Rick Noonan returned on the 10th and continued to score Sailfish releases.
Here’s the email Rick sent us after his trip:
“Craig,”
“Wanted to say Thank You for putting me together with Fico. Not very chatty but he put me 10 sailfish (8 landed) 1 Blue Marlin (landed) and a baby Wahoo (dinner).”
“My first billfish experience and I was blown away. A Danish buddy joined me on Saturday, zero saltwater fishing experience, as it turned out he got to fight the Marlin (my bucket list fish). Fish of a lifetime for him. That said I will be back to find that Marlin again.”
“Thanks again for a great two days of fishing.”
