CHASCO GROUP
March 25-26th it was awesome to catch up with the Chasco Group again from Austin TX. Last year their group was 8, this year it grew to 12 fishing aboard Allure II, Intensity and Capt Hook.
Incredible shot from Intensity who released 2 blues their first day out.
The weather conditions were a bit tougher this year with a late unseasonal blow from the north.
But despite the conditions the group released 19 sailfish and 3 blue marlin along with boating several nice mahi’s and tunas
