An Andre and Judy Pachon came to fish with us on the Northern Lights this Fall at the end of the year. Knowing it was the end of our season they came with low expectations and a great happy go lucky attitude. They understand the nature of the sporting game hunting and fishing back at …
Ed and Kyle Twehouse hunted with me for 2 days and we found these 2 nice sheep. It was a great father and son hunt with a lot of good action and had great hunts. We were looking for a Fall tom turkey for Kyle who is and avid Turkey hunter at home . We …
Here are some close ups of some sheep we didn’t take during our last few hunts. Some were so close we could have practically touched them. Some of these were nice but we had already taken a ram and were hiking back to the truck with our sheep or just let it slide waiting for …
Tday Chip Van Mols and I took out the Noklby Family for a day fishing on the 40 foot Gamefisherman. We had a long day of trolling until we saw a really nice fish come to the short bait. It came up all over the lure and didn’t bite. It looked well over 500 but …
I apologize for my posts being late this season. It has been a great year with a ton of good action. We have been in the field so much working that it has been really hard to get in the office. I have been hoping to have the trips and stay busy fishing and hunting …
Here the first coats are on. With taking the prep sanding down so smooth it is shining early in the job. I took the table home to my shop where I sprayed about 12 coats of Imron clear over it. I sprayed 6 coats on the first day . I sanded flat and …
Today I started working on the boat. I started off slow by stripping the interior varnish. It was in pretty nice shape but was on the verge so I decided to strip the varnish entirely instead of trying to patch it here and there. It seemed at the start like I could bang it …
The Bergstedt family fished with us today on Halloween. It was Sharon’s birthday and we had a good day at sea to celebrate. We trolled down to the dolphins and fished the tuna stick most of the day. It was poor timing for the traffic. There were a lot of boats there which made it …
We had a nice couple of days of fishing focused on our goal. A spearfish. By this time word had spread of our quest. Everyone in the fleet was helping us try to find one but they weren’t to be found. At 2:30 in the afternoon on our last day we hooked another nice Blue …
We hunted and hunted for spears and found that they really are rare billfish especially in Oct. It was a tough thing to do but we kept fishing hoping for the luck that Sandra has in fishing. She has caught a lifetime of billfish in a short time. Her accomplishment over the last 35 days …
We got called on for what I call now mission impossible. Sandra Hiler in Indiana called to charter the Northern Lights to catch her two of the 9 billfish species she needed to complete her slam of billfish. I assumed we would start the first week of February or so to start trying. I suggested …
I got back from Nova Scotia and had to go fishing right away. I was afraid of the jet lag but it turned out to be fine. Capt Brain Balanico came with me to take this wedding party out for the day. We started off great with a nice Mahi and on the way back …
The weather played a big role in the fishing the last days we were there. It was frustrating for us but as the days ticked on and the wind blew we couldn’t get out. The water got dirty for the wind and we finally got out for 2 days right at the end of our …
It felt great going back to start chumming again having released a fish so soon. The weather was great and once we started marking the bait we started chumming again. We made a few drifts on The Ridge before tuna came back to the chum. We selectively served baits to the fish trying to give …
Jeff Mat and I could barely sleep the night before day one. The weather was good and the tuna were biting. Seeing the one at the dock made it real and shook the cob webs out from all the traveling. Rob and his friend Sam met us at the boat and we headed out to …
