Epic trips 23 Dec 2010 to 17 January 2011
What a wicked Xmas and New Years!!! Lots of day trips where everyone slayed big fish, the spearos are reporting seeing 1000 fish schools under the water and what we are seeing on the sounder looks pretty wild as well, the fishing has been going off the richter. A few kept each day and we're releasing hundreds each week to ensure it stays that way!
The old girl is in her last month before we replace her with a new boat and she has done us proud with so many more big fish coming over the rails.
The Hanlon Plumbing boys has a blast, we kicked things off with some awesome shallow water action
This Duel stickbait was just getting nailed!!
