Hey, the 5th picture is really cool. Looks like you had a blast. My wife and I had our 10th year anniversary this year and we were going to do something like Aruba or Bahamas... it didn't work out for various reasons, but we are going to do it in the next couple years.

I'm now thinkin' Costa Rica or Cabo... I've seen some cool things from there.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

I don't mind at all. The Fly Hooker is $450/day, $425/day if you book 2 or more days. That covers the boat, gear, tackle and soda and water. Mary will also arrange for lunch and beer on the boat if you want her to do that. They also offer a few different packages with hotel and ground transport on the web site. I usually take care of all that myself but it is an option. I book directly through their web site via e-mail. The nice thing about that is, if the Fly Hooker is booked, Mary has a little network of other boats she likes with good crews that release all billfish and are willing to let customers fish with their own light tackle as I prefer. Unfortunately, there are still quite a few captains and mates in Cabo that insist on killing billfish and using only broomsticks and 100 pound test line. Personally, I don't want to fish with any of them. The Fly Hooker, and most of the other boats Mary recommends and books for, participate in a the Billfish Foundation tagging program. I'm looking forward to receiving my release certificate in the mail for the Blue Marlin.
