STUCKEY SLAM !
Jay Stuckey and Brian Dupont
Oct 7-9th Jay and grandson Brian were down specifically targeting marlin and October lived up to its billing as a great marlin month….After a slow first day out we got into them with Brian releasing a striped marlin in the morning on the second day. You gotta fancy your chances getting the tough one out of the way first thing off the bat.
And sure enough they completed the slam for the day going 2 from 2 on blues and 3 from 6 on sailfish.
Awesome job….Jay brought his luck, once again. A great trip all round with 7 blue marlin raised over the 3 days and they released 4 from 5 bites, 1 stripey released and 16 sailfish in the spread with 5 released from 13 bites. Plenty of logs out there holding bonitos, mahi and the marlin were in the periphery…..
Never ceases to amaze the size of bait those mahi will swallow…
RICHTER / MEYER TRIP
Bobby and Bryan Richter with Jonathan Meyer
October 3-6th another trip targeting October marlin with the Port Aransas Crew and we got off to a great start releasing a nice blue marlin…
Then mid afternoon a solid black marlin…
Though try as we did to get the ‘easy’ one to complete the slam, we could not find that sailfish, that’s a rare day in Guatemala. The next days we went out wide looking for the spinner dolphin and tunas. We did find some spinners though no tuna action. We did however find some good sailfish and marlin activity while covering ground.
And no shortage flotsam and good sized mahi’s as well..
Alejandro Morales getting into the action as well…
In between bite entertainment…..
All in all an epic trip with the crew, plenty of laughs and excellent fishing to boot with 10 blue marlin raised they released 4 from 4 bites, 1 black marlin and we raised 35 sailfish releasing 15 from 26 bites. Throw in a bunch of large mahi mahi to round it all off and October once again produced great fishing.
KIWI CREW….
Ellie, Alison, Maaaaarls, Laura, Dr Nick and Shaun with Rick ‘Flex’ Whitehead MIA
Late September….Good to se the above crew make the effort and get all the way out here to Guatemala from NZ. Mostly sightseeing with a couple of days fishing in between we had good action out there…
There he is….
Total for the trip was 13 from 19 bites on sailfish, a blue marlin in the spread that didn’t switch to the bait and several mahi’s for dinner…
