Big Game Fishing

Unbeknownst to most Unicoi Outfitters Liar's Club members, there exists a "secret society" of big game fishermen, headquartered from, and living within a few short miles of these quaint North Georgia fly shops. A few troubled souls who willfully lay down the long rods and pick up the short rods of the stand-up big game fisherman in pursuit of Yellowfin Tuna, Mako Shark, wahoo and billfish in the fish-rich waters of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Men who are just as comfortable with the Aftco flying gaff as they are with the Brodin catch and release net.

After two weather cancellations this winter, this coming weekend, March 14-17, we plan to make another attempt at this cornucopia of fishing action.

(In the past 2 weeks, a few 200 lb yellowfin tuna, 3 Mako's in excess of 600lbs (including one within 70lbs of an all time IGFA All-Tackle world record, and several big wahoo have been brought to gaff in this area)

We are taking the big Mako Marine 314 into the heart of the fishing action, Venice, LA, and hope to return with stories of high seas adventure. As of right now, Capt. Dave, Bruce, and one-time fishing guide and shop monkey Chuck Head, turned stockbroker (who probably wishes he still was a fishing guide), are ready for action. (Other Liar's club members are invited, if you have the Kahunas!).

Hope to post pictures next week!!!
