Fish Report August 6th – 12th
BAIT – The bait supply this week was ok. We are still heading south to get bait in front of the La Ribera Marina. Sardina, ballyhoo, and caballito are all available. The sardina are still pretty small. You’ll need a size 2 or 1 Owner hook.
WATER – The water is cleaning up and the temps are right around the low 80’s due to the tropical storm we had last week. We expect the water to warm rapidly this week.
TUNA – The tuna bite was ok this week. Fish are being caught south in the Ricon area. The size is all over the board from 15lbs to 80+. You just never know. The bigger tuna are hitting on fly lined cabillito.
DORADO – The dorado bite was good again this week. Seems that most boats are getting fish every day out although the size has not been there.
ROOSTER – The rooster bite remains good. The bigger fish have moved off the beach into 15-30′ of water.
BILL FISH – The bill fish bite also slowed this week with the storm. There were a few caught yesterday, but not a lot of boats targeting the bill fish lately. There was a double blue marlin hookup and release this past week. Look for the bill fish to be on the chew this week.
WAHOO – The wahoo bite was also slowed some due to the storm. Again, look for the wahoo bite to pick up this week.
