Tuesday, September 7th, 2010Chris with a nice WAHOO
Sunday, November 8th, 2009This 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! ”
OCTOBER 8th and BETTER again
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009The 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.

FIRST TIME ANGLERS
Saturday, July 18th, 2009Here is a good example of success for a first time angler. This fish also came up tail wrapped and completely out of puff. Turning a fish loose in this condition could result in certain death. We tied a lanyard to the bill and towed the fish about one boat length behind the boat; slow ahaed on one engine. About ten minutes was all it took and the fish started swimming upright and came right up to the boat where it was released to live a good life in the North atlantic. see you next year Fish !!
