WHAT GUESTS WERE CATCHING:

BONEFISH (Macabi): The bonefishing was no surprise with boats landing as many as 25 fish. Each day out. Barry, Jim. Bill, Buddy had their way with the bonefish although their true passion was permit. Long time guests, Scott, Gina & John (first bonefish ever honors for Gina this trip!) all had a blast, Lon and Jan returned again this year with Jan tanning like a champ on the boat and by the pool and Lon handling most of the fishing duties, Norm and Beth's 18th visit to EL Pescador was an honor for us� somehow the permit and tarpon did not get the memo to play fair with them! Jim, Carey, Jeff, Brian, John and Dana, Jim and Cameron, Ron and Sheri, Ann and Roger, JC and Bri, Evelyn and Bruce, Nancy and Chip, Willie and Jenn, Warner and Christine (father daughter team) Duff and Donald ( father and son) all enjoyed the prolific bonefishing we have on and near the island.

PERMIT (Palometta): Poor John had more permit eat this week than just about anybody, but none came to the boat. They cut off, the spit, they broke - but the bottom line is he did the hard part, he fed them! Buddy, Bill, Jim and Barry came down to El Pescador on a mission, they all wanted permit and that they did! At least 2 permit each went to the 4 friends! Returning guest, Vito go a permit pretty early on in his trip!

TARPON (Sabalo): Scott jumped some tarpon, Barry, and Bill landed some and had a soft slam for the week as well! Donald got a beautify 25 pound tarpon and the happiness was apparent to all!

OTHER SPECIES: 2 species of jacks, 3 kinds of snappers, snook, barracudas, and lots more!

GRAND SLAM: Week Slams belong to Barry and Bill!
