Day 2 started off early for me, 5 am to be exact but there is a reason for the early wake up call. A bit of back script - on Sunday before coming over to the island I loaded a suite case with RockStars, the energy drink of Team Bad Company. This morning at 5:30am, like a scene right out of Miami Vice, I walked my suite case down to the docs and unloaded all the RockStars on to the Bad Company 55. The crew and the boss where happy knowing that after downing a couple RockStars a day on the water would just fly by.
It is almost 7am and time for the shotgun start.
Side note: For some great pictures of the tournament and more insights please go visit www.sportfisherman.com we are on the front page - CA Billfish Series. There are a plethora of amazing photos from the water.
The big shocker: Kites, yes I wrote it, kites! The East Coast guys have come to the West and they are flying kites and getting bites. It was supposed to be a funny side note watching some guys run kites for marlin but it has turned into fishing strategy that many West Coast anglers are taking notice of. After one day Snake Dancer, an East Coast Contender Team, hooked three marlin on kites. With the wind already picking up it looks to be another great day for kites and potentially another great day on the water for the East Coast Contender Teams.
C Bandit started off the morning right hooking up a striper at 8:45am. I wonder how those kites are flying?
I will be back at 12 with more news, new and improved from Avalon!
