June 25, 2021– Patricia raised 25 striped marlin to the teasers and had 7 bites on fly. Terry Carter made some great cast and broke off 4 fish and released 2 on 20# tippet and had another spit the hook.
June 26, 2021– Patricia again fished 0-30 again with Terry Carter. The early bite was on fire with fish everywhere, birds and bait. They raised 14 striped marlin before 10:00 am and had 2 bites on fly by striped marlin with both spiting fly. By 10:30 the man in the blue suite appeared and Terry made a perfect cast to hook a blue marlin about 280#. He went on to fight the fish 5 hours pretty much ending the day with the blue marlin. . After having it close to the boat 5 times the 20# tippet finally broke and Terry wound up very tired.
