HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2010. Its going to be a GREAT YEAR.

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

This past season has been one of the best Blue Marlin seasons I have ever had. It was Absolutely Brilliant.
The highlight for me was my daughter Katherine with her first fish and releasing a potential World Record. She showed amazing ability. It was my best day ever.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all those anglers who have fished with me over the years and wish them a Very Happy 2010. It is going to be a Great Year.

Happy New Year with a glass of water... Well a little Paddy's Irish Whisky to give it some flavor !

Claire with her 50 lb WAHOO

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Claire got her second wahoo but earned it the hard way after a 1:1/2 hour battle on 20 lb.
The fish was hooked in the corner of the jaw and gave the young lady the fight of her life.img_4989

Chris with a nice WAHOO

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

This is a 60 lb fish and serious work on 20 lb gear. Like trying to hang onto a Race horse at high speed. Chris wrote me a few days ago and said ” I had a really good time and I never expected the Wahoo fishing to be that good, and the night out at Viola topped it off and the boy managed a big T-bone with a pint! ”
