Dec 23 - Dec 30
Santa has brought us LOADS of Marlin this week.
40 Marlin were released this past week with most boats fishing only 3 days!
The Action:
INCREDIBLE!
Every boat I see coming up to the dock right now has numerous Marlin Flags. For me the excitement is UNBELEIVABLE!
Rookie Captain Gilberto just pulled up to the dock with 4 Marlin flags. Darcie Hargis - released 3 Black Marlin today, this could be a Tropic Star Lodge Record for a lady releasing that many blacks in 1 day. Michael Stewart was left to bring in the fourth.
Susanne Deason who had never caught a billfish before released a personal grand slam today with a Blue, a Black and a two Sailfish. This lady has had an incredible week so far. She released 2 Black Marlin on her first day of fishing and 2 Blue Marlin on her second day of fishing.
Delora McEneney and John McEneney fished the Miss Spain; John almost got a Grand Slam on the 26th when he released a Black and a Blue Marlin, Delora got the Sailfish though so they did get a Grand Slam for the boat. John was delighted to release a Grand Slam on the 27th though. It was John’ first ever Marlin releases.
Justin Pate was ecstatic releasing a Black and David Pate a Blue Marlin.
Tim and Alicia Raines were not excluded in the Marlin Boom! Alicia released 2 Blacks today and Tim a Blue Marlin, their boat released 3 Sailfish as Well!!

Bernardo and Tereria Garcia’s luck would just not cooperate, they broke 2 good Marlin off, managed a Striped Marlin release and 5 Sailfish, better luck next time guys.
The charming Draper family with Joe and Christine Draper and their children Stephanie and Chris had a good time fishing on the Miss Panama Chris, 16 years old had the wonderful opportunity of releasing a Grand Slam: Black, Blue Marlin and Sailfish. This was Chris’ first ever Black Marlin and was estimated at 500lbs. Joe who gave the Black to his son was happy with a well sized Blue Marlin. Christine and Stephanie released Sailfish and Stephanie caught a 56lb Dorado - awesome fishing guys!
Special thanks to Stephanie for singing on Christmas eve, this girl has some voice and attitude and ought to go far with is.

Hard to beat this kind of fishing anywhere!
