DEAR MARTY AND JAIMIE,
THANKS AGAIN FOR A WONDERFUL FISHING TRIP. SAMMY AND I HAD A BLAST. THE NEW BOAT IS EXCEPTIONAL AND BUILT PERFECTLY FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO ON A DAILY BASIS......CATCH BIG FISH. THE 2 LARGE SAILS WE HOOKED UP WITH WERE A GREAT FIGHT, AS WERE THE GROUPER AND MUTTON SNAPPER, BUT THE KING MACKS WERE ALOT OF FUN... WHAT A GOOD FIGHT FOR A SMALLER FISH... THEY WERE LIKE LITTLE SILVER BULLETS. GREAT ACTION!!!
AS ALWAYS YOUR PROFESIONALISM AND KNOWLEDGE IS SECOND TO NONE. EVERYWHERE WE WENT, BEFORE WE COULD TELL PEOPLE HOW GREAT YOU GUYS ARE AS CHARTER BOAT FLEET, WE WERE BEAT TO THE PUNCH BY PEOPLE WHO ALREADY KNEW THAT. BEFORE WE COULD GET THE WORDS OUT OF OUR MOUTHS ABOUT THE " MAIN ATTRACTION" THE LOCALS AND OTHER VISITORS WERE ALREADY BRAGGING THAT THEY ALSO KNOW YOU GUYS AS THE BEST.
ENCLOSED ARE A FEW PICS FROM OUR JAN 2 2006 TRIP.
PS AS ALWAYS SAMMY ADDED A FEW FOR THE CREW..
THANkS AGAIN, SEE YOU NEXT MONTH...

Dear Marty, Jamie, and Morris

For 8 years my wife and I had chased that elusive ‘first’ sailfish. I’d lost count of how many Keys Charters we’d been on, but its easily 25 or more, and then we happened on “Main Attraction”.
Suffice it to say, after numerous “boat rides”, a few fish, we had no illusions as to what to expect from a chartered trip. At least that is, until Main Attraction. Your organization has truly rewritten the “How to Run a Charter” book. Lady Luck was with us and we booked with you after a late cancellation.
After a dynamite morning of Yellowtailing (our request), Marty asked if we’d be interested in looking for Sails on the way back. My wife, the eternal optimist, was so excited that I didn’t bother to remind her of how many times we’d been disappointed, and decided to catch up on some badly needed sleep. A short time later I was awakened by a lot of excited yelling and scrambling and looked up to see my wife firmly locked in a duel with a huge Sail, with Marty and Jamie scurrying to clear the lines.

Exceptional Service;
I just wanted to thank you guys for a job well done. My wife & I were vacationing with another couple (old friends from Pa.) After many local inquirys, we discovered that you guys were the best charter service in Marathon-perhaps the Keys.Highly recommended!! The only booking you had left on such short notice was a 1/2 day charter out on a 42'Morgan with Capt. Billy & his 1st Mate-Ariel (I hope I spelled his name right). The guys had left at 5:30 in the morning to go out in the skiff to get fresh bait for the day (Pilchers). Capt. Billy picked us up at the dock at 7:00 as promised. We then proceeded out to sea where we picked up Ariel & the bait. Ariel made sure we had lots of bait!!!!!! Less than a 1/2 hour later we stopped near the reef to rig up. I was lucky enough to win the coin toss so I hauled in the 1st fish (AmberJack). We then worked our way out past the reef & got into a hot & heavy school of Bonita. My buddy & our wives had a lot of fun reeling in 5 of these tough buggers. We then continued to troll. About an hour later Capt. Billy screamed out "Free Jumper"!!! We furiously reeled in the equipment & Capt. Billy gunned the motor & put us directly over the last spot he saw the Sail. Within seconds Ariel was furiously casting lines around the boat. We almost immediately had a hit & a huge Sail broke the water. We were hooked! The next 20 minutes was pretty much a blur as I fought my 1st ever Billfish.I would call it organized pandemonium. Capt. Billy had joined the fray & helped toss out additonal lines. Sails were jumping everywhere. I was concentrating on my huge fish & trying to keep lines from being crossed. Ariel & Billy were shouting out directions. My buddy fought 2 additional Sails & lost them both. All of this in a space of 20 to 30 minutes. It was a total team effort. Quite a few other charters saw (or heard) all the commotion & had circled us like attacking Indians around a wagon train. Capt Billy did an excellent job guiding that huge boat back to my Sail. We
finally landed the fish & quickly took pictures (35mm). It took 3 of us-Ariel, Capt. Billy & myself to hold him up properly for the portrait. Ariel estimated him at 70 lbs. I wish now I had measured his length but I was in a hurry to get the Sail back into his environment. (Try holding your breath while I take your picture!) Capt. Billy & Ariel figured we had hooked 6 sails & one kingfish in what seemed like just minutes. One for 6. (As I said it was pretty much a blur). I have fished Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, West Palm, & twice in Costa Rica for billfish & never succeeded. My dream had finally come true. I have also hunted & bagged big game in Wyoming (Elk) & N. Ontario (Moose) & this experience rates right up there with those memories. If anyone else reads this report; book these guys for a 3/4 day minimum & make sure you tip them well when they bring you back. They are worth every penny. I'll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Marty and Jamie,
Thanks for the great fishing trip we had during lobster sportsman season. We went out on Monday and you warned us that the dolphin had not been biting and suggested that we reef fish. But then you said we could try for some tuna instead. We went for the tuna and caught a bunch and then you found a barrel and lo and behold a school of dolphin. We caught eight slammers, one was about 38 lbs. Needless to say you exceeded our expectations. You guys were great to fish with and a lot of fun. Even the story about the dentists from Pennsylvania and the girl on the boat was a keeper. Being a dentist myself it always amazes me what trouble some guys can get into!
We have reserved the same Monday (July 25 ) for next summer and we would also like to book that Friday (July 29 ).
Thanks again,
Bob Bosque

Capt. Morris
Wanted to let you know how much our family enjoyed our offshore trip with you. Caught lots of yellowtail snapper, some grouper, an amberjack, and a few barracuda, a great variety of fishing that kept my family on their toes. Your mate, Ariel, was friendly and always on top of things. You've got a great boat for families, big, clean, comfortable with a first-rate fishing crew. Here are some pictures of our trip for you to enjoy. -Dave Ott, Frederick MD.

