Any reports for Los Suenos Billfish Tournament?

[whitey]

I had to turn down a last-minute invite to fish with them because of some deadlines here at work, so now I'm really bummed to miss it but I'm glad to see them doing well.

Sam, you need to get your priorities straight.

Sam, you need to get your priorities straight.

SAM!? - What the hell are the two of us doing here on-line. I bet ya Jay has a big ole-"I told ya so" coming our way andy

I know, I know. Hopefully y'all will be proud when we release the 2008 Official Guide to Billfishing at the Miami Boat Show though and will understand why I have literally shackled myself to this glowing box in my office for the last two weeks. The sacrifices I make for this sport, I tell ya.

[Captain Rich Adler]

How far is Cabo Blanco from Los Suenos??

[whitey]

Around 45 miles.

Damn - Lots of changes from the noon time report. Of course all these are unofficial but congrats to the local fleet on a sweep. Also congrats guys on Hattaboy on making a big last minute push to move up to 7th place. Ted Smith is a first class guy.

Sounds like it was a great tournament.

Just heard from my friends on the Super Fly--apparently they had the lead based on time, then The Bite calls in a hook-up in the last minute of the tournament so they won by one sail. Congrats also to Cindy Shufflebarger on the Hook in third and Bill Royster, the man behind the entire Los Suenos project, finishing fifth on the After You.
