Week Ending June 29, 2008

Water: 76-83 degrees. Afternoon, SE winds.

Air: Cooler than normal for this time of the year. Very pleasant, highs in the low 90's.


The fish are very spread this week. Schools of Yellowfin are under spotted porpoise 20 to 45 miles off Pulmo. Striped marlin and a few blue marlin are biting between 5 an 20 miles directly off the hotel. Inshore fishing has been very good with lots of jacks and Roosterfish released this week. The fish are so spread, anglers are having to commit to a specific species.


Yellowfin- Under pods of fast moving spotted porpoise, fifteen to forty five miles of Pulmo and Frailles. There are lots of boats chasing the tuna, those getting to the action first doing well. The average fish 10 to 15 pounds, largest this week 60#. Trolled cedar plugs and hoochies and live sardine all working.

Billfish- A strong consistent bite, the marlin are five to twenty miles off the hotel. Anglers staying with the striped marlin are releasing at least one per day with some boats catching two or three. We released two blues in the 200# class, this week.
Live caballito and trolled Ballyhoo, working best.

Inshore- Lots of schools of Roosters in the 10 to 20 pound range. Very active from the hotel south to the light house. Mixed with Jack Crevalle. A few fifty pounders released this week as well. We are catching some good sized Pompano from 10 to 15 pounds.

Thanks...John
