What a great week of fishing at Tropic Star Lodge. Black marlin were feeding on the reef the fleet had no trouble putting our guests on some really good action. The marlin were running big too with many in the 500-600 lb range and a monster that went 750 lbs.

We ended the week with an awesome 49 Marlin releases. Also, further offshore, hoards of tuna kept all busy though the bite was sporadic at times.
