We are so close to the blue water that sometimes real magic can happen. Consider this report from March 9:

Rick Noonan headed offshore about 10 miles to the deep blue water, and immediately started scoring billfish.

Several nice Sailfish releases were backed up by a feisty Striped Marlin release.

Rather than stay offshore to pursue another Marlin (thus securing the ultra-rare Billfish Grand Slam), Captain Fico headed inshore and scored another trophy: This excellent Rooster fish.

The Explorer continues to amaze!

Kenny Strickler and Charley Smith posted an excellent day of Sailfish releases on March 9 with Captain Alex on the Harvester.

Seems like after each release the mega panga had another fired-up Sailfish in the spread ready for action.

The season is getting good when you see big numbers of Sailfish, especially when they are this energetic.

Great work by Mate Wilson to ensure the safe release of these monsters.

Great things are worth waiting for, and angler Mike Goins sent us some photos from his late February trips that are absolutely mind-blowing. First up is this nice Striped Marlin release from his trip on the 27-foot Explorer:

They he also nearly missed a Grand Slam on the Discoverer with this excellent Striped Marlin release backed up by a Sailfish release.

Great work by this fun-loving fisherman!
