Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tunas, Dorado

The last two weeks of fishing has been great. I recall last March when we were hooking some big fish just one mile outside the bay. It was truly an incredible experience when we hooked into those beasts so close to shore. It seems like history repeated itself. Many anglers got into big marlin action and I must say that I am impressed with the size of some of the blacks and blues we’ve released over the past two weeks (500-600 lb). The reef and up to around three miles west of it has been very productive and there were also lots of big Yellowfin Tunas around to keep us busy. The inshore bite has also been nothing short of spectacular and our guests have been plucking out some big Cubera Snappers and roosterfish from the shoreline.

Luis Ortiz Villaba released a monster BLACK MARLIN this week estimated at 700 lbs. His buddy Francisco scored a double; releasing his first two BLACK MARLIN around 400 lbs and 250 lbs. He also released a lovely 110 lb PACIFIC SAILFISH. Andre Bilip, released his biggest BLACK MARLIN ever, estimated at 750 lbs. Sandra Ferguson also released her first big BLACK MARLIN this week. The skipper said it went around 600 lbs. James Curtis Jr. also scored his first BLACK MARLIN around 500 lbs. He went on to release a second BLACK MARLIN around 400 lbs later on in the week.

Ron Paulson released his first BLACK MARLIN estimated at 400 lbs. Both Pat Kennedy and Steve Walker released their first BLACK MARLIN this week estimated at around 300 lbs. Pat Calella also scored her first 250 lb BLACK MARLIN.

Bob Weinert released his first BLUE MARLIN, a big girl in the 600 lb range. Carol Klutch released her first BLUE MARLIN estimated at 500 lbs. Therese Montupet released her first BLUE MARLIN also in the 500 lb range. Frank Cirone scored his first BLUE MARLIN estimated at 350 lbs. Also, Gary Thoe, John Ackerman, Audi Nelson, Mike Echevarria, Scott Strady and Steve all released their first BLUE MARLIN this week.
