The Adventures In Fishing production crew recently returned from Iztapa, Guatemala. The crew fished out of one of the best 5 star resort's in Guatemala, Pacific Fins Resort and Marina on board two of the resort's 5 boat fleet, the "Hooked Up" and "Perla Del Mar". We fished with the resort's owner, Niels Erichsen and his 11 yr old son, Ian. Ian is a fantastic angler and I was glad to see Niels has his son involved in sportfishing. The captains and crews were so helpful. 15 sailfish were landed along with 1 huge Dorada. I went overboard and shot some great underwater footage of sailfish and we shot footage of active volcanoes and local interesting aspects of Guatemalan culture as well. Viewers will love this episode of Adventures In Fishing
A fantastic Sailfish show was produced from the Los Sueno Marina in Costa Rica on board, The Kiddo, with Capt. Daniel Ruiz. The Kiddo's owner, Brad Weston, had said the sailfishing was excellent this time of year and he was not telling fish stories. We stayed at The Best Western Jaco Beach Resort. The Kiddo is definitely the boat to charter while fishing in Costa Rica.
The Shinnecock Marlin and Tuna Club and Molnar's Landing combined their tournaments for the 2009 Inshore Rodeo. A 208.5 lb Mako caught by Lanny Molnar and a 393 lb Thresher caught on Team Josie were the big fish in this tournament. More importantly, the tournament raised alot of money for The Genesis Programs for autistic children. This will be a great episode.
We filmed an excellent episode of Adventures In Fishing in Biloxi, Mississippi with Capt. Lenny Maiolates of Fighting Chicken Sportfishing 70 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico attached to Oil Rigs. Loads of HUGE Amber Jack, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, King Mackerel, and Bull Sharks were caught. We had great accomodations at the Isle of Capri Casino Resort and even won some money in the casino.
The Hampton's Offshore Invitational Tournament in Hampton Bays, NY was filmed in 2008. The anglers caught everything from Blue Marlin, Mako Sharks, Tuna, Mahi-mahi, and Bluefish. More importantly, the tournament raised over $125,000 for Big Brothers Big Sister of Long Island. Capt. Scott Horowitz and the SMTC have to be commended for the outstanding job they do with this tournament.
In April, the Adventures In Fishing production team produced an excellent King Mackerel show off Jupiter, FL with Capt. Joe Mazzarella of Bee Fishing Charters. Viewers will learn how to catch live bait and then see one King Mackerel after another being caught. Once the bite started it did not stop. The filming continued until it became dark. Capt. Joe fished with his friend, Ed and Ed's son, Josh and Jean Eastman, a local artist from Ft. Lauderdale. Capt. Joe is one of the best charter captains in South Florida.
Adventures In Fishing recently filmed a great captain doing a great service. His name is Capt. Kip Johannesen. Capt. Kip takes out disabled veterans, disabled adults and disabled children fishing aboard his 34' Mainship "Valhalla". And guess what...he takes them out for FREE. Capt. Ray and his cameraman, Al Milian, were very impressed with Capt. Kip and his volunteer mates, Christine and Terry and we know our viewers will be also.
The Adventures In Fishing Production Team recently filmed The 13th Annual Riverhead Moose Fluke Tournament in Riverhead, NY. The show features Brendan Dickson winning the tournament. with an 4 lb 9 oz Fluke. In 2009, the tournament raised Three Thousand One Hundred ($3100.00) dollars for the Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center which assists abused children
Another episode was produced during The Annual Molnar's Landing Lazy Bones Fluke Shootout out of Molnar's Landing in Hampton Bays. Lanny Molnar always has a great tournament with loads of fluke being caught. The winner won over $6,000.00 dollars.
The production team traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and produced a fantastic show on board, El Budster, with Jim Dillon, Capt. Salvador O'campo and First Mate Manuel Jiminez. During the filming a Striped Marlin, two Rooster Fish and a Yellowtail were caught. It should also be noted that Jim caught a world record 90 lb. Dorado last year! The El Budster is the boat to book when fishing in Cabo San Lucas!
Adventures In Fishing produced an excellent show out The Bear Track Inn in Gustavus, Alaska with Capt. Josh Cosby of Black Rock Charters. Capt. Ray,
Chris Kelly, Mark Wascher and Tanya Tate caught giant Halibut in the 100-175 lb range. The next day, the group caught rockfish in all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, the fishing is unbelievable in Alaska. All anglers have to experience Alaska fishing at least once in their lifetime.
