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.

MA500 Wrap Up and Photos
Aug 23
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 !!
