Marlin Fishing Tips by Brady Bunte

Marlin Fishing Tips by Brady Bunte

Anglers are usually easygoing. They have to be, given the amount of time they need to patiently while away as they wait for the fish to take the bait. Despite their calm attitude however, all anglers have one secret yearning, to score the biggest catch of the day, and it does not come any bigger than the marlin. There are several highly prestigious sports fishing competitions that take place around the world, where anglers battle it out for days in an attempt to reel in one of the world’s most challenging fishing catches.

As the first million-dollar prize winner of the 2003 Bisbee Black and Blue tournament in Mexico, Brady Bunte can attest to how tough marlin are to snare, even when you have the best boat and latest fishing equipment. Here, Brady Bunte offers a few tips to less experienced anglers also looking to score that prize catch.

Organization of your gear is important when you are fishing. Brady Bunte notes that many who switch from inland to offshore fishing find crimping a better alternative to using knots when securing heavy monofilament lines. There are different sizes of sleeves to go with the monofilament, so it pays to have a labeled system that allows you to quickly pick out the correct size. Some anglers make use of old pill bottles labeled at the top to quickly pick out what they need.

Many anglers like Brady Bunte who enter sport-fishing events, will hire or buy high-end boats to take them out. These kinds of boats are typically well maintained, and part of the value comes from the quality but delicate surfaces that are found throughout. When you have equipment like pliers you use for crimping, you need to ensure they will not scratch these surfaces. A simple trick is to sheath them in an oven mitt before setting them down.

When setting lures, Brady Bunte recommends putting out a selection of sizes. Have extra large and large lures closer to the boat, and smaller lures further beyond. This is because when you are fishing for marlin in productive waters, you may not always find them hungry. Small bait may be pursued by the fish as a snack, so mix it up for maximum potential.

For those who like to sharpen their hooks a bit more, it is a good idea to use a black sharpie to coat this and the rest of the hook. Not only does it camouflage the hook underwater, Brady Bunte has found it is useful in providing a barrier that prevents rust from developing.

Live bait is usually less popular in offshore fishing because their use limits the speeds at which the boat can travel, but in some cases and areas live bait has been proven to produce better results of a larger catch. Brady Bunte has however noticed that anglers can still score a prize catch if they situate themselves in calm waters teeming with marlin. This is where local knowledge comes in handy in identifying hot spots.

Brady Bunte has observed that there are very many pointy objects to be found on board a fishing boat. From stick gaffs to billfish tags, it can be very easy to find yourself on the wrong end of a sharp tip. A simple trick many apply is using a tennis ball to secure the sharp end. Cut a slit long enough to allow the tip easily through when you squeeze the ball without pulling out a tag.

In fishing, it pays to understand the mentality of your prey. For instance, Brady Bunte has found that striped marlin tend to be far more easily annoyed than their larger blue marlin cousins. This weakness can be used against them. He has found that using bait without hooks allows the angler to pull out the bait from the mouth of the marlin. Many will keep following this elusive bait, while getting angrier at each successive failed attempt. When it is has thrashed about, frustrated and exhausted, you can then hook it and look forward to quick reel in.

2014 Peso Devaluation Vs Tequila Market By Brady Bunte

There are certain commodities in the market that are identifiable by the country or region they originate from. Even if the production process is exported, the original source is always favored by global consumers. Tequila is one such product that is considered most legitimate when sourced from Mexico. Brady Bunte recognizes it has been a major revenue earner for the country, with majority of exports going to the U.S. Tequila  however not always been a blessing to the nation as was evidenced by the 1994 Mexican economic recession dubbed the ‘Tequila Crisis’.

Brady Bunte, who has worked in the tequila industry for many years, acknowledges that this was a particularly turbulent period for the country. According to Brady Bunte, the Mexican government at the time sought to maintain the peso value using a fixed exchange rate regime. To prevent the decline of the currency, the government undertook large amounts of short term debt to finance buying of pesos. This artificial demand was intended to help appreciate the value of the peso.

As investors realized the currency was overvalued, they began pulling out their capital, resulting in multiple financial difficulties for the country, including rising hyperinflation, erosion of stock market value and a difficulty in settling short term debt by the government. The problem was eventually dealt with through a rescue package extended by the U.S., floating the currency and other economic reforms.

The repercussions of this crisis continue to be felt in the present day as the value of the peso is now determined by the market, rather than the government and its interventions. It is also interesting to note how economic reforms that stemmed from the tequila crisis have actually affected the commodity.

