Jay Marvin and his father and son are back and caught a blue true to form before 7:00 am. Last season they caught 3 marlin in 3 days before 9:00 each day and being satisfied with their early catches we went in so they could finish their days by the pool. We tagged this fish at 6:40 in the morning. and missed 2 more fish. Not wanting to mess with the routine we went in at 11:00 to make sure we didn’t change their luck. Got some good shots of this one on the Polu Kai tube.

Marlin University Day 4
Posted on August 9th, 2010
Day 4 was a IGFA rules tournament for our anglers so they pooled some cash for the top boat of 4 boats. The winner got the pot. We brought in a ringer from Florida our 11 year old buddy James David,son of Jimmy and Debbi David of L and H Sportsfishing. We caught a fish out on the 1000 fathom line. Our student wired the fish after he learned the rules of the road from Charles Perry. Mat and Walker stood by for saftey and everything went fine. James got the tag in and we won the jackpot. It was a great week with great people. It was so nice to have Marlin University come to Kona. It was very well run and the students and instructors were great! We really appreciate everyone who attended and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

It was great to catch up with Peter Wright and Charles Perry this week. It has been awhile since we saw each other. These guys are 2 of my mentors. I sure learned a lot from fishing with them over the years. Charles talked about the great days of fishing we had while fishing Madeira in the mid 90’s. It made me home sick for Madeira and the old friends we have from some of the best fishing years I have ever seen.

Marlin University Day One
Posted on August 9th, 2010
Marlin University came to Kona to teach anglers about fishing for Pacific Blue Marlin and Spearfish. The Humdinger with Capt Jeff Fay, the Ihu Nui with Capt Mc Grew Rice, the Marlin Magic, with Jason Holtz and the Norther Lights with Kevin Nakamaru were the classrooms for the week. Instructors Peter B Wright, Charles Perry,Dave Ferall, and Walker Holcolm taught 16 anglers about any part of the fishing here in Kona they wanted to learn about. It was a good first day we missed our bites but Jeff and Peter caught one at the end of the day and here Brett Fay lets the fish go. We went 0 for 3 today. Good to see the fish.
