Sail Release We are now in the beginning of the rainy and sailfish season. The rain is sporadic as are the sails.

We found sails in small groups producing double and triple-headers. The main migration should happen any day now and we expect it to coincide with the rain. This will bring nutrients to the sea, sardine boils and "voila" we have our sailfish.

The Action:

We released 170 sailfish with most boats fishing only three days with our half-week package.

The Miss Canada with Captain Jose released 39 sails followed by Darien and England with 38 and 24 sail released.

We had good inshore fishing with 50 lb plus snappers and roosterfish.

With less time being fished for marlin we only released two marlin - a blue and a black. John Guitar released a nice black marlin - his first - on the Miss Panama. Mike Barcott was very proud of his son Daniel, releasing a nice blue marlin.

Richard Jandl has been coming for a number of years and has brought his sons and grandsons before, this year he brought his brother who was not sure how he would feel about fishing for billfish but after releasing a good number of sails and then a black marlin he is hooked and had a "Whale" of a time!

First blue marlin:
Daniel Barcott

First black marlin:
Robert K Jandl and John Guitar

First sailfish:
Robert Jangle, Robert Davis, Donna Slivka, Troy Slivka, Pam Cassel, Jackie McCradle, Dennis Caillouette, Harry Strunk, TJ Shrunk, Steve Arch, Mary Matheson, Adam Aitchison

Weather, calm seas with average fishing

Tight Lines,
Hennie
