After seven months and a ton of Money we got a bailout on the Strike Zone II. She is back in Venice at Cypress Cove with everything you can put on a sportfishing yacht. The 55' Ocean now has a 600lb built in ice maker, underwater lights, Satellite TV and Radio, so our customers can watch their favorite sport events or watch their stocks go down during the trip even if they are offshore.

Capt Kevin Aderhold and Capt Kenny had a 24 hr last Saturday night on the 55' ...The weather was not bad after all the bad reports. The had a Blackfin night with all the Blackfin you wanted to catch. I think the Yellowfin could not get to the bait because of the amount of Blackfin . When the sun came up the Yellowfin were aggressive. The had three Yellowfin in the box and started trolled back to the north trying to catch a big Blue Marlin...no luck.

Capt Josh Howard on Saturday ran a day trip on the 39' Stress Management. In the morning it was testy so he went Amberjack hunting.....Capt Josh is one of the best AJ killer in Venice...His group had a great time fighting AJ all day.

From our Guatemala base we had Pat Anderson and family from Baton Rouge on the 55' Jacpot last week for two days of unbelievable fishing. The first day they had 15 Sail Fish and the second day they had 18 Sail Fish. A long with the Sails they had a box of Bull Dolphin. They were a little disappointed...They had to run 23 miles out before they could fish. The month before they were fishing only 8 miles offshore. What a bad problem....WE WOULD STILL BE RUNNING IN THE RIVER OUT OF VENICE

The fishing in Louisiana and Guatemala is heating up. I have one opening on a Guatemala trip on March 25 to the 30. Get a group of friends and come Fish and Party in Guatemala at your own private villa and yacht.....The airfare in the next few weeks is around $325.00 from New Orleans to Guatemala City. A three hour trip..........You will have a BLAST

We have some opening for tournaments in the Gulf on the 39' and the 55' sportfishing yachts.
