Nice morning with our mechanics Keith and Travis from Topshape Marine. Big thanks to the guys for keeping both boats running good all summer.

This tag was sponsored by the Laguna Niguel Billfish Club participating in the IGFA great Marlin Race. I?ll be posting the results of their travels as the tags pop up.
Nice to Fly fish on the Northern Lights with legend Sandy Moret of Islamorda Outfitters. Had one good window where we saw 2 blues and 3spears in a 3hour window.Had a couple almost switch to the fly and in the end not end up switching. We love the challenge of billfishing on fly. Hanging with masters of the game like Sandy makes the tough days and focus fishing really worth it. Thanks for the great fishing . #Islamorda outfit
