Tournament season is here with a vengeance. MAKO finished up fourth for the Bermuda Billfish Blast. We came out of the blocks quickly with two Blues on day one. We did ok but Que Mas released five Blues for the day. What a show! Well done Travis and crew.

MAKO TAKES SECOND!
The Bermuda Billfish Release Cup just finished and MAKO finished second!  Chuck McKenzie and his sons chartered MAKO for the tournament and Chuck was able to catch the first Blue of the tournament. The play by play on the fishing can be found here.  Congratulations to Team McKenzie - great job guys!

Blue!
Blue water is good if you are looking at it from the bridge while trolling. On a sea surface temperature chart it is not so handy. The good news is that the cold water is finally giving way to some at least reasonable water - we got 74 degrees yesterday for the first [...]

We just finished up a few days fishing with Chris Woodward and the gang from Sport Fishing Magazine as well as Eros from Bluefin USA. We were concentrating on using top water plugs to try and scare up some fish. The water was cold and bait was scarce, but we managed to get [...]

The weather has generally been great and last year’s seaweed has stayed away so far. The water temperature, however, is very cold compared to what history would [...]

Make sure you call or email to talk about our ability to package lodging with your fishing trip this summer.  We are really excited about the ability to save our customers some serious money and stay in a nice [...]

Well, not really fishing.
Mako made the trip to North Carolina and back.  We did some work to fix all those little things that were not quite right when we left in June.  She is ready to go now and it looks like our timing is good - the Yellowfin Tuna are pretty thick out there!

Live baiting for Wahoo produces pretty good numbers of reasonable sized fish.

October is in full swing with great catches of Wahoo and Tuna.

Between our trip to Costa Rica and some challenging weather, we did not fish enough this week to have much to say.  Wahoo are biting well and there are some Yellowfin Tuna out there.  Smooth Operator released a couple of Blue Marlin that did not hear that they were supposed to be in St. Thomas.
