Alex & Crystal chartered Bite Me last week to add some tropical angling adventure to their honeymoon holiday at Matava Resort. Their sights were set on a Pacific Blue Marlin but day one proved that successful marlin fishing requires a dash of lady luck. Though large schools of small skipjack tuna were found, the billfish remained elusive.Their perseverance paid off however on day two when a nice blue of about 250lbs ignored the bent butt 80s and smashed a brown & orange MBT lure set on a stand-up 50lbs class outfit. The blue roared off on a typical blue marlin furious charge leaping across the ocean as Bite Me charged ahead to stay in touch.Alex an Ozzie but living with Crystal in Canada, did an exceptional job in the harness and after a fight of about 45 minutes, the blue was tagged, photographed and released.Video footage courtesy of Crystal Waters (is that a cool name or what ?) to follow shortly.With the tag in and the hooks out, deckie Joe prepares to swim the blue before

Future Access Still an IssueThe National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has denied issuing Exempted Fishing Permits (EFP) to 13 pelagic longline vessels to fish within closed zones off the east coast of Florida. The recreational fishing community expressed strong opposition to the permit application noting that the zones were closed to provide protection for critical habitat for juvenile swordfish, sailfish, blue marlin and white marlin. At the time the agency considered the permits, it was reassessing white marlin under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Longlining in the closed zone would have increased white marlin mortality, as well as that of other species, so it made no sense to approve a “federal action” that would have negatively impacted white marlin. The recreational fishing community applauds the agency for its decision to close the zones in 2000 and now for denying the EFPs. We're not out of the woods yet... Even so, the issue is not settled o

What an OUTRAGE! It is not just about the low performance. It is about what they teach in this school, and the hidden agenda behind it. It can no way be considered an American public school by any means! What the hell is their (LAUSD’s) malfunction??? Update!: The board dealt with another potential controversy Thursday when it voted to renew an El Sereno school’s charter less than three weeks after district staff advised against doing so. In a March 13 report on Academia Semillas del Pueblo, the staff cited low test scores, unconventional instruction and potentially conflicting school governance. About two weeks later, facing growing political pressure from former City Councilman Richard Alatorre, former Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg and others, the staff changed course. Under the five-year renewal conditions, Semillas must meet benchmarks that for three years would place it at least at the median of comparable schools in terms of state and national standards. Data show S

Here’s hoping… LAUSD Considers Closing Charter School Academia Semillas del Pueblo in El Sereno is an LAUSD charter school that is facing closure. It is one of several schools in the district being evaluated on the basis of charter renewal. Supporters of the school have attended a hearing and been calling on LAUSD school board members to extend Academia’s charter for another five years. An organization of concerned parents has spoken out against an evaluation process based solely on an English-only standardized test. They sure have some humongous cajones, don’t they? As opposed to what alternative evaluation process I’d like to know. And just to enlighten those who must not be aware of the fact, that we speak ENGLISH here. This is AMERICA after all. There will be a large rally and march on March 29th at noon at the La Placita Olvera, to urge LAUSD to renew the Academia Semillas del Pueblo charter.
