News and Fishing Reports

Life is good at 17 degrees 30 minutes north.  The weather has been perfect.  There has been just enough wind over the last few days to keep the anglers cool and the fish comfortable.  The clouds have been small and sparse creating excellent fish spotting light.  As result there have been a number of angler's raising the rum.

Taking a break from "the blood in the streets" that is the current status of the financial markets, Dirk from NYC has been getting some business done on the heartless predators of the flats catching a 25lb Barracuda, providing the staff at Turneffe a delicious dinner.

In addition, a number of bonefish have been caught the last two days.  Yesterday was day for the ladies, with our own Millie Paini catching good numbers out of the boat, and Dirk's wife Betsy landing her first ever bonefishes wading the outer flats.  Today began with Charlie Herbek bringing a 4 pounder to hand, and tonight, I am raising a Pantie Rippa in celebration of my guides Dion and Pops guiding me into 2 permit in 2 days.
