Sailfish - Sailfish - Sailfish!

Each year we wait enthusiastically for the yearly Sailfish migration. It is already beginning and on some charters we have seen double digit sails. The dolphin (mahi) bite has been fairly steady with lots of bait extending from the Jupiter Inlet to the famed Sailfish Alley. Along with Sailfish and dolphin we have been catching some sharks, blackfin tunas, kingfish, wahoo and some keeper cobia.

The newly remodeled La Quinta Inn in Jupiter has extended our contract for discounted room rates. Luxury rooms are available well under the standard advertised pricing. Also, Jupiter has some of the best dining facilities anywhere, such as the Jetties Restaurant (home to Reel Candy II), the Coola Fish Bar at Legacy Place, and the Kee Grill in Juno, just minutes from the boat. The All new 'U Tiki Beach" will be opening soon with an exciting venue and a spectacular view.

Join us for a day on the Reel Candy or the Reel Candy II and we'll not only steer you to the fish, but to some fun places too. The Reel Candy team are proud members of the North Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce and the The Palm Beach County Tourism.

Meet Chef Frank Mazzarella & Family

Frank Mazzarella, a native of South Florida, always had a passion for cooking and the ocean.

In 2003, Frank graduated from Johnson & Wales University, North Miami, with an A.S. in Culinary Arts. While vacationing in the Abacos he met Suzanne Sweeting, who was able to arrange a Guest Chef appearance at the Abaco Inn, to cook up some specials for some of the locals on Elbow Cay. It just so happened that her parents were among the guests who were able to indulge in some of my cuisine.

Her father approached Frank about working for him for the season. "Work for you?", Frank said. That was when Peter Sweeting told Frank that he was a partner at The Abaco Beach Resort.

On May 8, 2005, Frank found himself in Abaco on a temporary work permit for the season, working as the Sous Chef. Exactly three months later when his permit was up, the Executive Chef of the resort decided to leave. It was then that Frank's seasonal position, turned into a full time position.

In November of 2006

Frank & Suzanne were married in Hopetown. In September 2008, Suzanne and Frank had their first beautiful daughter. Recently they were blessed with another baby girl, Sarah.

There are many challenges to living and working on an island, Frank looks forward to the challenge of turning Angler's into a first class Bahamian Restaurant.

Since 2005 Chef Frank and the Reel Candy team has joined to offer our friends many unique seafood receipes for our emails. Frank has prepared many elegant dinners for our guests, so make sure you visit him at the Abaco Beach Resort and mention the Reel Candy!

Thank you Chef Frank & Suzanne!

Doug Bean 1942 - 2013

Douglas R. Bean, 71, of Nokomis, FL, died on Sept. 7, 2013 after months of bravely battling cancer.

Doug was born March 22, 1942 in Milwaukee, WI. He and his wife Laurel have been friends for many years. Doug was able to fish with us in many places including Mexico and the Bahamas. An excellent angler, he was also very talented and produced our fishing videos. He will be deeply missed. RIP our friend!

CAPTAIN'S CORNER

This June we connected with some nice blue marlin while fishing the Abacos. Upon returning to Jupiter, Florida, we were successful hooking up massive sharks for our fishing guest. Most were well over 200 pounds with a couple fish touching the 600 mark. A couple trips to the Walkers Cay area for tuna and dolphin finished our summer in true fashion.

Our next Bahamas Trip is November 1st for early wahoo, and another November 15th which will be our last trip until early spring. Look for our weekly fishing report on the new Reel Candy website!

The bite has been consistant outside the Jupiter Inlet and the sailfish are making their annual showing. We still have a few open days, so book now for an exciting kite fishing trip.

We also partnered again this year with Pine Ridge Plantation, Florida's premier Hunt Club. Our Reel Candy guests have the opportunity to fish and chase wild game the entire winter. Although wing shooting is world class, wild boar and turkey hunting, makes for an exciting day.

A special Thank You to Kelly Johnson for her efforts coordinating the Reel Candy team for this years Grand Slam's Bluewater Babes Fishing Tournament for Breast and ovarian cancer victims. The girls are already planning next years events.

Our new tee shirt order is here! We have several styles to choose from. Call us or order on line!

Join Candy and I, on the Reel Candy, at the Jettie's Restaurant or Castaway's Marina and Square Grouper to kick off the Sailfish Season!

Book your excursion now, we are dedicated to providing you the best outdoor experience while visiting the Jupiter area!

From Chef Frank

I call this my

Blackened Rub...

This is a very easy mix and can be applied to any fish, meat or chicken dish that you would like to add a little kick to.

Ingredients:
4 Tbsp. of Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
1 Tbsp. of Paprika
1 Tsp. Chili Powder
1/4 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt

Mix the ingredients well and store along with all of your other spices. This Recipe can be duplicated several times over, and if you don't want it to be too spicy, just omit the Cayenne Pepper. After applying rub to your favorite fish, sear very quickly in a skillet or frying pan with just a touch of oil on high heat and finish in the oven at 350 degrees. When searing be sure not to leave it in the pan too long, because it does turn black very quickly.

I hope you enjoy this and until next time, Tight Lines Everyone!

Frank Mazzarella
