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

This week it’s marlin; blues and stripes. Big Dorados were also patrolling the trash lines offshore and again the inshore bite continued to be spectacular, however with the rains, the water along the coast changed and the bite slowed at the end of the week.

This week we also hosted the annual 2010 Tropic Star Challenge Tournament, put on by Diane Locke and Scott Parsons. Twelve anglers competed against each other over five days of fierce action on light tackle.  Tom Curran won the Top Angler award this year and both Tom and Mark Mitchell won Top Team.

Hohn Hotz released his first BLACK MARLIN this week, a monster that was estimated at 700+ lbs. Scott Parsons released his first PACIFIC BLUE MARLIN this week estimated at 300 lbs. Alfred and Mark Teo both released their first PACIFIC BLUE MARLIN around 300 lbs. Tom Curran released his first PACIFIC BLUE MARLIN estimated at 300 lbs and Mark Luzon released his first PACIFIC BLUE MARLIN estimated at 250 lbs.  

Clint Everett released his first Striped Marlin this week thus completing his BILLFISH ROYAL SLAM. Susan Coleman hooked a “Grande” STRIPED MARLIN in the 300 lb range and got the release. This was her first Striped Marlin.  Lawrence Morris released his first STRIPED MARLIN estimated at 200 lbs. Mark Mitchell also released his first STRIPED MARLIN estimated at 200 lbs.

With all this marlin around we are looking forward to next week as we’ll be hosting yet another light tackle tournament. I can’t wait!!!
