We fished the tourney too. Didn't do to great over all. Although, we had a White around 1200-1500 about 14ft long, come to the boat. Amazing fish tried to get it to stay around. Had no interest in bluefish, I gues only mammals. I suggested we throw the smallest guy in to see if it would eat until I ...

I knew Bob too. A great guy. I know after his daughter passed things got tough for him. Very hard thing to deal with....but one of the best lure makers ever. I believed he had family up here in Forked River, NJ. NOt, sure if he came this way or not.

Check which covers your area better. I use Tow Boat US. We have both Sea tow and boat us. But, it is 15 miles farther for sea tow to get to the inlet and boat US is in the first marina just inside the inlet which is the marina next to mine.

I would obviously recommend Golfito, Costa Rica because I have a charter boat there. But, other really nice places are Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas; Mayaquez, Puerto Rico; Cabo San Lucas, Mex. and St. Johns, USVI. All these places have in common that the fishing is great all year long, there are ways t...

Better with pics but I would say over 125,000 in a normal market but this market is really tough. It depends how bad you need to sell it. My advice would to wait until the market recovers and get what it is really worth!
