Reel Candy is Back in The Bahamas

May 2011

Hello Friends and Anglers!

Winter fishing for The Reel Candy team was very busy, fishing from Sailfish Marina in Stuart, and San Salvador Bahamas. The wahoo bite was exceptional this year. All the Guests of Stingray Tackle"s Big Game Fishing School caught wahoo over 50 pounds with some almost touching the triple digit mark. Most attendees have already rebooked for the 2012 Monster Wahoo Season.

We just concluded an Invitational Marlin Tournament that began in the Aklins, Crooked Island, Samana Cay, and back to San Salvador. Congratulations to Game On for their 1st place finish. You can guess who was 2nd.

The Reel Candy team ended our week Sunday till Friday going 4 for 6 on blue marlin, 7 yellowfins, with 2 over 60 pounds, and 7 mahi over 20.

We left San Sal yesterday and ended up at Hawks Nest on Cat Island. Looks like a good marlin bite here.  We also heard that Rum had a real good bite Friday. Yellowbird and Weekly Sails, both saw multiple blues.

We are leaving here Wednesday and heading for Marsh Harbour. We are open Memorial Day Weekend and have a couple of dates left in June for fishing the Abacos. We will also be happy to help with accommodations. The Reel Candy will be leaving Marsh around July 1st and looking for a marllin bite in San Sal or Rum. If you are interested in any of these locations, book early.

Join us for summer marlin fishing 2011!
