I don't read the words, I just check the PICS

I wasn't gonna write anything, but look at that picture of Donnie on the beach, kneeling next to a couple of large dorado, look at that face! If you were a fish wouldn't you want him to catch you? David

You Need Wait No Longer

I've been touting the near future for a few weeks here, and if the last couple of days is a good indicator, then the future is here! We've been pluggin' dorado for the last couple of days, a lot of them, and big ones. Where 1/3 of the boats catching one or two dorado in the 30's was the norm 3 weeks ago, all the boats that went outside yesterday and today caught dorado, and some big mamas! We're running an in house tournament this month, to benefit the schools in Los Planos. The biggest fish each day, by weight, goes into the books and at the end of the month the winner gets 2 each 4 night/3 day fishing packages. Well the bar was set pretty darn high today by one Bill Brill. Old Double B had here to fore never caught a dorado over 20 pounds. His first today was at 50 and he was a proud puppy, until the big one came along. 64 pounds, on the scale. That is a Beeg 1, Senor. While there are 12 days let this month, that fish will be hard to beat. Along with dorado have come our first blue marlin hookups of the year (a sure sign of rapidly warming water) with a couple 2 days ago, and 4 today. It's getting' pretty darn busy fishwise. Dog snapper, wahoo, even a couple of small (5lb.) yellow fin today, which promptly turned into marlin bait in the time honored tradition of shinnying up the food chain. Good stuff, a lot of really nice people. I don't want to pound this nail too often but when you've got guys like Sr. Hall and his band of reprobates, Bill V. and old boys from Oceanside, and the Earl Salter Brigade, along with fishing like this, and good weather, it's hard not to smile, even at 3am.
