Rough Saturday, Smooth Seas

While we had beautifully calm seas on Saturday, the fish didn't want to cooperate. Not sure if the feeding frenzy Friday kept the fish from biting Saturday or if the big full moon had something to do with it, but the Marlin didn't want to eat. You can lead a horse to water right?

Chris Vine fished a half-day with his wife Christal, friends Ken and Becky Roux, as well as Brian Roux and Jaime Fisher. Captain Javier on Rum Runnnin', stayed inshore on the half-day and the six anglers caught a few Skippies and 3 Sierra that they brought back to cook up for dinner. Chris is thinking about fishing the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot with us this year after being impressed by the boats and crews.

RedRum, El Nuevo RedRum and TantRum all came back shaking their heads wondering why they couldn't get Marlin to bite as they all saw multiple Marlin.

Captain Pancho on Marlin Too was the only one able to get a few fish to bite as anglers Sean Plummer and Jeff Koll each got to catch and release a nice Striped Marlin. This was Sean's first Billfish and he was stoked!

Best,
Ryan
