My bad, Haven't checked in in a while. Goddamn it was windy that weekend, Only had one good afternoon of winds less than 10. The rest of the trip was 20-25 sustained. Got my personal biggest red on fly and a couple other nice ones. Overall it was a good trip just didn't get into the same numbers we have in years past..
Barf you were asking about the Cayo, it is a nice looking little boat. Really dry even in slight chop for a flats boat. Only complaint is that with any wind over 15 MPH it seems that when I'm up on the poling platform it tries to track directly in the wind. Hard as hell to keep it straight when not going into the wind. Handled the passes just fine, had a 30 on the back and we were cruising at least 25mph. Overall It is an awesome boat but just have to figure out the tracking issue when on the pole, might be a weight distribution thing.
I'll upload some pics later

That is a very well finished little boat. I have been looking hard at moving into a cayo or possibly one of the Harry Spear hulls. Might as well sell the whipray while before the hells bay bubble bursts.
It's interesting that it tracked poorly in heavy wind considering it has fairly significant poling strakes. My whipray spins around like a top when the wind gets up around 20mph so maybe it has less to do with hull design and more to do with just being a lightweight boat in a stiff wind. Even my friends Vantage poles like shite when it starts getting windy.
