Pic of the Week

 

 

Oh what fun it is...  There's a downside to having a tackle shop, but if you like fishing then the pluses do add up.  In this case, it's another shot at Guadalupe Island Mexico aboard one of the best Long Range boats and crews, fishing the Royal Polaris.  What an upgrade of crew since the last time I was on this boat.  Roy Rose is always a great guy to fish with, now has a superb team, with additions of Mike and Capt. Jeff DuBuys (the man that made the Inde one of the better LR boats...). I have not fished with Jeff in over 15 years, since back when he was on the Rooster.  Very nice to spend time with him and the whole crew. This is one strong and experienced team, and it showed.  Great time on the water, very professional.  How was the fishing?  Well, what a difference a few weeks makes. We had NO shark problems this time out, lost only one fish and that was on our last day fishing the island.  No big 100 pound plus fish, these were nice size schoolies ranging from 40 to 70 lbs.  Great size to pull on, and for our group it was a great time with pretty consistent action all thru the days.  The kite worked great, almost 100% hook up rate. Heck, one day we went thru almost 3 rotations, 90 chances for anglers to score on the kite.  May not have been a guarantee catch, but it was a guarantee pull!  This video is much longer than it probably should be. But for someone thinking about taking the plunge into LR fishing, the vid may help convince you to get your butt on a boat.   - Mark

p.s. Next trip for me...8 days on the Rooster, Alijos Rocks and the Ridge calls...

pps, did a little update 10/14 to the vid, better resolution, more talk...same tunes!

You are not billed at that time, the confirming email may not reflect oversize or overweight charges or other issues requiring direct contact. We process orders manually, preferring to have a human actually check things over and contact you should there be questions. Within 24 hours of placing your order you will receive a follow-up email confirmation and final  invoice (pdf doc) reflecting your total charges (Monday-Friday). You are not billed until we actually send you your final invoice.  Orders shipped to CA addresses will have California Sales Taxes applied, out of state orders are tax free. During the ordering process you can select expedited shipping if required. (Within the USA we usually ship via Federal Express ground. International, and oversize/weight items will be billed for shipping and you will be sent an emailed invoice reflecting total charges prior to actual billing. We will not ship without you having had a chance to review the invoice). Hawaii and Alaska shipping will be accomplished using USPS Priority service, and our standard shipping cost policy will apply unless the item ordered does not fit in their standard size boxes. If additional shipping fees are required we will contact you.)
