Moon bite

One thing that captains dread and look forward to all at the same time is the sale of their present boat and the purchase of a newer boat.  Yep Blue Heaven is for sale. The Blue Heaven is actually in great shape, but for the extensive travel we do, we need to step up a generation or two in boats.  We are upgrading to a newer boat. But first this boat has to sell. It is kind of a pain traveling and fishing regularly and making sure that everything is in show room shape. We have lots of extra gear on board to accommodate our needs as we travel. But she shows great and hopefully when I go through Puerto Rico in a week or so, there will be some interest peaked.
This months full moon has not panned out as great as the last one for Blue marlin fishing. But boats are still averaging a few bites and catching a blue or two a day. The best part of the moon bite, has been on the days just after the full moon. We will be fishing those days and seeing how the fishing pans out.
Most of the boats here are leaving and heading to St Thomas at the end of the week. Reports coming out of St Thomas have the blues showing up there. We have to follow the bite. Blue blues are bigger fish in St Thomas. We are looking forward to tangling with some big fish.
If there are any boat crews that are reading this and you are having a tough time with WIFI on the boat, check out Rogue Wave. I purchased Rogue Wave from HWH electronic in St Pete Bch. What it does is latches on to an available dock side wifi signal. Then it boosts it and then re broadcasts it throughout your boat. This allows multiple devices to get on line  at one time. I have had as many as 4 devices on line at a time.  The wifi speed and quality is great.  It is very cheap and has given us great service.
