*Tim Hatler* · 06-19-2010, 11:09 AM

2 days of Pre World Cup diving for early arrivals here at Palapas Ventana- fishy conditions and a great vibe with folks from Guam, Australia, west and east coasts - so far so good - pics speak for themselves - this year the World Cup will be raising $$ for a new soccer field for our town!!

SpearMax · 06-19-2010, 02:05 PM

Just heard GR Tarr has arrived - a real diving celebrity on location today!

Good luck to GR!

Here is the latest flyer from Tim.

*PistoleroDelMar* · 06-23-2010, 12:36 AM

No more reports? how is the torunament going?

dennishaussler · 06-23-2010, 07:34 PM

report,,,,,,,,,
2 days comp, lots of amberjack, decent wahoo, good roosters, misc milkfish, toro, dorado, sierra, lots of marlin and sailies around, but none landed.
Sasa Bratic is in first place as of today, gary sanchez 2nd, 3rd ron laguanna, 4th dennis haussler, 5th jerry guerra.
GR has a bad ear infection, and has not been able to dive beyond 10ft, so him and brian are swimming the entire inside face of cerralvo, looking for jacks and roosters.

Took the kids, wife and whitneys family out today, got close to 2 sperm whales out in the channel, jumped in, kicked like hell, but could only get close enough to watch its tail for awhile, then it got tired of having me on its flank, and dove.
Pretty cool, never seen sperms before.
I will update with pics on fish as soon as they get downloaded.
tomorrow, back to the game!!

*PistoleroDelMar* · 06-23-2010, 07:43 PM

Very nice Dennis keep the reports up, looking forward to see the pics!

dennishaussler · 06-23-2010, 09:27 PM
