Need help with smuggler hunt (governor mission)

[Lucky]

Hi. I need some please. The governor of Saint-Pierre has ordered me to track and kill smugglers, but I can't find them / their ship. Any ideas? Greetings Lucky

They'll spawn on 2 ships of the same type (2 luggers for ex.) somewhere near the island at some time. I usually enter the battle map every 3 hours while looking for them.

They also spawn generally at the end of the timeframe that was initially given by the governor, so if he said for example "in 5 days" try around the 4th day and after near the island, you can tour the island checking its different locations by using the "warp to", they will be 2 ships with the national flag of the nation that gave you the quest, you need to be very close to one of the 2, warp to them directly, which will trigger them turning hostile after some seconds and you can engage fighting.

When i said "5 days" it was just an exemple, i dont remember the timeframe for the mission at all, just that the ships spawn close to the end of the mission timer, that's all.

Also you can make some good money from those missions, reselling the goods yourself to smugglers later.