RE: March 8, 2003 charter for Blackfin Tuna

I would like to thank you all for the hard work and dedication you invested into making our day of offshore sportfishing a complete success. Thanks to Captain Marty for getting up before the sun to catch the lively pilchards so necessary for successful fishing as well as positioning the Main Attraction in the perfect location on the fish. Thanks to Jamie who worked quickly and courteously to get the baits in the water, set hooks, chum live bait, gaff the fish and re-rig the rods without ever taking a break! I am a seasoned angler and the proficiency you guys demonstrated was very impressive. I'm not sure you realize just how much skill you guys possess. I would like to let you all know that it surely does NOT go unnoticed. We look forward to fishing tournaments with you in the future.  Sincerely, Chris Hart - SSgt, USAF

Subject: tasty Hi Marty, Morris and Jamie,
We fished the Main Attraction last Sunday for a 3/4 day. My name is Brad and my wife's name is Rachel. We had an absoluely wonderful time ... Thank you!
Both Marty and Jamie were everything we could have hoped for in a Captain and 1st Mate. They were professional, courteous and enjoyable company. Wanted you to know how tasty the Dorado were once we arrived back here in Clearwater. Obviously, we have more meals on the way...the freezer is full !!!
Also, Morris had introduced me to a sunscreen that he and the crew uses. I was wondering if you could send me some information on how to obtain some of it from you. I would be very appreciative. We really had a great time and look foward to coming back. Also, we are happy to give word of mouth support of your Charter business.
Please give our best to Marty and Jamie.
Thank you!

From John Stegeman, President, Ferguson Enterprises, Inc., Tampa, Florida, 12/11/00 I am writing this letter in support of Captains Morris and Marty Lewis, who charter two customized 42' Morgans out of Key Colony Beach Marina in Marathon key, Fl. I am not sure about you, but being an avid fisherman I always want to make sure I have hired a Captain who knows the ocean, and most importantly, how to catch fish.
I have been fishing with Morris and Marty aboard the Main Attraction for well over five years, and had some very memorable moments, including catching 12 sailfish in one day with four large cobias as an extra treat. In addition, I have fished in many tournaments with them, and our record of winning these tournaments including largest fish and 1st and 2nd place really speaks towards the experience of the captains.Although Morris and Marty will cater to whatever desire you have, they will recommend to you what is out there to catch and be open and honest with you. They get as much enjoyment (maybe more) from watching you catch fish. I have also fished my young neighbor with them, and they are very patient to ensure you will enjoy your experience.If you want a safe, exciting, offshore or inshore fishing adventure, count on the Main Attraction to get you there. I personally recommend them and look forward to the trips I have already scheduled in 2001.

From Mr. & Mrs. William C. Bergmann, 2/6/2001 Dear Morris, Cindy and I wanted to write to thank you for a truly spectacular fishing season. As you know we have fished with more than a dozen other captains on as many boats over the past ten years and no one has exhibited the professionalism, the attention to detail and the dedication to "having a good time" that you, Marty, Jamie, and Arial have shown us in the 30 or so days we spent together last Fall. Both Cindy and I are counting the days until September. We look forward to many more great days about "Main Attraction" this Fall.

I jumped in to help only to be slammed by a second Sail. As I set the hook, a third hit the starboard outrigger. We had three hookups at once! Mine turned out to be 93” and my wife’s 84”. Finally, nearly 8 years of waiting had paid off! That day began a marriage with the Main Attraction that has lasted for years, and never a disappointment.
Since then, I would speculate that we’ve been out with you guys 15 to 20 times and have always “loaded” the boat. Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Yellow Tails, Kings, and about every other fish in the ocean.
During the last trip, we had company guests and went with you 5 times. Our best customer was taking his second ever Charter. A “dyed in the wool”, hardcore Trout fisherman, little did he know what was in store for him. After a warm-up with some Yellow Tails, and a round with some Kings, Marty and Jamie once again came through, only this time, there were 5 Sails on at once. Two on the boat, and legally caught another. Needless to say my customer is a Main Attraction addict, bought and wears a Main Attraction “T” shirt, and even went out and joined the IGFA and the Billfish Foundation!
The second week was just like the first! Tuna, Kings, Dolphin, and this little fellow I’m sending you a photo of. Over 56 pounds of Permit, the likes of which I’ve never seen, nor do I think I want to try again real soon. That fish kicked my backside!
Bottom line is this. You can try every charter from Miami to Key West if you like boat rides. If you want to catch fish, there is ONLY charter to consider. Main Attraction, period.
Guys, Betsy and I, along with the folks that have fished with us, want to thank you for being a “class act”. It is truly appreciated! Ryck & Betsy Martin

Hey Marty.

Thanks again see you soon.
