Marlin Fishing

“After fishing for blue marlin for 20 years, and not connecting, I was disenchanted to say the least. Then my good friend and fishing partner Burke invited me to go with him to St. John to chase the blue ones.

That was ten years ago. To date we have fished with Robbie over 25 times. The experience was so unbelievable that I had to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming.

We raised 2 astonishing blue marlin in one day! Over the years we have caught and released about 20 blue marlin, my largest being over 400 pounds.

This captain is intense, knowledgeable, and persistent. Along with that fact he has boat handling skills that cannot be matched.

I have fished with three different mates on the ‘Mixed Bag’ they were all top notch. Robbie has a great disposition and a good sense of humor… that is, until the mate starts setting out the spread. Then he goes into intense fishing mode. He is all business watching the spread, teasers, sounder, and current. Nothing slips past his watchful gaze.

Robbie reminds me of a bird of prey on his perch waiting to strike. All in all my experiences on the ‘Mixed Bag’ have been many of success and witnessing demonstration of great fishing skills. I can never thank him enough.

I will continue to return and fish with him as long as I live.”
