Bimini – day two on the water was as much of a Big Game as it was a Billfish Tournament. Six billfish were hooked and almost every boat saw fish for the second day in a row. Also, two boats came in with amazing stories of swimming with whales.
<a title="Guy Harvey Inc. web site" href="http://www.guyharvey.com" target="_blank">Guy Harvey</a> spent the day riding with Tedd and Tammy Amberg on the Hillary Lynn where they had a front row seat watching an aerial display of a blue marlin on the vessel Southside, which was fishing nearby.
Three of the fish hooked were reported over 500 pounds and two of blues on the line were in the 200-300 pounds. Also seen were a tailing white marlin and several free jumping billfish.
“It’s been a good run of nice sized fish,” said Tournament Director Ned Stone, “and we’ve had good fishing. Of course, there’s always the challenge of getting big fish to the boat.”
The tournament has been blessed with sunny skies and light winds providing excellent conditions for sighting other big beasts. In the spirit of Guy Harvey’s passion for marine conservation and swimming with large marine animals, one team was able to get into the water with a pod of pilot whales and another team swam for a half hour with a whale shark.
Erik Akins and Robert Collins of the Last Dance Team spotted a pod of pilot whales and hailed Chris Peterson from the <a title="Hell's Bay Boatworks web site" href="http://www.hellsbayboatworks.com" target="_blank">Hell’s Bay</a> Hopper Team on the radio. Peterson’s team swam with the whales and said that they were eating a big blue fin tuna.
“One of the whales swam by with the tuna’s head in its mouth,” Peterson said. “Another had the body of the tuna. They were sharing the fish. It was pretty incredible.
Gaston Legorburu’s Tag Line team came back to the dock with stories and photos of swimming and riding a 16-20 foot whale shark.

Many stories were told, some not to be repeated herein, and artist Ed Pang presented his perpetual trophy to Frank which displays a bronze Mold Craft lure a top of a jumping marlin.

![](mailto:?subject=Guy Harvey Outpost Offers New Luxury Expedition to Panama!&body=<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cherin-iii-image.jpg"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-2829 alignleft" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cherin-iii-image.jpg?w=200" alt="Cherin III Image" width="200" height="300" /></a>Having never before caught and released either a blue or black marlin, I really should be heading to Panama pretty soon. But I can't, so you should go in my place.
In August and September, the Pacific waters from the Archipelago de Las Perlas south to Pinas Bay in the Gulf of Panama will provide your best shot at battling multiple blues and blacks in a single day. You will be able to chase them pretty much wherever they roam in the region, then hook and fight them in comfort--except, of course, for your sore arms.
Your host is South African adventurer Hennie Marais, operator of Panama Yacht and Fishing Charters-- an exclusive Guy Harvey Outpost Expedition. And he offers a big-game fishing experience like no other.
Your party of up to 12 will eat and sleep in the air-conditioned comfort of a 98-foot luxury Knight & Carver yacht, then head out to the billfish grounds aboard a 66-foot Buddy Davis sportfisher or a 37-foot Strike --or both.
"You go out at 6:00 to 6:30 in the morning. You fish for live bait. When you get to the bait grounds, it's just acres of bonitos and skipjacks," Marais said. "Often before you get all your live baits out, you have a black marlin. And you're not getting beat up by the sea conditions. You fish till you're out of live bait, then troll lures or dead baits for sailfish and blue marlin. There's a good opportunity for a grand slam."
For the non-anglers in your party who want to explore remote island jungles or those who prefer to fish close to shore for roosterfish or Cubera snapper, there's an 18-foot Mitzi skiff, kayaks, personal watercraft, stand-up paddleboards and a fully-equipped scuba diving center.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime expedition you have to do," Marais said. "It's not just the fishing--it's the whole destination."
<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ms-b-haven-img_8126.jpg"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-2830 alignleft" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ms-b-haven-img_8126.jpg?w=300" alt="Ms B Haven IMG_8126" width="300" height="200" /></a>
If you can't make it to Panama for the black-and-blue bite, make plans to charter the mothership in another part of Panama later in the year. Marais steers the fleet to wherever the fishing is most bountiful or wherever you desire to explore.
January and February in the Las Perlas and Pinas waters are prime for black marlin, tuna, dorado (mahi), wahoo and roosterfish. April through June usually find the mothership plying the Pacific waters around the remote Isla de Coiba, a World Heritage Site in the Gulf of Chiriqui where yellowfin tuna are abundant. Other options throughout the year are the Bocas Del Toro and Gulf of San Blas regions in Panama's Caribbean Sea for family snorkeling and inshore and reef fishing.
"You can take four different trips to Panama and none will be the same," Marais said.
Phenomenal fishing, lush unexplored jungles, and gourmet food and a stocked wine cellar on board your safari headquarters. Pretty tempting.
You can book a weeklong or three-day customized package, with all trips beginning in Panama City-- about two hours by air from Miami.
But when you board, be on the alert for a stowaway: me. https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/guy-harvey-outpost-offers-new-luxury-expedition-to-panama/){kind=link}

About the Florida Wildlife Federation: “The Federation strongly advocates protection for the headwaters of Florida’s streams and rivers as they are critical in providing clean drinking water and to ensure the health of fish and wildlife,” says Manley Fuller, Florida Wildlife Federation President. “The health of the Gulf of Mexico and the Southern Atlantic is directly related to the health of our rivers which in turn depends on keeping our headwaters pristine.”
This fall, the Federation is actively working on Gulf of Mexico restoration to see that RESTORE Act funds are spent on projects that provide longstanding benefits to the Gulf and watersheds all along Florida’s Gulf coast and lowlands. With the recently announced proposed settlement between BP and the State of Florida, county and state officials now have a clear picture of what they will spend for the next 15 years. Helping them find ways to leverage every dollar will be critical to success. As to fisheries, FWF and our allies are pleased that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently adopted a proactive resolution recognizing the need to conserve and monitor marine forage fish populations. We look forward to working with the FFWC in support of the resolution’s goals.
The Florida Wildlife Federation is a nonprofit, statewide conservation organization established in 1936. For more information visit the <a href="http://www.fwfonline.org" target="_blank">FWF web site</a>.
