We got called on for what I call now mission impossible. Sandra Hiler in Indiana called to charter the Northern Lights to catch her two of the 9 billfish species she needed to complete her slam of billfish. I assumed we would start the first week of February or so to start trying. I suggested the dates around that time and she said that it was time sensitive and we would need to get a Pacific Blue and a Spearfish by the 27th of Oct. I made sure the odds were clear and we booked a week to try. We started early everyday and gave it all we got. Day 1 and 2 were slow fishing. I stayed outside the 1000 most of the day trying for the spear because I have good luck with them out there. It isn’t my favorite for blues but the spears like it out there so we found no fish at all. We caught a Mahi and could have caught other gamefish but stuck to the plan and hunted spears. On day 3 we caught this nice Blue which got the Pacific Blue out of the way. We went back out to the deep and pounded the 1000 with no luck on spears.
