Today's report (07 June) from Capt. Flash Clark, aboard the Relentless:
"Greetings from Rum Cay,
The past week has seen a very strong showing by the blue marlin. Over the past 8 days fishing we have raised 19 marlin and have met with mixed results.
Joe Hurwitz , Ed Curtis, Steven Curtis, Brian "Cuda Boy Willey, Henry Hurwitz and Tom Terril just finished fishing 3 days with us and had great fishing. Every day we caught mahi mahi, big yellowfin tunas and the occaisional wahoo. But the story is blue marlin. Yesterday after the lines were in the water for 10 minutes we raised a double header of blue marlin and hooked up to one well over 500lbs. and while we were involved clearing the lines we had a second marlin in excess of 400lbs. pulling on the teaser. The big marlin we hooked proceded to put on a great show quickly taking over 400 yards of line before coming off. Bad luck. Additionally we released a blue marlin for first timer Steven Curtis and finished the trip on a high note.
It appears that the big blue marlin have moved in to the Rum Cay area and are here in good numbers. The Relentless has been fortunate to raise an average of 3 marlin per day. But not to be left out the tunas and mahi mahi have been steady and have provided lots of action for our anglers."
