East Cape, Mexico – (Capt. Dave Lear) Team Nautahorse, led by angler Hector Guijarro Tomayo, raced to the finish line on the last day of the 2014 Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore Tournament to win the top purse by a bill. The team’s 323-pound blue marlin caught Friday afternoon swept the marlin category and all three daily jackpots for a $396,705 payout,…
Port Aransas, Texas – Seems like a fish story for sure, except the proof is in the pictures. What we gather from a link we received from a site called 2CoolFishing was that angler Chris Kelley was surf fishing for redfish, when this Swordfish grabbed his redfish. He obviously landed the fish and this is not photoshopped. Per the report,…
July proved to be a good month, but still a little slow when compared to 2013. We don’t want to blame one fishery, but Bermuda was the culprit when comparing 2013 to 2014.
