March 17th 2008 

Greetings from Australia:
    Today Hugh, Craig, Dick and I fished our 5th day aboard Calypso with Captain Tim Dean and Mates Dave and Tink. We had a mechanical problem which brought us back to the dock early so we could repair Calypso and get down to catching Marlin tomorrow. We did raise a Black Marlin today however it faded away without giving us the opportunity to cast the fly to the Marlin. As of now after 5 days at "The Marlin School" aboard "Calypso" here in Port Stephens Australia, we have raised 7 Striped Marlin, 2 Black Marlin, and a Blue Marlin. Only four of the Striped Marlin would tease in and ate the fly, of which we caught and released 3 for a 75 percent catch to bite ratio, (Not a bad Average)!

While I am here fishing in Australia the Galapagos has turned on for the Striped Marlin, I will be heading down there for a Marlin School on April 7th, there is still room fro someone to join me for some great Fly Fishing fro Striped Marlin. Let me know if you can join me? Below is a report I just received from Galapagos!

    After a great Salinas season off the coast of Ecuador.  The rains came down pushing the marlin to the Galapagos Islands.  January and February though not shabby average raising 12 stripes a day, March came in with lots of bait, feeding frenzies of birds and marlin tailing and balling bait.  The Perez group out of Tampa, FL got to see this first hand what marlin action is all about.  Their first day starting extremely slow raising a marlin a piece per their three boats, turned into a chaotic mess shortly after 1:30 p.m.  The captains found mile long bait balls, with feeding frenzies exploding with birds and tailing marlin.  In a short 4 hour the three boats had raised over a hundred marlin, releasing 31 stripes and 2 blues.  The 3 per boat angler group out of Tampa, FL had more screaming reels than they ever could have imagined. Speaking of Imaging, this is only their first day!
