According to Temo Verboonen, the lack of anglers has left most of the boats doing their annual maintenance projects and getting the boats ready for the upcoming season. Temo says the fish are there, but the weather has been very rainy and the sea conditions have been rough, with many port closure days over the past couple of weeks. When the boats do get out, it's only a 1 or 2 boat day, but they have been doing OK with the dorado and sailfish but there is no consistency with the lack of anglers. The inshore fishing has been very difficult due to the high surf and dirty waters, caused by the rough seas and rain run-off. By early October, the weather and fishing will begin to improve and change for the better and the skippers are anxious to get back at sportfishing, (no one hates boat work more than the crew).
