Are your fishing lures a secret?

I am a sucker for flashy lures set out in the water, however, it’s performance will show me exactly whether they are lures purchased for return on investment. My wife recently purchased a lure I wanted, the Zacatak lures supposedly runs beautifully in the water creating live motion squid action- yet I have not run this out in our Marianas pond since it arrived. I’m curious to see this in action and I can tell you this though, anything shiny with a hook, wahoos will definitely hit.

Gaji lures in my arsenal so far has had my greatest return on investment. These have surely produced and particularly the bubble gum 7” lure has brought in countless numbers of pelagic fish roaming our pond. I’m sure my fellow CNMI fishermen have their preference when it comes to chasing Pelagics as I do mine and for that big game fun, any day out on the pond is surely a treat.

I can’t continue this post without acknowledging Arthur Tuhk of seeUsmile lures as well. His inexpensive lure sets are worth considering as they too bring in the catch I desire. As of today, it’s been about 3 months since “My Boni” and I hit the pond. And with this insurgent of trade winds making its way tonight towards the Mariana Island chain, going out anytime this week may be a challenge due to winds up to 25 knots and waves hitting anywhere from 5’-10’. It isn’t impossible to fish in these conditions, but it will not be as fun battling heavy winds and large waves, hence it isn’t the safest and ideal conditions.

Anyhow, what’s your lure arsenal that deserves a shout out?

Way to go Baby!

A 6-year doctorate program at Walden University was challenged and completed in half the time. Boni, you are an amazing woman. Setting your sail out and believing that you can accomplish your goal of receiving your doctorate and in half the time is really something to brag about. 

You make all of us proud and you’ve given your father a dream come true. You have motivation and drive and it is seen with the children and others. I too am so proud of your accomplishment, I’m sure you are too and from what you said about this achievement, you did this for the children, that is humbling of you, but you must also remember, you did this for you. I love you and congratulations to you love!

The TP Tsunami!

Governor Ralph Torres and Lt. Governor Arnold Palacios very much deserved their win in the 2018 November elections. They worked hard and amassed a following tide creating the TP Tsunami of vigorous support from it campaign managers. The social media movement created the tides and those candidates who fail to get on board with technology took a back seat.

However, I was quite surprised that Washington Delegate hopeful under the Republican banner did not fair well. Granted the united front the Republican Party boasted, somehow left Mr. Demapan hung out to dry. I truly expected a closer race with incumbent Gregorio Sablan. The amassing of support showed true colors as it mostly went to Governor Torres and Lt. Palacios while others had to fend for themselves in the running. The CNMI showed their colors of democracy and the old told-tale of voting down the line of one party affiliation, did not prevail at this time.

Times are changing and people are changing their ways and views. Of course, you’d still have a mass majority maintain their support, the die hard party affiliate and their are those seeking change. No matter the political affiliation, democracy was seen. Congratulations to those who won and I speak for myself in hopes that our elected officials will do right by its people of the Commonwealth. May god bless us all and continue to bring our island nation to prosperity.

Congratulations to our Governor and Lieutenant Governor Torres and Palacios!
