Sometimes even the great captains miss the bite!

Calypso‘s Capt. Tim Dean stepped away from the wheel for a last chance at time at home before the 50th Tournament and season begin in earnest and left his charge in the good hands of crewmen Brad Curtis and Dean “Pup” Ford.

With Brad very capably at the wheel yesterday the team put Bob Lambert onto a black that Brad put at 950lb+ in the middle Ribbons yesterday on the first day of his trip and also jumped a smaller model off.

There have been more fish caught up and down the reef in the past week as well as some more big fish encountered. We’ll be back to daily reporting again from Monday with the start of the 50th fishing!
