Water
Temperature: The
first cold current of the year made it presences this past
week, still our captains found good water about 30-45
miles North and South, yes very far..
Weather
Temperature:
It has continue to be a nice spring weather, even though we
are suppose to be with summer weather. Great
weather.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Off-shore fishing.-
LONG RIDE, was the
characteristic this week, going North even farther out
than the 88 bank. It was a long ride, but worth it,
since everyone where averaging more than 1 bill fish per
boat. Mr. Smith from Tucson, AZ up to 5 in one
day. Not many dorado, but those being caught with
average of 40 lbs. Tuna, what? what is that ?? still
a big absent this year, it has been the slowest year for
tuna in the past 5 year. But we are positive that
this only means, like the say, good things will come to
those who waits.
In-shore fishing.-
Even with the cold currents, in-shore fishing
continue to offer decent fishing, but not many boats targeting
these species.
Successful
lures:
Mean joe green and
petrolero above all..
Bait
Used: Plenty,
but continues to be mostly in-shore species, mullet,
sardine, small jacks, etc.
Highlight of
the Week: The
highest average per boat/catch for bill fish in the whole
year. The dorados, quality not quantity.
