Busmans Holiday

Capt Gil Berke and I had a busmans and put the little stick to work as well as get some great shots of the whales...

Update

Well it was a great September. We pretty much exclusively fished for bluefin tuna and had some pretty great outings. I apologize for not keeping up to date on the blog but it gets extremely hard when you just eat, sleep, fish!

The weather the past few days threw everybody for a loop and it ended up being two of the nicest days on the water this past month. Except for the rain the wind was under 5 knots yesterday when it was predicted to be blowin 35kts...Today was similar....We had a great day yesterday hooking 7 bluefin with the boys from KY and not seeing anybody else on the water...Hard to beat that.

As we move into Oct my schedule is very open. The fishing is still strong and very few boats OTW....If you would like to get out before this season is up now is the time to go...

Here are a few pics from the last couple weeks...

I had a long winded short story typed up but lost it due to a computer re-start while talking to my buddy doug baz on the phone...*just another reason to hate you doug* , so here is the short version.I had Jeffrey Cardenas onboard monday and tuesday looking to break the 8kg world record for fly caught tuna...Well we hooked him but as I suspected broke the class tippet after 10 or so minutes...I had an awesome time fishing with Jeffrey and am pretty sure we are friends for life. He is an immensely talented, worded, and successful individual who I am proud to be introduced to years ago *thanks Steve L* We hooked two and landed none but had alot of shots...The two days with Jeffrey reminded me why I do what I do...I am insanely addicted to big fish on the fly as is Jeffrey and he considers these Cape Cod bluefin the ultimate saltwater flyfishing challenge. I couldn't agree more and if your getting tired of catching, gaffing these fish on hardware then you might consider trying to get one of these fish on feathers. There aint *NOTHING* else like it.. Here are a few pics from the outing...*thanks Jaydreamin*!

Updates from the last few outings...

Well it was a good time to be sick I guess cuz it sure blewwwwwwwwwwww from the north and then from the SW.....My first day back otw was a hard one physically since I had very little stamina from being so sick....We still got it done and got a 60" fish in on the spinner and had several other hookups that came unbuttoned.
Yesterday was a mirror of the day before except that all fish came unbuttoned in one way or form.....Fishing has been fair to good to excellent on somedays but the weather is the biggest factor right now....
I have this weekend off with the storm for company then fishing with Jeffrey Cardenas on Monday and Tuesday......Praying the weather is going to be doable!!....
Sorry for lack of pics.....Time and energy is a hard thing to come by these days.....
