Early Summer '09


“I blew out My flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home”


Fishing has been steady but predictable. In South Florida , we have seen our usual dolphins in the 14-25 lbs range, occasional kings, bonitos, etc. but not much to get excited about. Our recent trip to Spanish Cay turned out to be an adventure due to the perennial problems with our boat’s computers and the Suzuki triplets acting up. Add four days of bad weather and monsoon storm and it was one of those trips we could have skipped. But we did manage to catch a few fish.

Luckily, our friends in La Gomera (Canary Islands) are having a good season. Although a grander continues to evade them, CP sent us a couple of pictures of some good size blues from earlier in May. Richard and Tim had a couple of big fish on their first week there. They will be back in July for more action and CP will continue to fish the area with Jose Luis until August when he will join us at the WMO. By the way, Richard and Tim are fishing with all StingRay equipment and CP will be testing an all-new StingRay rod series later on this season.

There is a lot of excitement here as we prepare to open our retail store and continue to increase our product line with some great items. We are looking at an exciting summer with the upcoming ICAST show, our WMO participation and then the grand opening in September. Make sure to stay in touch with us by subscribing to our newsletter.

Keep those pictures coming.......

Our friend and neighbor Chris from Palm Beach Gardens sent us a couple of very nice pictures of
kingfish caught on live bait. His crew caught these while ‘tuning up’ for the upcoming tournament season.
