Since leaving Stuart in February for San Salvador the Reel Candy team fished the Bahama Island chain experiencing some of the best offshore fishing available on rod and reel. WAHOO, MAHI, MARLIN February and March we caught wahoo from Chub Cay to San Sal. San Sal again proved that monster wahoo cruise the waters around the island. The Reel Candy then fished an Invitational tournament in Crooked Island, Samana, Rum and back to San Sal. We took 2nd place with a couple blue marlin (5-4-6 in 5 days), several dolphin, lots of yellowfin tuna, with a couple over 60 pounds. We fished the Invitational Azur International in Bimini and took 1st in this fun tournament. We were back to Cat Island, seeing several blues, then onto Harbour Island for some downtime. Candy joined us and we headed for Marsh Harbour. Although the bite, was tapering off by the time we got there, we were able to see and catch a few blues, for first time anglers.
From Marsh we were off to Treasure, where we caught Perry his blue marlin on his 20th wedding anniversary. Treasure Cay, Bahamas is always one of our favorite places to visit. Patrick Fetsch, the GM at Treasure does an excellent job providing a "home away from home". We finished our season in Grand Cay, fishing with Craig and Joe. It was fun to just lay back for a while and catch yellowtails, sharks, grouper, and muttons. After the storm "Brett" we set course with the Reel Candy for a short run to West End, Old Bahama Bay, for those always refreshing rumrunners. Waking up the next morning to flat mirror like seas, we were off to Jupiter. Looks like swording fishing is in the forecast the rest of August with some open dates available. We booked a couple charters on the t/t Reel Candy 26', catching bonitas, mahi, and a sail or two. Give us a call, or stop by and "Lets Go Fishing" for a couple hours. posted by marvin@reelcandyfishing.com
