This is one of the biggest tigers i remember back in the 1980's reading about it in a Miami Herald newspaper article.Today Ed Dwyer has become one of the most prestigious charter boat captains out of Port Canaveral Florida.He has pioneered yellowfin tuna fishing the Bahama bank east of Canaveral to a spot called "the other side".The incredible fishery that was discovered by Captain Ed Dwyer has caught on in popularity to the point where a few tournaments to the "other side" are held during each year.Captain Dwyer and his wife Candy have been very helpful in providing us with excellent historical shark fishing stories w pictures of the shark fishing that took place along Brevard county beaches during the 1970's and 80's.In those days the East Coast Shark Club of which Ed Dwyer was a member was very active often catching huge tiger and hammerhead sharks that frequently made the local newspapers.Captain Ed Dwyer is currently (2/2009) having a brand new 65 foot charter boat built in North Carolina to be ready for the spring fishing season.Thanks to Captain Dwyer and his wife Candy for there cooperation with us.
