Testimonials From Our Anglers

Spot on again Sam. I fished that break off the Cavallis this morning. Had a pack attack of striped marlin resulting in a double hook up. After that just put one lure out and hooked another one. Skippies are stacked up against it.

That’s been the hottest spot for the last 2 days.
