Having Fun with the Florida Fun Fishers
We recently had the Florida Fun Fishers take over the lodge! The Florida Fun Fishers are a group of Gentlemen who travel the world and experience only the best fishing, eating and drinking possible! What better place for outstanding fishing, eating and drinking than Casa Vieja Lodge?! We were lucky enough to be their Lodge of choice this year!
This group of gentlemen had a remarkable trip with even better numbers! They fished a total of 3 days and ended their trip with 508 Sailfish raises, 419 Sailfish bites, and 215 Sailfish releases! They also had 14 Blue Marlin raises, 9 Blue Marlin bites, 8 Blue Marlin releases PLUS 1 Striped Marlin, 16 Mahi-mahi, 2 Jacks, and a GRAND SLAM (Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, & Sailfish)!! Needless to say the fishing is still RED HOT, and we hope to have the Florida Fun Fishers back at the lodge sometime soon!
Mr. Joe Santora, the Commodore of the Florida Fun Fishers, said: “We have been back a week now and I am still receiving calls telling me how much they loved this place. Keep in mind we have been all over the world fishing and Casa Vieja is tops.”
15%OFF, say what?
This June we will be offering 15% off the entire package! We are expecting the fishing in June to be as great as it has been in May. June forecast calls for calm seas, sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, tuna, and jacks all in the spread!
During June the lodge will be undergoing some minor renovations in hopes of making it an even better experience and environment for next fishing season! We will have a few boats running, and a smaller staff operating during this time but our exceptional staff service will remain the same and the renovations will not affect your stay! Because of the limited availability during June, make sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible because they are going fast!
DEAL ALERT: For the remaining part of May 2016 we are now offering 15% off Missionaries day charters!
Fishing Highlights
The people season may be coming to an end but the fish are continuing to dance! So far in May we have had multiple days with numbers in the 70’s and 80’s. This past Saturday a Father/Son Fishing trip turned into a once in a lifetime GRAND SLAM on his son’s first fishing trip in the Pacific Ocean! FISHING HAS BEEN AWESOME! We still have a few spots left in May! Call us 1-800-882-4665 today to reserve your spot.
