Well I am home after another huge year traveling the world chasing marlin in exotic destinations!!! It was great to be back on the TRADITION after an incredible 6 months on the AMBUSH, starting in Panama, and then the full season in the Dominican Republic and a bit of time in Puerto Rico as well.

We are on our way too Cairns for what will be my 9th season running the TRADITION, and my 18th or 19th Cairns season. A trip to the boat yard this year, mostly just some mechanical chores and lots of varnish for the this year and the boat is looking fantastic for the season. We […]

We started fishing in glorious weather, but a big high pressure system moved in […]
