Default Bahamas Bound

At 6AM in the morning! Going to Marsh Harbor and then a ferry to Elbow Cay in Abaco. Be there 8 days, no cell phones, no computer, no wives, just the guys fishing offshore every day the weather allows...I'm ready, its been a long cool winter/spring! I will report when I return..
Regards,

Good luck! I'll be right behind you leaving on the 17th and returning from marsh harbour on the 26th. The guy I'm going with asked if I minded staying an extra 2 days...I think I can manage. Lures ordered, tying witches as we speak...I'm jacked. Hopefully I'll get in touch with you before I leave since will be using my gps, rods...and well everything else- need a couple tips. It will be cool to see the tagnstick in marsh harbour.
Don't know if you've seen but the full moon is on the 17th too. I'll call you tonight.

-Alex

You guys have a blast. One of the best trips of my life was to the Abacos. Great bonefishing by the way if it is too windy to get offshore.

We'll see how the ole green lantern produces down there that's for sure...the dolphin love this thing for some reason.

Fred- I'll be on a 30' cc and not a 54' Blackwell like Dave so I feel like weather may be a little more of factor hah. I've heard the bonefishing is decent and will certainly give it a try if mother nature doesn't cooperate. I've never done it before either! I really want to go hunting for blues though...

Got back to Richmond Sunday AM. Had a great trip. I fished offshore the last 5 days out of the 10 that the boat fished. Boat totals for the 10 days were 8 Billfish, 1 wahoo, many toothy Barracuda, and many, many gaffer dolphin up to 40 #. All the billfish were tagged and released and 20 dolphin were tagged and released (all the tags we had). Ate lots of dolphin cooked about every way possilble and drank too many exotic rum drinks (still grumpy stomach). We got some good pictures and will post soon. I missed Tuna Teasor as we were out/in same day, but the weather looks good for him this week...
Regards,
