Our sail fest slowed down a bit this week. This can be accounted for by several reasons. The blue water is still close to the beach, but it cooled down a couple of degrees. And, we had a small earthquake last Tuesday, which really shuts off the bite. Plus, on Monday, we had a barometer pressure drop come over us, dumping a little rain in the mountains behind us. A barometer drop is tough on fish. They go deeper in the water column to balance out the pressure, and hate to come to the surface for a trolled bait.

The fish are still here, and if we can get the favorable conditions back, the fishing will definitely improve.

Most boats are raising five to seven sailfish a day, but only hooking one or two. Again, they are just off their feed from the weird unseasonal conditions.

Jacob Schougaard of Denmark hooked a sailfish on the fly when fishing with me down at Puerto Vicente Guerrero. We raised 5 sailfish and a huge dorado, which did not take the fly.

Marcos, on the panga Oceana, got two sails and a 250 pound blue marlin for his best day. And Adolfo, on the panga Dos Hermanos, told me he got two roosters while fishing up North beyond Saladita. He also said there were a lot of big jack crevalle. The jacks are running 15 to 20 pounds.
