MARLIN, MARLIN, MARLIN!!......(AND LOTS OF SAILFISH TOO!!)



We have been stuck at the dock the last few days and feeling ill for it too, for all the action that has been going on out there that we have been missing out on......Monday as reported it went off, though the details have just come through. Nat Harris fishing with Capt Haole on the fly had an unbeleivable day releasing an est 350lb blue, the perfect bite resulted in a solid hook-up and Nat pulled all the right moves, near free-spooling the fly reel on the first run. When the fish calmed down he put the heat on and they had the fish boat-side in 25 min. That's a world record fish on the fly, congratulations to the team, incredible stuff! Jim Turner, owner of the Casa Vieja and fleet heard of the bite and flew down to fish with Capt Mike Sheeder on the Intensity, live-baiting all day they released 3 blues and a black, missing another 2 blues.
Things slowed down on the marlin front on the 11th though the sailfish were snapping with boats releasing up to 35 on the baits. The bite was right at the bottom of the pocket at 8 to 10NM.
Today the 12th Dec in the same area fishing baits boats had up to 40 odd bites and 25 releases, marlin were right there at the bottom of the pocket too with boats getting one a peice, Capt Mike on the Itensity released his first marlin on the fly. Congrats to him and the angler Jake Jordan. Capt Brad Phillips on Decisve had a slow morning in the same area so went off shore to where the fish were a few days previous. Spotting a school bonito they pulled up and started live-baiting, inside 3 hours they released 6 blue marlin from 7 bites!!! Incredible stuff with just a solo angler on board. Congratulations to them all. A helluva marlin bite with lots of sailfish and plenty of doardo.
