JD,

I heading to Guam for my next job assignment!! Is the fishing good there during the months of October, November, or January?

Damon, the Mahi start coming back, the Wahoo are large, as well as the Yellow Fin, and the Bill Fish are always around. The challenge is the weather closer to January, so half day trips around Guam is fine, to rough to head to the banks, but there are lucky days! Make sure you get days off and call me 671-483-7247 for fishing!

We had an wonderful weekend! Waiting for the pictures to post! Although we did not place, we hooked and landed a fifty pound beautiful sail fish which made the Machalek (Wild in Chamorro language, Guam's Local people) very proud on the first day. Waters were clam enough we bottom fish for three hours. The second day's wheather was rough, let me tell Shamrock is an outstanding ride, following seas, washing machine conditions, 2-4 ft swells, very very happy with her performance. Gas consumption per hour is less than four gallons an hour. I Justed started using mobil 1 and she has improved I feel very confident being out there 30- 40 miles out, first day 14 hours, second day 13 hours. Over a dozen Marlins were landed. We had the banquet last night and it's amaizing being around so many fisherman. The Derby is held when it's the hardest to fish.

Final Winnings! Marlin 354lbs, Yellon Fin 23.8 lbs, Wahoo - 30 lbs, Mahi - 13lbs, Bonita - 18.5lbs.
