For my Janis Legzdins group from Latvia, aboard the "Release" with Capt. Nico the figures for their first three days are: 128-102-32. Not bad for a group of trout fishermen - doing their own hooking first time on circle hooks! They are going to Tikal for a couple of days, then back fishing on the "Release" for three more days. So, I will have another report for this group later this week.
