If you go let us know how you make out! I think they seem good but they are a little pricey.

Good luck man! hope you get to do it.

I have not been to one as I never had enough $ to go. I have, however, fished several times, including tourn's with one of their instructors and good friend of mine, Walker Holcombe. Walker does a lot of the tech's and tip's in the magazine.

If you go, I think you would learn more from Walker in four days then it would take most years to learn on their own which would make it well worth the price of admission.

If your interested, let me know and I can get him on the phone with you to give you his take on it.

A good friend of mine went to Australia with Marlin U. Although he caught his first black marlin, the fishing was really slow due to a hurricane that was not too far away. He still seemed to really enjoy the trip fishing alongside Biggles, "don't let go" Bo, and Jason Holtz.

Very good time, a little pricey.

3 full days of fishing, all evenings are rigging schools.

Mostly Sails , almost jump in the boat.
One day 2 boats went something like 42 for 70.

One day you fish with Peter Wright next day with Dave Ferrell.

That man understands fighting chairs (and the mechanics of reeling in a fish using a chair) better than anyone I have ever met.

Larry you forgot to tell him the alternative... Go to the Bahamas and listen to me grumble and curse my mate for a few days...
