Fish Catching Travel
Well the weather and the tree have combined to keep me off the water the last couple of days. I waited around until the tree guy got here in the afternoon to give me an estimate. We agreed and he said he might get at it the next day. I was going to hit the water when the storms came through again. So Saturday I waited for him and again around noon the weather came again, so I called off another afternoon trip. But I am not complaining, we badly need the rain and if it costs me a couple of days of fishing so be it.
So today I am sitting down to re-organize Fish Catching Travel. I want make it more user friendly. Hopefully it will not be to big a project, but I am sure it will take a while. But as I do it I will keep fishing and reporting. So stay tuned.
Congratulations to the winning team at Poco Bueno. Nothing like a 500+ marlin, and a few hundred thousand dollars, to make your day. Interestingly last year their boat apparently sunk to the bottom. So in terms of a comeback that should rank up there with the all time great ones. Marlin fishing is one expensive endeavor and I am sure the money came in handy, and I am sure there may be a couple of hangovers out there this morning.
I am starting to get pretty excited about our trip to Turkey and Greece which is coming up in the next 6 weeks. In spite of the unrest in Istanbul we decided to not change our plans. I am really looking forward to the island we are going to in Greece, Crete. We will be staying in a fishing town on the coast. There are many fish places on the waterfront which should allow me to find out the times the fishing boats are coming in with their catch. Last time I was there I saw a swordfish being brought to the market, this time I will actually be at the docks. Should be cool.
So thanks for reading my stuff. Rain is leaving our forecast so I will be making up for lost time on the water this week. Not having to fish any particular day it seems like it is easier to not go with a chance of rain. I must be getting old. So keep stopping in.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
