Blue Marlin and dolphins

Butch and the boys with their catch


Jr directing traffic. These guys needed all the directing they could get. Haha
Today we had a good crowd along with us and some pretty weather to go along with it for a change. The last couple of days have been pretty rough. We jigged a limit of Amber Jacks this morning then went back in search of some other fish. I found a log floating and that is where we caught all but a couple of our dolphins at. Lucky find there. We went on and fished up the hundred from there and hooked and caught a 500 pound Blue Marlin this after noon. What a great day. Same crew again in the morning if the weather will let us go.

Yellowfins are showing up

Brandons Snowy Grouper


The yellowfins have made a showing the last couple of days and they are a nice class of fish. I'd say they are averaging close to 40 lbs a piece. Yesterday we had Andrew and Terry Fink and their friends Steve and Brandon along. We went looking for the tunas first thing in the morning and we caught a nice wahoo while we were setting out. The guys had asked about trying for a grouper so we fished to near a spot and made a drop, luckily we had a bite and caught a 40 lb. Snowy for the guys. We went back to tuna fishing and ended up catching 4 for the day and loosing 4 others, it just goes that way sometimes. It was a pretty day on the water and we were glad to be there.
