Well this is going to be a quick summarized report as I'm still getting all the details(I had something to do and did not go ).My brother Robert and his two friends and a borrowed Captain took the Bow Down south on Saturday morning and headed straight to the Nakika . They fished all around the Nakika never loosing site of it and ended up catching 3 YF ...one 70# and two 35#, a ton of Blackfin and kept around 8-10, two Dolphin a 50# and a 25# , and then to make it even better tagged and released an estimate 400# Blue Marlin( also it was the angler first and it was caught on a 50wide stand up gear).I have some of the pics now and will post more including the blue when I get them. About the water it was cobalt blue @ nakika and there was scattered grass north of it but no weed lines.(sorry thats all I could get out of them they were a little tired). 
____________________________________________________________ the tuna with Nakika all lit up in the background(I love this picture) 
___________________________________________________________________________ Here is the blue....................hooked up 
___________________________________________________________________________ still hooked up............... 
___________________________________________________________________________ starting to wonder why he grabbed the rod 
___________________________________________________________________________ thinking this isn't a good position to be in 
___________________________________________________________________________ and here she is............... 
and here is the wore out angler Mike Brown 
It was his first blue and yes he took a Chico bath(sorry no pics of that).

CHICO (7/2/2008)
What the hell is a CHICO bathIts tradition for the first billfish to take a swim(or be forced to swim), so he took one in Bayou Chico hence the chico bath.

Just wondering if I could use that saying for somthing. Hopefully ill take my first swim Friday at that same spot. Thanks for the report by the way ill pass along to Boss Man for this weekend.
