The oncoming moon brought with it some super Marlin fishing as our captain reported many strikes just 8 - 10 miles offshore. Even with light anlging pressure , an average of 5-6 Marlin were caught each day last week. Just a bit farther out the Sailfish bite remains respectable as Captain Chiro on the Bloody Hook reported 7 Sailfish for 3 offshore days. Captain Chiro also reported 4 Yellowtail Jacks, Several nice Chulas and a mixed bag of Bonito for 1 inshore day. Captain Adolofo also reported the start of the Roosterfish bite as he landed 4 - 5 each day. The fish were in the 20 - 25 lb range. There was also a noticeable increase in the number of baitfish in the area which is a sure sign that the inshore fishing will pick up in the weeks ahead.
