All HELL BROKE LOSE in Venice and Guatemala when it came to the MARLIN BITE.....

Venice: After two back to back over night trips with the STRIKE ZONE TOO 55' we had six Blue Marlin on and only got one tagged....I guest it was the excitement. The fishing was great...The rips were not made up in the mornings and on some of the days they were great in the afternoon...We picked up 23 nice Bull Dolphin, the largest was 48 lbs and a few small Wahoo in the four days of fishing ...The night bite on Tuna was very good...The Blackfin were loaded up and the Yellowfin were hard to catch because the Blackfin and Barracudas' were thick....We did get over 21 in the two nights and the largest was 120 lbs.

Got to see and talk to lot of my good and dear captain/friends....Capt James Peters help one day with some live bait on his way back to the dock....Not lonely is he one of the best captains in Venice he is a great entertainer...He had me and my costumers on the floor of the flying bridge laughing....He was imitating one of the Captains and he was fun as hell .. Great Job Captain James....

Guatemala: I only had a short conversation with Capt. Edgar in Guatemala and all he had to say was that the Marlin bite for Blue and Black Marlin was ON...Capt Tyson on the Jacpot had a 700+ pounder yesterday....I will get a full report by Monday....I have some dates open in July for a fishing trip of a life time....GUATEMALA.

Next week is the Mississippi Gulf Coast Big Game Classic(June 3-7)...I talked to my good friend Bobby Carter at the Isle of Capri and he said this is going to be one of his best tournaments...Get your boats and come join in the fun....I still have the 55' Strike Zone Too open for a group that want to win some serious money and have a lot of fun....Give me a call at 225-279-3800...
