All around fishing prevailed this last week. We released striped marlin, sailfish, and roosterfish of 60lbs as well as a 250lb yellowfin tuna.
The Action:
Herbert and Jean Casey, Leason and Marlene Pomer fished on Miss Alaska and released 25 sailfish.
Dr. Waldrop brought some friends and family down to the lodge. Fishing the Miss Australia Mr. Bill Heard Senior released 15 sailfish, and fought a 200lb plus yellowfin tuna for 2 hours on an 80lb leader.
Dr. Waldrop fished the Miss England he released a nice striped marlin, hooked another on his spinning rod but the fish got the better of the fight. He also released some nice sailfish.
Frank and Claire Prince fished the Miss Australia for the latter half of the week and released 6 sailfish. Frank also caught some magnificent roosterfish of 60 and 70lbs. Sailfish and dolphin on the fly rounded a great fishing trip, well done guys!
Mulford Waldrop, Mark Dykes and Jake Gudger fished the Miss Tropic Star, they released 16 sailfish and one striped marlin. Jake was the lucky marlin angler to get his first striped marlin.
On Girls Day, team effort, Laura Gower and Jennifer Waldrop released a nice striped marlin.
Rodney Fickle was most proud of his 100lb yellowfin tuna as well he should be – good job!
Miss Tropic Star and Island Star fished inshore and caught a variety of fish with the Heard family and kids. Bill Heard III caught 12 different game fish in 3 hours.
The Bull family joined us mid week and each caught and released their first sailfish on the Miss Puerto Rico with Captain Armando; they really enjoyed the atmosphere of our National Geographic setting.
The Vernon Dickman group fished the Miss Scandia for a half week and released 13 sailfish and caught 26 dolphin.
Tom Nolan, Michael McCloskey and new comer Bruce Kuryla returned to the lodge with their sons and fished the Miss Darien and Costa Rica they released 17 sailfish. Bruce Kuryla Jr. did a fine job bringing in a 250lb yellowfin tuna. We were not sure if Andrew and William enjoyed the fishing or Chi Chi, our lab more.
