We were excited going into the last day in second with the chance of possibly winning. If we weighted another fish 403 or better we could win. If we stayed fish for fish with the Ihu Nui we would get second. As the day unfolded the current shifted from good enough north to north and …
We had Angelo on day 4 . We stared off trolling and stuck with it. The grounds looked great and the bait raced in and out on the ledge. We trolled through it all day and couldn’t believe we couldn’t get a bite. I slid down to the light and we finally caught a fish. …
We had pervious TART winner ———-with us. He caught 4 blues with us in the 2009 tournament in one day. The 4 tags help him win that tournament. We looked forward to the same kind of luck. After we had a hard time catching bait we switched over right away and hooked up a nice …

Today we had Ken on board for day one. The day started off with a the Ihu Nui getting off to a fast start tagging one in the first 10 minutes. Before we could catch a bait the Humdinger tagged a fish right away. It was good to see the tournament off to a good …
Steve Cireco Came back to fish with us again this year and his timing on the new moon couldn’t have been better. We started off with a fish that bit and took off getting us in the dacron right away. It was evident that something was wrong when it went down and we could see …

Dr Wengler and his friends came to visit once again. Dr Mike was armed with his cameras and we got some great images together again. This fish was a wild one that jumped back at us and passed the boat as it exploded up the side. Again I had to drive and had to put …
A Good friend of mine visited from Brazil. We met when I went to fish for him on his yacht in 2009. He visited here with his family in Aug. It was a great union of our two families and it seemed that even though our kids had just met it seemed they had known …
Here you see the boys from Paq Inc with some of the animals they got while they were here. One the most memorable hunts of the trip was a goat hunt where Tim Chris and I made a challenging walk deep into the lava fields to find these nice goats. The sheep Tim got was …
Tim Robbins of the meat distributing company Paq Inc put a group trip together to hunt and fish with us. We fished 3 days with 3 boats and had fairly good action. The marlin fishing slowed down a bit and we were able to get into the tuna fairly well. The OTEC Buoy was biting …
