Mrs. Mingo fighting some odd type of jack………..





The old tradition at day’s end………..you gotta love bluewater fishing. We landed 14 mahimahi, released many, kept some, got several tuna and small AJs and my wife landed her first marlin. A perfect day with a great guy. Thanks Russ!



After that we had a couple total “chill” days ahead to spend on our favorite beaches…………..



Butterflyfish are beautifull but very hard to hook with that tiny protruding yapper. It is 100% visual. The only thing I could get them to hit was a tiny Miyawake euphasid, better known as a winter searun fly. Believe me, catching these fish is much harder than it looks…..



Amazing…….there’s no law that says you can’t enjoy nature’s beauty with barbless flies heh heh heh………..
