3-312-10 Walkers Cay

The Reel Candy took 1st place day one and 2nd place day 2 and overall 2nd. Our day 3 was cancelled with bad weather. This was the Azure 8th Annual Invitational, with a bunch of GREAT Guys. Water is still cool, but some real nice wahoo were caught. Here are a couple of pics from our trip back, with Eric as our angler. We ended up with 5 wahoo, and 4 dolphin, before making the run for the states. We have 1 unbooked weekend in April available on the Reel Candy for a 3 day trip to Walkers Cay  if interested.

Bahamas fishing yesterday!

The Reel Candy crew had an awesome day fishing from Marsh Harbour, yesterday. Big Dolphin have arrived with a couple of 60+ pounders and a couple of 40-50's mixed in. Add a white marlin in the mix and a blue, it was a great day. The angler took a dive, he jumped off 2 more whites.

March 2010

Last weeks weather in Stuart Florida, gave us a break to get offshore. Lot's of rays gave us a chance to catch some cobia to 70 lbs. Eric, caught his first cobia, about 30 # off our 26' Reel Candy II. The sailfish capitol has not been producing a lot of sailfish, but plenty of action on dolphin and bonitas. In the Bahamas the Reel Candy crew last week caught 2 white marlin, a blue marlin (saw another) 15 dolphin on Tuesday and 6 on Wednesday, a small yellowfin and several wahoo. We have a full week in Marsh Harbour Abacos, Bahamas, looking forward to hooking some more whites and blue marlin if the weather holds.

We have an opening for a couple of anglers to fish over to Walkers Cay and fish the next day from
Grand Cay. This is for the cost of fuel and mate only on the Reel Candy. (Room, food and flight extra) We are fishing a three day tournament and would like to get some prefishing in. We will leave from Stuart when the weather allows and will assist you with arranging a return flight back to Stuart with Treasure Coast Charters.

Stuart, Florida Sailfish Season

It's been a great season for Sailfish here in Stuart, Florida, however its winding down, with just a few sailfish bites on a daily charter. For a couple of weeks the cobia were here, but now you really have to look for them. Still some good dolphin fishing and plenty of fish offshore for a charter.

Since the Miami Boat Show we have been real busy. With the upcoming marlin season, we have taken a serious look for where we can give our marlin charter clients the best chances for a blue or white marlin. Chance has caught a few whites already while fishing the Abacos in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas, for a few of our friends. The Reel Candy will be fishing a tournament later this month in Walkers Cay, although we will be staying at Rosies in Grand. If you would like to fish the end of March, in the Bahamas, give us a call.

The Reel Candy crew will be in the Abacos, in April and May. The end of May we are heading to Cat Island for a couple of weeks and then fishing our way to St Thomas. We still have Charter days available for this trip. We will be in St Thomas at the Sapphire Resort and Marina for the July and August moons. Please contact us for charter dates.

Looking forward to fishing with you this season!

Sailfish Weekend

The wind blew, and blew some more. However this is Sailfishing in Stuart, Florida, this time of the year. This was the roughest water we have fished this year. The sailfsih bite has slowed some but the bait is still here, so the sails must still be close by. We were able to connect for first time sailfish  for Jack and Cindy, from Missouri and again yesterday for Scott and Renee our friends from the Bahamas, who now live in North Carolina. Candy even caught a nice sail yesterday and got completely soaked on the backdown. Now we are off this week to the Miami Boat Show. We are there with Stingray Tackle and Outfitters and Marlin University. Stop by and see us! The Reel Candy will be back getting lines wet The 17th.
