Just like every year, I’ll be fishing the BTB Mako Rodeo this weekend, June 12th and 13th. The tournament, which is held in remembrance of Brett T. Bailey, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11 runs out of Hoffman’s Marina in Brielle, New Jersey, and raises money for various charities, many of which are military related.
Bimini isn’t very big, but it gets even smaller when Bob Knight comes to town to do some bonefishing
Think being a gentleman comes easy? Think again. Sometimes even the most worldly of us need some help from the locals. Here’s what a few had to say about fitting in, standing out, and getting the most out of Charleston.

There have also been women’s and junior angler divisions added.
I’m down in Guana Cay in the Abacos for the first leg of the 2015 Bahamas Billfish Championship, which was recently acquired by Power & Motoryacht’s parent company, the Active Interest Media Marine Group. I have no idea what to expect. The participation numbers are up, and there apparently have been some rule changes, but nobody’s been able to tell me exactly what they are yet.
When brothers Bill and Bob Healey started Viking Yachts, they had no idea they’d end up becoming one of the most successful boatbuilders in the world. But it turns out it’s the other successes in their lives that have defined them. Read why the pair recently won AIM’s Lifetime Achievement Award, here.