According to Brady Bunte, the last 20 years has seen a steady growth in demand for tequila. Much of this demand can be attributed to the devaluation of the peso which meant that foreign buyers could get more value for their money. Brady Bunte describes it as a sale period where you can get 2 for 1. At the beginning of the crisis, you got just under 4 pesos for each USD. Over the years, and thanks to correcting of the market position, you can now get about 15 pesos for each dollar.

Although economic reforms has helped stabilize the economy, investor confidence has been somewhat shaken in recent times by the political turmoil and crimes engulfing the nation. According to Brady Bunte, the recent killing of 43 students in Iguala, and more violent crime reports driven by gangs working in collusion with public officials has proven a grave concern for investors.

Even as demand for tequila grows with new markets opening up in Asia, there is also the problem of lower agave harvest projections. The devaluing of the currency and rising inflation meant that agave growers have over recent years suffered lower profits on their crops. Brady Bunte confirms that the pricing on these harvests is usually locked in years in advance by the distillers. With low returns on their investment and inflated projections for the demand of agave, many have over the last decade opted to cut back on their crop.

Recent reports already indicate that there will be a shortage of agave crops over the coming 5 years.  Another challenge noted by Brady Bunte is the fake tequila products originating from other parts of the world that are seeping into the international market. All this is tough news for the tequila industry, as the devalued currency has also meant lower returns for exporters.  

Economic recessions tend to have a lingering effect and it is clear that despite the stabilization of the Mexican economy now, the tequila crisis is still affecting industries, none more so than that which it is named after. Brady Bunte believes it will take continued economic stability and an inspired leadership to help ensure that the identity of Mexican produced tequila continues to prevail and dominate the market.

Timeless Quality and Standards of Anejo Tequila by Brady Bunte

Timeless Quality and Standards of Anejo Tequila by Brady Bunte

Anejo tequila is usually a favorite between the the different types of tequila (Silver, Reposado, Anejo, Extra Anejo) on the market. Brady Bunte points out several details below about this amazing category of tequila.

Anejo Tequila

Tequilas are generally classified into two broad categories;

•  The 100% Blue agave tequilas
•  The Tequila Mixto

Anejo tequila belongs to the 100% blue agave category. This category features no additives and it is pure blue agave. The anejo tequila comes in two sub-categories;

• The extra aged tequila anejo
• The ultra-aged tequila extra anejo

The extra aged-tequila Anejo;

The name “Anejo” is derived from the process of further aging of tequila. Brady Bunte explains that the actual process of aging is a minimum of 12 months but not longer than 3 years and is done in oak barrels with a capacity of 600 liters.

What is the purpose of aging?

The process of aging the tequila into what is known as the anejo tequila darkens this liquor. The aging also improves the flavor, the smoothness and bouquet a great deal.

The ultra-aged tequila extra Anejo;

This subcategory includes all tequilas that are aged for more than 3 years. Brady Bunte points out that tequilas that are aged more than 3 years old fall under the “extra anejo” category.

With the extra aging, tequila anejo gains flavor, color and value.  The aging process also  increases the alcohol content. For this reason, distilled water dilution is typically done immediately after aging.

What are some of the standout features of the anejo tequila?

According to Brady Bunte, these are in fact, what should guide one's choice of a favorite tequila anejo brand. Some of the things to look for include:

• Delicate knife-edged balance of oak with an infusion of wild agave for the Highland tequila anejo.
• The Lowland tequila anejo spots a mellow flavor, more earthy
• The extra anejo tequila has a taste of fine tequila blended deep within.
• The highland extra anejo tequila has feel of good incense.
• The lowland extra anejo tequila has an upfront vanilla taste that eases into a mellow finish.

These are some of the defining features that will guide your choice in the selection of your dream anejo tequila brand.

According to recent market trends Brady Bunte points out that Anejo tequila is by far among the most successful tequila brands on the market today.

Growth of Tequila Market in 2014 by Brady Bunte

The sales and consumption of tequila has been on an upward trend in many parts of the globe. Here are the latest statistics on tequila consumption volumes and sales revenue a revealed by Brady Bunte. Read on for details….

The sales and consumption of tequila has increased remarkably over the years. Since its inception, this liquor brand has appealed to a broader global market, even beyond the company long term projections. According to Brady Bunte, the growth of tequila market in 2014 alone is expected to be the best ever! Going by the sales and consumption indices so far, 2014 ranks best in terms of market sales consumption and revenue for tequila.

What was the market like for tequila in 2013?

Brady Bunte notes, tequila was consumed disproportionately in many parts of the globe, especially in the target markets. According to 2013 statistic, the United States of America was the dominant market for this spirit. The dominance was exhibited both in terms of volumes sold and revenue generated.

