Cause I said so isn't enough???
Hmmm... Its one of those special places... When it goes off nothing compares. I went 112 for 130 on billfish in 24 days one trip. That mix was 69 blues 32 whites and 11 sails. Another stand out was nailing six blues and two whites in an afternoon only to out do that the next day with eight blues and six whites... Yet another stand out was going 5-16 in a two and a half hour stretch on whites capped off with one easily 130 pounds...
Even if its not red hot on billfish, seldom do we not have a bent rod. Schools of 30-50 pound dolphin with strays running to 70 a quarter mile around turn the purple pocket green. Wahoos some days so thick and fierce you never get a six bait spread out. Grouper and snapper at most any place we work won't let your rig reach bottom. Sails, big kings, ceros, tuna, horse eye jacks, black grouper, mutton snapper and the always present cudas will drill you if you get ten yards inside of your "line". A wall that drops from sixty to several thousand feet in the space of a football field. The proximity of the shallows to the edge makes for quite a sight when a hooked blue makes a wrong turn and you get to watch him in gin clear water swim between the coral heads.
A place where we may catch thirty species or more of fish in a typical five day trip. Back at the dock a couple hundred yard hike one way will give you some prime bone and permit fishing. A couple hundred yards the other way for some top water pluggin can yield all kinds of critters...
Though we don't target them there are grander makos running marlin around like ballyhoo. If you can get past the jaws a good slug of swords can be had. The lay out of the pocket is such that under most any wind condition it just doesn't get rough...Unless its throwing lightning bolts and capcise force gusts its almost always fishable...
Days 1 and 2 my guests are gung ho. Day three they get polite,"You take the next... I just got one" Day four their tone changes... I caught the last one so you take this one!" Day five they look at me like... "are you serious... we're going again?"
Its a place where I donate 200 lures and 300 hooks to the residents of the pocket for each four weeks I fish there...one thousand ballyhoo come over on that same run. None go home and none get washed out... 24 guests have memories to last a life time... I can never get enough...
