Madiera Marlin & Petroleros!

islandshark633 · 08-19-2009, 09:31 AM

Firstly a big 'Thank you' goes out to Capt. James 'Chuy' Roberts whom I first met at the Miami BS in February. He was all over my lures like a rabid marlin and immediately ordered some to take with him to Madiera in July. That is quite a big chunk of faith right there as he makes his living doing these charters and he had never pulled them before! Also a Thank you goes to the photographer Joe Bennie of Kenya, great job man!

and the lure - Charon 50 BahamaLure (Tube)
