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 had the pleasure of fishing with the top notch fishing team from New Zealand. The team fishes ultra light tackle for fish far about the ratio of the line. They had broken over 20 billfish records most of them in the last few years. Capt. John Batterton has been an old friend for years …
Mat Bowman finished out the 2011 summer with a bang. The great tuna day with had with Geza capped off a great summer. Mat heads to the East Coast for the fall to run Maine Mobile Shrink Wrap with his partner Ben. They have a business that specializes in shrink wrapping boats and water towers …
Geza got the tuna on great timing on 2 great days. The fish have been in the dolphins and we were able to get on them pretty good. We had good action on the tuna stick and some luck live baiting for them. The fall can be hard fishing due to the small food fish …
We were excited going into the last day in second with the chance of possibly winning. If we weighted another fish 403 or better we could win. If we stayed fish for fish with the Ihu Nui we would get second. As the day unfolded the current shifted from good enough north to north and …
We had Angelo on day 4 . We stared off trolling and stuck with it. The grounds looked great and the bait raced in and out on the ledge. We trolled through it all day and couldn’t believe we couldn’t get a bite. I slid down to the light and we finally caught a fish. …
We had pervious TART winner ———-with us. He caught 4 blues with us in the 2009 tournament in one day. The 4 tags help him win that tournament. We looked forward to the same kind of luck. After we had a hard time catching bait we switched over right away and hooked up a nice …
Today we had Donny on board and caught a bait in the morning!!!! Finally. It was a good bait and found a spot down the hatch. The circle found a spot in the corner and we were on.We took the fish that was bigger than the 300 qualifying weight. It was a nice sized fish …
Today we had Ken on board for day one. The day started off with a the Ihu Nui getting off to a fast start tagging one in the first 10 minutes. Before we could catch a bait the Humdinger tagged a fish right away. It was good to see the tournament off to a good …
Steve Cireco Came back to fish with us again this year and his timing on the new moon couldn’t have been better. We started off with a fish that bit and took off getting us in the dacron right away. It was evident that something was wrong when it went down and we could see …
Today we had another bang up day with Steve. Our hook percentage went up this week. We really had a tough time for awhile but caught this nice fish along with 2 others. 3-4 today
Steve was riding the wave of a great trip. It seemed the fish were sticking and we had it together the last week. The fish were aggressive and hooking up for not only us but our fellow bots that were out. we tagged 2 more on Steve’s last day here are some of the jump …
