(January 10th)
Great action and awesome weather once again here in Palm Beach. Yes, the sails are still here and the action is hot, but today we had a pleasant surprise:
John’s 14 y.o. nephew David joined us this weekend and caught his first billfish. Not the expected sail, but an awesome white marlin. He fought the fish a little longer than we like due to the light tackle he was using and being David’s first, we did not want to take a chance; but it was a good release and the white swam away no worse for the wear. David was using a 20lbs rated Azul spinner rod and a prototype of our new Aqua saltwater spinner reel.
Awesome job David. You are the ‘MAN’. And yes, I owe you fifty bucks.
It was a full featured day with a lot of action. Back at the dock by 2 PM.
Until next time.

THE BITE IS ON (January 3rd)
The sailfish action out of Lake Worth Inlet is outstanding this season and the weather is cooperating with nice cool and calm days. Here are some pictures from Saturday. All caught on our Cockpit Chaos series and prototypes of our new Tigre high retrieve reels (coming this February)

Monica patiently waits. She had three hook ups within two hours

Michelle landed this nice grouper bouncing a goggle eye off the bottom as we drifted . She was using a Caliente Pink stand-up rod and a prototype Tolimar reel
And a 'plug' for Marlin University

Matt caught this striper all by himself. You stilll can't wipe the smile off this nine year old's face
