Mag Bay Departure

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS IN TOWN,
EVER SINCE THEY TORE THE JUKEBOX DOWN

WELL, WE'VE BROKEN CAMP IN MAG BAY AFTER A TRUNCATED BUT SUCCESSFUL 7 WEEK STAY. OUR NORMAL YEAR THERE HAS BEEN MORE LIKE 10 WEEKS BUT DUE TO SOME LATE DECISION MAKING AND A BIT OF AN ISSUE WITH BOAT AVAILABILITY THIS YEAR WAS SHORTENED. FISHING IS FISHING AND THIS YEAR THE MARLIN FISHERY WAS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. WE HAD A COUPLE OF 9 HOOKUP DAYS, MANY DOUBLE HOOKUPS AND EVEN A COUPLE OF TRIPLES. THE YELLOWFIN FISHING WASN'T AS GOOD AS WE'VE SEEN IT, WITH MANY OF THE FISH STILL UP NORTH ON THE RIDGE, PERHAPS TO MOVE DOWN LATER, OR MAYBE NOT. AS MENTIONED IN EARLIER POSTS WE WENT TO A LAND BASED OPERATION THIS YEAR, AS OPPOSED TO THE LIVE ABOARD SITUATION OF PAST YEARS. WHILE PERHAPS LIMITING OUR RANGE A LITTLE BY HAVING TO RETURN TO THE ISLAND EVERY NIGHT, THE OFFSETTING COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE FOR OUR GUESTS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN UNIVERSALLY PREFERRED. THE MEALS THAT CHEF BOBO WAS ABLE TO WHIP UP IN A FULL SIZED KITCHEN WERE ONE OF THE REAL HITS OF THE SEASON. MAKING USE OF THE LOCALLY AVAILABLE FISH AND SHELLFISH HE WAS PUMPIN' OUT GOURMET FAIR ON A DAILY BASIS. AS PREDICTED THE ADDITION OF A TRULY GIFTED CAPTAIN IN THE PERSON OF CAPT. JUAN BEJARANO GAVE US AN ENHANCED WEAPON SET, AND THE ONLY COMPLAINT THAT I HEARD WAS THAT THE CUSTOMERS THOUGHT THAT SOME DAYS JUAN AND CHRIS JUST WOULDN'T STOP FISHIN'! WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD THAT COMPLAINT ABOUT A CHARTER OPERATION? THE PHYSICAL SUCCESS OF THIS YEARS' OPERATION ENCOURAGES US TO TRY FOR PERHAPS SOME FISCAL SUCCESS NEXT YEAR, WITH A FULL SEASON. IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN THIS PROGRAM PLEASE CONTACT ME AS WE'RE HOPING THAT THE TV PROGRAMS WE MADE THIS YEAR WILL RESULT IN INCREASED DEMAND FOR NEXT YEAR AND WE DON'T WANT ANY OF YOU OLD TIMERS TO MISS OUT ON THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY, AND KEEP IN TOUCH,
