Marlin U

[tolbard]

2009 was a tough year for me so I said what the Hell and off I went to Costa Rica to attended the first Marlin University of 2010 held at the Guanamar Resort in Costa Rica. This was a great set up. We fished 4 day's each day on a different boat with a different capt and crew.

Day 1 Fished on the Dream Raiser (35 Cabo) with capt. Danny went 12-24 with on Trippe header to finish the day.This day Charles Perry was our instructor.

Day 2 on the Bushwacker with Capt Skeet. (42 Bertram) Went 10-15 in some rough seas 5'-7' Had Peter Wright as our instructor.

Day 3 found us on the Abracadabra with capt. Rocky Finished the day 18-24 with Dave Ferrell screaming at us.

Last day we fished the Capulo ( 36 topaz) went 2-3 But the wild man Walker Holcomb made the day fun. I think walker and I are related somehow.

This trip was well worth the money.

The knowledge I was exposed to was unbelievable. This was truly a trip of a life time. Will try to post some Pics when I can.

"I think walker and I are related somehow."

Tolbard, Walker called me last Sun nite when he got back and told me he meet someone from my area that acted just like me. I've fished with him over the past 6 years. Were do you fish out of.

Mostly out of chinco in the summer . I really liked Walker . He is a trip.

Out of curiosity....forgetting about the great fishing that it sounds like you had....since you had several days in a row on different types of boats....which one did you think the most of overall?

Each boat had it own thing going on. I liked the 35 Cabo the best she was quick and very nimble, the express laout suites me the best. One of my fellow classmates ( a charter capt from NC) "said he would rather have a sister in a wore house than a brother with A Bertram".The big express's were nice but for me it's a little much.

Sorry I put the picts in the wrong post. I spent all my time in the pit and got very few picts. I will post more as I can
