After a break from travelling and hanging at the dock in Puerto Rico, with a few weekend trips here and there, we start up our summer blue marlin season tomorrow in St Thomas and the British Virgin Islands. The fishing in the Dominican Republic has been very good the last few weeks, and hopefully a […]

St Vincent, Windward Islands , Caribbean Yes, I am a long way from the GBR!!! We have been doing lots of traveling on the “Ambush” and the “Olga” the last 5 weeks. The boats have done almost 1000nm, and visited lots of countries, from our base in Puerto Rico, and around most of the islands […]

Another month and a completely different hemisphere and ocean all together!!! I was fortunate to have the Tradition back home at the Gold Coast City Marina, where she spends the off season, a couple of days before Christmas. We fortunately missed the January storms around Brisbane that took so many lives, and then followed up […]

Wow, has it been a month since my last update? After finishing our trip with Steve and Catherine on a high with 2 really big fish, we couldnt wait to get back out for another trip, this time with Dave and his friends from Canberra. This was Daves second trip to the reef this year, […]

Wayne and the boys joined us from Melbourne for a few days away from work. With things a bit slow on the Bank, we headed out wide looking for the tuna aggregation, but alas they were not where they were supposed to be and had been swallowed up by a big edge of green water, […]

The BIG FISH are here!!!! We finished our trip with Ash and the boys with 2 more 300 lb fish. Eduardo, Manuel and Elias joined us in Cooktown all the way from the Dominican Republic, a place I have fished and love for blue marlin. Our normal nice November weather has not shown up yet, […]

I have been slack, and not updated here for a couple of weeks, as we have been super busy with our wonderful clients. We started with Sean and Jay for 3 days out at Linden Bank, and saw a fish each day, but they didnt stay on long enough for us to get the leader, […]
