The inshore sierra bite continues to be phenomenal with the overall daily catches providing fast action, easy fish limits and numerous releases. Daily combined averages, (catches & releases) were exceeding 100 fish per day and for the light tackle or fly fishing enthusiast, this would be "as good as it gets" fishing. The offshore fishing has remained stable, with about 75% of the boats reporting billfish catches, but nearly all boats with 1 or 2 shots at a billfish. Overall catches for 45 days ffished reflected 10 stripers, 17 sailfish, 26 dorado, 26 yellowfin tuna and 1 mako shark.
