MA500 Wrap Up and Photos

Walt Kuhn — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:07:28 +0000

Another MA500 in the books, and it was an awesome week. We started out good with 5 White Marlin Releases fishing in the Tom’s Canyon on Monday. Tuesday brought a 55 yellowfin and several mahi, fishing in the Lindy. Thursday we moved down to the Washington, only to miss a small Blue Marlin. Very nice water in the Tom’s on Monday. Plenty of bait, look at the one image of the fish finder, the image covers the screen !!

Thanks to our guests for the week, Earl Peacock and his Captain from the Keys, Kenny Spalding, awesome fisherman !!

Peter reports a Nice day of fishing, but no bites, he had a big blue marlin chasing dolphin right next to the boat, never came into the spread. Pretty exciting. Lots of bait, many fish seen, not many caught.

Lot’s of bait, nice conditions in the gulf stream, did not see a blue. Had one white marlin up on the teaser, would not take the pitch bait. Lay day on Tuesday. Hope to get on them later in the week.

The Marlin have Arrived!

I had the pleasure of stumbling across a double header of Blue Marlin yesterday while fishing on a 44′ Jarrett Bay with the owner and his son. We lost one fish just before getting spooled and released the other. I am still looking for a team to fish the Big Rock on the Contango! Now is a great time to get in some practice days before the tournament.
