Gillanders group landed 13
SAILFISH in one day and had another 6 hook-ups.
Captain Miguel tried a
few days with big live bait for Marlin but was not
successful. The
arrival of the larger Yellowfin Tuna is a good
indication that the big
marlin are not far behind. There are still some
great boats and dates
available for the Tuna and Marlin run in March
