Hi Dan<br>We live in Sierra Vista in southeastern Arizona. We keep the boat in San Carlos Mexico and do our fishing from there.<br>We fish for mahi-mahi (Dorado in Espanol), striped, blue and black marlin, sailfish and YFT which have been durn scarce lately.<br>The "platform" is a 1990 Tiara 2700 Open with twin MerCruiser 350s. She's got an integrated GPS/fishfinder, SOS outriggers, custom arch with rocket launchers, bait well on outside of the transom etc. See <A HREF="http://link" target="_new">http://www.sancarlosmexico.com</A> for photos and info.<br>Started as a sport but the more involved I get with <A HREF="http://link" target="_new">http://www.starlures.com</A> the more it starts to feel like business. We've fished three tournaments with this boat and have yet to finish out of the money, er... trophies.<br>We run all 50# equipment. Two Calstar MH with Shimano LRS50 on the flats at the transom and a mixed bag of Penn and Shimano rods and reels on the riggers. Also run a whiskey pull on a long rod off the radar arch and run it waaaay back. Favorite and most productive lures are Stars (naturally), Pakulas, Kona Clones and a couple of custom jobs.<br>Normally fish with family and friends and also like to mix in a bit of scuba diving and margarita crusin.<br><br>Bart Waldo<br>Vista Communications
