Los Barriles fishing report is brought to you by OKUMA FISHING USA. Fishing has been great the past few weeks. First off the water is still 84-88 degree water. Nice and blue just off the beach. Air temp has finally changed and now in the high 80’s every day with moderate humidity.
CONDITIONS
First off the water temps are currently 70-73° and warming every day. Air temps are in the low 80’s which will help the water temps increase rapidly. We are still transitioning from our windy season but, overall we are seeing more calm days than windy days. With a calm and warm week predicted, look for Los Barriles fishing to pick up.
BAIT
Ballyhoo is available in front of Palmas de Cortez Hotel and the sardinas are available to the North.
ROOSTERS
The roosters have still not arrived in numbers. There have been a few taken on the fly.
DORADO
The dorado have also not shown in huge numbers yet. A few fish being caught every day. If you are planning to fish the dorado shootout, please let me know asap in order to look for another boat for you. The hotel boats are almost completely booked.
MARLIN
The marlin bite is starting to kick up. Usually the marlin and tuna are the first to the party. With calm weather predicted for this week, look for the marlin bite to take off.
TUNA
The tuna should be here any week now. There have been some reports of fish down south. Hopefully they will be in range in the upcoming week or two.
WAHOO
Not too many wahoo being taken in the last couple of weeks.
