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.

I’ve just finished watching this [Advanced video] – thank you. Was some good information and helping to build some more pieces to this whole game fishing puzzle for me!
