St. Thomas report

[Legend]

We just arrived in St. Thomas several days ago from Cap Cana, Dominican Republic and the bite was great the last moon. Everyone is in agreement that the June moon exceeded expectations and that things are shaping up for a stellar blue marlin bite this year. several boats recorded multiple blue marlin releases per day and the "Revenge" with Mike Lemmon as captain released 12 blues in 8 days.

My boat, the "Loaner" is here and ready. We start up a 7 day stretch beginning June 30th thru July 6th and are looking forward to a great bite. I'm also looking to fill in the rest of the July moon, the 7th-17th are available and are prime dates. Additionally at this writing I have August 3rd-31st open and all of the September moon. The Boy Scout tournament is available too, August 3,4,5,7.

It's going off right now!!!

Capt. Flash Clark on the "Loaner" says:

"They are biting! We did well, released one over 500 and 5 more between 250-450lbs. The "Rude Awaking" caught 5 today and there are lots of flags flying at night. Still looking. It's shaping up to be a red hot August moon. Until later

The bite is still HOT!!

Capt Rick Ogle master of the Mr. B II (57 Dean Johnson) had a great weekend:

"On Friday, 10 July our anglers raised three blues, hooked two and released one;

On Saturday, 11 July our anglers raised five blues, hooked four and released two"

My good friend, Capt. Flash Clark on the Loaner has the following report:
"The bite is on! And strong. 9 days before the full and everyone fishing yesterday raised 2-6 depending on the boat. We start Friday and fish thru the 7th but I'm open for the backside of the full moon. Still. So any clients you have that are looking, if the backside of this moon is anything like the last moon it's going to be and August moon to remember.

Your captain

Greetings from St. Thomas and Loaner Sportfishing

It has been quite some time since I last sent a fishing report out and a lot has been going on. I have switched boats and I'm currently running a 60' Bertram called the Loaner and we are currently based in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

We have been running charters since June and to describe the fishing in one word: Fantastic! The bite this year is as good as it gets and we have been fortunate enough to be included. Our last trip we went 5 for 8 and this was indicative of the fleet in general. But the last 10 days have seen a dramatic increase in the bite. One boat 3 days ago went 3 for 5 and released an estimated 900+lb marlin.

The September moon, on the 4th, is shaping up to be a great bite and all indications are this will be a moon to be remembered. I have great dates still available for this moon and I'm sending out this email "fishing" for some bookings. Accomodations are great and close to the marina and are reasonably priced. So anyone looking to catch the great bite please contact me and let me know how I may be of service. Until later

This weekend 4 boats raised 50+ marlin! Our boat, the Loaner went 6 for 9. Tomorrow we're out for 3 days, maybe more.

These past few days we kicked butt. We went 6 for 8, 3 for 5, 2 for 4 and today we went 1 for 4 and had 2 eaten by the sharks and we came in at 1pm.
