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

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.

Chris with a nice WAHOO

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! ”

Claudia from Norwich, Norfolk get her 1st fish from the ocean and does it with a nice Wahoo. She took some back to her hotel that evening and told me it was the best fish she ever tasted. and BTW. this was one out of ten hookups and 5 in the boat up to 64 lb.

WAHOO off MADEIRA average good size.

The Wahoo this year are averaging 40 to 50 pounds with the big ones over 60. Thats great fun angling on 20 lb gear.

OCTOBER 8th and BETTER again

The Captain with the days catch of 6 out of 11 hookups. All the strikes were multiples and up to four at a time. It gets hectic with two anglers on 20 lb gear and trying to handle four fish at a time.

OCTOBER gets BETTER
