There were fewer blue and black marlin caught, but that may have been due to the effects of the full moon. There were still some caught, just not as many. Once again the area to the south of the Cape had the most blue marlin hookups while the blacks were found closer to shore. On the Pacific side, the striped marlin bite continued at its slower than normal summer pace; but there were boats that released two to three fish per day, most of them being found fairly close to the beach, within five miles, up past the Los Arcos area. There were sailfish around. They were caught to the south and west of the Cape as well. Most of the sailfish were in the 40 to 60 pound class.

There have been decent numbers of tuna in the 20 to 30 pound class being found on the Pacific side of the Cape, out around the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks. Early in the week there was a group of fish that were between 100 to 200 pounds found south of the Cabrillo Seamount. These fish worked their way around the Cape and were found later outside of the San Jaime Bank. There were fish in the 120 to 180 pound class caught every day; one boat got covered up, hooking and landing five fish over 100 pounds on one pass.

The dorado bite has definitely improved, as most boats were able to get five or six fish a trip, averaging 15 pounds as long as they fished the right area. From the lighthouse on the Pacific side up to inside the Golden Gate Bank, as long as you stayed about 2 to 3 miles off the beach you were going to hook up. .

Inshore there are dorado in decent numbers and sizes as well as some good rooster fishing which kept panga anglers happy.. When the football tuna ventured close to shore, the pangas would scoot out there and score a few fish, but for the most part, they stayed within three miles of the beach, and almost all of them were fishing the Pacific side of the Cape.
