97th Dark of the Moon
October 28-November 2, 2010
We arrived in the East Cape, hoping to equal or even surpass the group’s Tuna count of 136 in last June’s 96th Dark of the Moon event. We were in for some big surprises as we headed out the first morning.

Sun up!

The first day of the tournament proved to be challenging as we experienced unusual winds from the East and swell from 4-6 ft. to the occasional 6-8 ft swell. By day 2, however, the seas were back to normal with no wind and relatively flat seas. Air conditioning was not needed day or night and the evenings were very pleasant.

The highlight of my trip anyway was the 451 lb. Blue Marlin I caught on Day 1. I was fishing with Roland Martines of Alta Loma, California.