According to Brady Bunte, the popularity of tequila was predominant among the youths. This was crosscutting throughout the market. Particularly, in the US the premium tequila was in high demand as compared to other brands. This has been linked to the unique flavor and the feel of rejuvenation that is associated with this brand.

What is the market growth situation like in 2014?

In the year 2014 tequila sales and consumptions are certain to continue soaring up high. More than 13 million 9 liter cases are expected to be imported in the US alone. The premium, high end premium and super premium brands are expected to surpass their 2013 indices of 48.7%, 178.4%, 481.8% respectively. Brady Bunte points out that these forecast indices project an increase of more than 82.8% in the total volume of Tequila in 2014.

The revenue projections for tequila in 2014 traces a relatively different trend from that of the volumes. This is especially due to price differences for the various brands. From the US Distilled Spirits Council, Economic & Strategic Analysis Department, the projected revenue growth rate for the different premium brands for 2014 are as follows:

     i.            Premium tequila – more than 34.9%

     ii.           High end premium – more than 192.6%

    iii.          Super premium – 455.9%

According to Brady Bunte, these brand revenue projections point to a possible rise in total tequila revenue by more than 111.0% in 2014.

Why the rise in crave for tequila?

The rise in the consumption of tequila in the US and other markets like Mexico is linked to distiller’s ability to tailor tequila to meet the needs in the market. The idea of tri-premium tequila brands suffices the market needs in terms of pricing. It makes most consumers in Mexico, US and other target markets able to afford at least a brand. Generally speaking, the market growth projections of Tequila in 2014 is set to surpass the 2013 growth indices.

A Gallon Of Water Vs Ebola by Brady Bunte

Water Vs Ebola by Brady D Bunte

As researchers and the entire global community works around the clock for some form of medication that will bring the Ebola scare at bay, Brady D Bunte is reading about  and  the power of rehydration therapy and sharing his findings with others. Read on for details about drinking water to a possible  cure for Ebola.

A brief overview of the Ebola scare

Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Uganda, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone are some of the African nations that have had a taste of this deadly disease. In the recent times however, Brady D Bunte mentions that this viral infection has taken root in West Africa. In particular, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Mali have had a real hardship in combating Ebola. Nigeria is on record for managing to tone down the impacts of Ebola considerably till the WHO declared it Ebola free in the recent months.

According to Brady D Bunte, a Liberian American, Patrick Sawyer introduced Ebola to Nigeria. As a result, 5 health workers plus Sawyer perished from the infectious disease. 12 people however, survived the attack according to Nigeria’s Health Ministry.

This content reveals some of the lessons learnt from the management of Ebola in Nigeria. Brady Bunte has detailed most of it from true sentiments of survivors.

So what about the water drinking therapy?

Thought Ebola drugs and vaccines are just a few months away, finding a present solution in the noblest thing to do to bring down related fatalities. According to Ebola survivors, a minimum of 4 liters of rehydrating solutions daily is the thin line between life and death. It should however be noted that thus massive water uptake is normally a big challenge for Ebola victims. Simon Mardel is a health advisor to the World Health Organization. He particularly advises on the ground situation in Sierra Leone. Mardel mentions that Ebola victims get really crispy dry very fast.

According to recent publications in the New England Journal of Medicine, aggressive fluid replacement therapy was deemed very critical in saving the lives of 2 American health care workers who contracted Ebola. Brady D Bunte brings to light another Nigerian doctor who survived the scourge; Ada Igonoh. She contracted the disease while working at First Consultant Hospital in Lagos. She attributes her luck to the massive uptake of the oral rehydration salts well before here Ebola diagnosis.

According to medical experts, Ebola fatalities can be reduced remarkably if the patients take enough fluids and have the right painkillers. Paracetamol is the best compared to most other painkillers because it has a way of minimizing rates of bleeding in the victim.

How exactly does the rehydration therapy work?

Depending on the stage of the disease, an appropriate technique should be adopted if the patient is to be rehydrated accordingly. Most Ebola patients tend to seek medical attention after 5 days particularly in Guinea and Liberia. Brady D Bunte mentions that for the first 10 days of illness, the patient requires 40 liters of fluid. Anything lower than this is a potential recipe for death.  According to the WHO, a fluid deficit and a profound electrolyte derangement also slims chances of survival for the victim. According to Simon Mardel, the oral rehydration is very critical in maintaining an appropriate electrolyte balance in the body.

Alternative rehydration methods

Brady D Bunte mentions that the WHO recommends intravenous rehydration technique especially for patients who are at the tragedy state of not being able to drink or eat. The oral rehydration is best though, because it helps maintain a very delicate fluid-ionic balance therein. The intravenous rehydration have very minimal supply of potassium, calcium or magnesium. This is according to research works by doctors in Emory University Hospital.

