The June Moon is wrapping up, but not because the fish quit biting! Fishing a half day on what we call the airport run - Mojito was 1/2+2 and typical Sam of Revenge went 1/2+1 on the way to the plane. The steady picking Therapy crew were 1/2 and 1/1 on whites, Marlin Prince 1/1 and Hoosier Buddy went 0/2 on blues and 0/1 on whites. The best story of the day came from visiting Puerto Rican boat Victoria going 3/3 and 12 year-old Carlos Enrique Franco (his friends call him Calique) catching his his first blue marlin! Today's report includes the blue marlin catches of an 84 year old and a 12 year-old! It will be year 2083 when Carlos reaches Sam's age!! Photo right: Mojito's Jose Valdes Jr. or "Pico" reaches milestone of 300th blue marlin. Congratulations to all on a great June Moon!

Revenge came in next going 5/6 (Jon 3 and Sam 2), Prime Time PR 4/5+1 and 0/1+1 on whites and Capt. Red Bailey's Abigail III was 4/5.

Marlin Prince was 0/1, Black Gold 1/2+1 and Jose on Mojito was 2/5. Black Pearl was 1/? and that concludes today's North Drop report!
