Here’s what happened when a major state wildlife agency celebrated a milestone anniversary on April Fools’ Day: the wildlife itself played its own April Fools joke. And it was a great one. …
Billfish Invitational Auction Spotlight – "Bimini Big Gamer" Package
BILLFISH INVITATIONAL AUCTION ITEM: The Bimini Big Gamer
The Big Game Is On at the legendary Bimini Big Game Club, a Guy Harvey Outpost, and this package is a front row seat to all the action. Swanky accommodations. A day of offshore fishing. A day of backcountry fishing. A day of diving. A night of wining and dining and some flying around on your own private plane. You’re in the major leagues now! Enjoy a five night stay in one of the Club’s four penthouse one bedroom suites which give new meaning to phrase “million dollar view”. Each is designed with an individual style – the Hemingway and Lerner suites, side by side, as these two legends were in real life, or Guy Harvey’s personal suite and the adjoining Blue Marlin. Get rested up because every day is “Game Day” at the Big Game Club.
Day 1 – Sunrise…time to suit up and go chase the Man in the Blue Suit! Gear up for some serious blue water angling with the legendary Captain Billy Black, a man who knows these waters like Hemingway knew his mojitos! Enjoy a day with Captain Billy and three of your fishing buddies aboard “El Viejo”, a classic 53 Rybovich fishing machine. The Man in the Blue Suit doesn’t take kindly to amateurs, so make sure you know your stuff, and if not, you’d best follow Captain Billy’s orders. It’s true, fish fear him!
Day 2 – And speaking of orders….bonefish, 2 o’clock, 30 feet, cast, strip, try again. Yes, on Day 2, we’re talking tough love from one of Bonefish Bimini’s expert guides. These guides grew up fishing the flats of Bimini, and their knowledge of local bonefish and permit habits might constitute trade secrets. The skiff accommodates two anglers, but you may not want to share these secrets with anyone!
Day 3 – Time to suit up again…this time in your swimsuit or wet suit, because you and three friends are off for a two tank dive aboard M.V. Bimini Blue with the dive pros of Neal Watson’s Dive Bimini. Wrecks, walls, reefs and the mysterious Atlantis Road – there’s no end to the diving options. Enjoy diving in style aboard the Club’s 60ft double deck, glass bottom boat, complete with men’s and women’s bathrooms, warm water showers, and snack bar with adult beverages on board. During your stay, you’ll be a guest of the Bimini Big Game Bar & Grill, the island’s most popular waterfront restaurant and bar. Enjoy a complimentary dinner for four while overlooking the marina and debating who’s winning the Big Game. We’ll buy you dinner and a nice bottle of wine, but these types of debates go on long into the night, so cocktails are for your account!
When it comes there is no more time on the score clock, and the Big Game draws to a close, regardless of the score everyone’s a winner, for you and your friends are going home in style….just like the way you arrived ! On your very own private Sky Limo Cessna Caravan charter that seats seven – or you alone and a lot of luggage – round trip from Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport. As you climb out over Bimini and look back at Alice Town and the Big Game Club, you know the Big Game will go on, but the Outpost team awaits the return of you, the Bimini Big Gamer! . Donated by the Bimini Big Game Club, “El Viejo” Sportfishing Charters, and Sky Limo Charters.
