FWL GROUP 42 RELEASES, 17 ON FLY
Bud Callahan, Kevin Ferrell, Len and Jeanie Koenemann and host Guy Shoenborne.
Feb23-26th Fishing With Larry group as above also experienced some excellent fishing here. Primarily on the fly we raised 90 sailfish over the 4 days. Some finiky fish out there teasing in well though refusing the fly once the boat was knocked out of gear. The crew did a great job though with some very good averages, the best day going 8 from 11 bites on the fly and 9 from 12 on the baits.
And finished off with a double header of big mahi's.
"A first class top-shelf operation. Chris and his crew, Enio, Julio and Hairon are tip top-they focus continuously and with great energy on getting you on the fish, hooking up and landing fish. The boat and equipment are the best. Comfortable, good lunches on the water and plenty of drinks. At the lodge, the rooms are super clean and comfortable, great AC and showers. The food is excellent, attaining gourmet level. If you want to catch sailfish on the fly-this is the place"
