Dave’s First Sailfish
Jan 25
Dave Milligan’s first sailfish caught off Isla Mujeres, Mexico on the Contango!
We stopped to fish off Palm Beach, FL on our way to Isla Mujeres, Mexico, this is some underwater video of a sailfish hitting the dredge and then some fighting action. Check back for more updates from Mexico soon.
Contango fished the Wilmington Canyon, Saturday July 23rd, 2011. Conditions were sporty in the morning, but we ended up with three white marlin for the day. The real highlight though was having Brady Lybarger onboard along with his “dredge cam”. He got this awesome underwater footage of yellowfin tuna and white marlin chasing the dredge and even jumped in for one of our white releases.
Day 5 Big Rock
Jun 13
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.
4th day, one white marlin released at 12:12. We will fish again on Friday.
We took a lay day on Tuesday and Weds, fishing the balance of the week. Hope to run across the right fish. With most of the fleet fishing early, we should get one day out there with a small amount of boats.
Big Rock Next !!
Jun 4
Contango will start fishing hard this Saturday with the Ladies Charity Tournament. Team Contango Mangos will be fishing the ladies tourney on Sat. Moving onto the Big Rock starting Monday. Stay tuned for reports. After Big Rock, we head up the beach to Hatteras Marlin Club for a week of fishing the annual club tournament. We still have dates open in July, and the last week of August out of Ocean City, Maryland. Looks like Pirates Cove Tournament is open right now in August, with some interest.
We are booked to fish WMO and MA500, but plan to fish out of Sunset Marina in Ocean City late August and Sept to catch the better fishing. Check in from time to time.
Contango !!
We’re proud to debut the web site just in time for the summer tournament season and hope you enjoy the site. Please feel free to leave a comment or question if you’re having trouble finding anything. We hope the site not only effectively communicates information about the Contango and charter opportunities, but can become a fun tool for interacting with current and past customers! If you’ve recently gotten back from a charter on the Contango – send us some photos – we’d love to share them on the site!
The Marlin have Arrived!
Apr 29
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.
