Kelly on a one day charter (01) got a Grand Slam! A 250 blue, 300 black and 4 sails. What a great day.
The Wojahn party fishing on the ‘Makaira’ (3-4-5) released 9 sails of 12 bites, but no marlin. Fishing was pretty close – 950ft of water about 20-25 miles out. Clean water for a change.
The Nusz party fishing on the ‘ Intensity’ (3 thru 7) released 14 sails of 21 bites. Plus raised one blue which ate the bait and spit it out five seconds later.
John and Poppy Brownlee are down here now with a group of publishers from Saltwater Sportsman. They released 32 sails of 45 bites on ‘Captain Hook’, ‘Rum Line’ and ‘Makaira’ (8 thru 10).

‘Captain Hook’ released 11 for 15 bites and a 375 blue
‘Rum Line’ released 3 for 15 bites – there’s one fly angler aboard
