    Wow, Christmas fishing has been awesome! We went out today and boated a nice Marlin and three sailfish. We also had another of those crazy customers who jumped in a swam with the Marlin before we released it, it was an awesome time! This week has been really good for the Marlin, we've had 3 in the last four trips, two blacks and this striped, and every week seems to get busier! We have been spending tons of money on the boat, so it's hard to safe if that's paying off or there are just a ton of Marlin in the area, but either way, we'll take it! Check out the awesome photos the customer just sent in!

    Your customers have big smiles. Money spent on the boat has paid off.

    That is exactly what I keep trying to tell the wife!!! :p

    It's not too often the guys want to go in. This guy had been on my site a bunch and that was the first thing he said when he got on the boat was that he was ready to swim. The first fish that came out was the marlin, and he had his shirt off the second we grabbed the bill!
