01-08-09 Winter conditions persist with sporadic north winds dictating the quality of fishing each day. There are still reasonable quantities of fish to be found on the good (no wind) days.
Though none of the hotels have more than a few guests and the number of boats going out is light, when they do go out, it is more often than not for half a day until the wind gets them.
In spite of the fact that most of the boats are fishing within 5 miles of shore, the catches have been remarkably good. Plenty of marlin are found tailing down-swell with an occasional bite yielding a fish per day for those targeting them.
Dorado in January? You bet?Ķa few fish are being caught from 5 to 35 pounds, mostly free swimmers in open water.
Sierra continues to be the go to' fish when nothing else wants to bite or the boats are forced to remain near the shore.
