The offshore fishing has picked up a bit for billfish, with the fleet reporting a mix that included blue marlin, sails and stripers, with a catch ratio of a little more than one per boat day fished. Overall catch reports for the offshore cruisers reflected 4 blue marlin, (under 250 lbs.) 3 stripers, 25 sailfish, 5 dorado and 47 yellowfin tuna for 30 days fishing. Inshore action has slowed, and the 4 super panga fishing days produced 1 sailfish, 11 dorado and 30 cochitos for their efforts.
