Water Level:  Water levels were terrific on our first week with some awesome fishing! 

Baits Used:     Lures of choice for this trip were Woodchoppers, High Rollers and Jigs.

Owner/Operator, David McCarthy attended this trip.  He commented on the excellent water conditions and the fish were staging themselves into the primary and secondary points leading into the lagoons and off the main channels.  Regarding the yacht and overall trip, everyone had a good time!  David and some helpful friends and customers, helped bring the goodies over for the Chef to whip up a great addition to breakfast and everyone enjoyed their pancakes and goodies.  We will now have homemade tortillas to load fresh fish into as the kitchen staff is really at its best this year!  (mmmm).