The best way to save patients with recurring nausea, debilitating joint pains and large volumes of diarrhea is to administer a combination of oral rehydration, drinking and intravenous rehydration.

What to learn about water drinking and Ebola treatment

Rehydration is the most important thing for any Ebola victim. It helps restore the large volumes of water lost from profuse sweating, relentless stooling and vomiting. Flavoring the rehydration content makes it more appealing to the victims. Additionally, the rehydration salt can be used in smaller proportions that are much easier for the stomach.  A heightened concentration will inevitably stimulate nausea in the patient.

Hope and morale is very vital in the war against Ebola. Brady D Bunte mentions that survivors like Ada Igonoh did highlight morale and hope as being helpful in the fight.

So far, we have detailed crucial aspects on how drinking gallons of water helped save victims from the jaws of death. Brady Bunte insists that combining rehydration with the right medication and hope is certain to keep the scourge at bay.

Brady D Bunte Talks about the Embattled Ivanpah

The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is one of the largest power plants of its kind in the globe today. If you didn’t know, the Ivanpah has been widely promoted as a turning point in green energy. Brady Bunte reveals some shocking details on this embattled solar plant.

Located near the California-Nevada border, this mega power plant sprawls up to 5 miles of federal desert land. According to Brady D Bunte, the operators hint that the plant will be able to serve an amazing 140,000 city homes. Recent calculations by the California Energy Commission have however revealed some very disturbing details on the Invanpah Solar Electric Generating System. These relates to the firms operating capacity and its projected capacity.

Opened in February of 2014, the generation firm has been operating at about half its anticipated capacity in 2014. Projections rate its capacity at 8 hours of daytime uninterrupted energy supply. The low capacity has been associated with cloud covers, jet contrails, weather issues among other problems in the management. Brady D Bunte points out that the NRG spokesman, Jeff Holland, mentioned that the plant has experienced numerous challenges, equipment malfunctions and weather pattern irregularities are just a tip of the iceberg. The plant is estimated to hit is annual peak by 2018, according to the NRG Energy Inc.

What is special about the technology used at Ivanpah?

The type of technology used in the generation of electricity at the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is very different. Contrary to other solar energy generation plants that relies on the photovoltaic technology, Ivanpah uses the solar-thermal technology system. This technology is also referred to as concentrated solar thermal concept.

Brady D Bunte mentions that the concentrated solar thermal concept makes use of more than 350,000 computerized mirrors that are the size of a standard door.

How it all works

The solar thermal technology relies on the set of mirrors to concentrate sunlight on boilers. These boilers are normally elevated on a 460-foot tower. The steam generated from the boilers is sufficient to drive turbines to produce electricity. The whole procedure is simple yet complicated in terms of technology. This can partly explain why Kaitlin Meese, a research analysts at Bentek Energy, refers to Ivanpah as a symbol of the progressive development in solar-thermal technology.

During the early morning and late night when the sun’s effect is no more, Brady D Bunte says that the boilers are heated up by natural gas.

Some of the problems experienced by Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System

According to Brady D Bunte, the firm has been troubled by some major issues ever since its startup. Most significant of these challenges include the following:

·         Inefficiency in the alignment of the mirrors leading to considerable losses in power output.

·         There could be problems with keeping the mirrors’ clean for maximum sunlight reflection in        the dusty Mojave Desert.

·         During its startup, the operators of the plant expected to only require just an hour’s gas power for the steam boilers. This however, was too much on the lower side as they realized when the firm became fully operational. The boilers needed to be kept running more than 4 times longer. This means that the gas powered boiling would take on average four and a half hours daily

Ivanpah and an increase in natural gas use

Because of many hurdles in operations, especially pertaining to sunlight intensity and how to maximize the power output, the state energy regulator approved Ivanpah’s request for an increased natural gas consumption. The increase has however raised more questions on the viability of the project.

The operators and owners of the plant have however risen to its defense citing aspects of operation that could only be well understood through the actual experience of operating the firm at full capacity. Brady D Bunte notes that according to a confidential agreement between the firm and 2 California utilities, the Southern California Edison and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Ivanpah has a 4 year period within which it is expected to ramp up its operations to full capacity.

From reliable sources, Brady D Bunte highlights a statement from Brightsource website. Brightsource is concurring with the owners of Ivanpah that the recent weather pattern has even defied historical averages in terms of cloudiness. It therefore associates this to the low rates power outputs in some months of the year. Brightsource is, however, very confident that in the coming years, the intensity of sunlight will be more sufficient to enable Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System to click its performance goals.
