All good things must come to an end. Today saw the first day of the Bermuda Billfish Classic and my last day on the water with the Click Through crew. Click Through took the day prize, is in the lead for the Billfish Classic, and now is right on the transom of Que Mas for the whole Bermuda Triple Crown. Three blue marlin released in a single day is a great day's fishing for one boat in anyone's book. My hat's off to a top class owner and crew. The weather wasn't as cooperative with pouring rain and 4' to 6' seas. Not a good day for photography except for a few parade shots from this morning.
Tomorrow I board a plane back to Morehead City after a fantastic week. Keith and Josie English have been incredible hosts. The crew of Captain Matt Mauldwin, mates Courtney Stanley and Rustan Rood were top notch. Asking a world class crew to "fish" with no hooks for a few days so I could get some pix was a tall order. Needless to say it was all smiles the day the hooks went back into the lures. Highlights this week were of course jumping into the path of high speed lures and coming face to face with hunting white marlin as they exploded out of the cloud of cavitation. These were starting steps toward the blue shot, but showing a lot of promise.
I bid farewell to beautiful Bermuda as I make plans for my next adventure chasing blues with the same crew in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands in just a few months.
