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!
