According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the billfish were all over the
place and good numbers, but mostly unwilling to bite. The overall
bite was moving about the area from day to day and the blue water has
moved back off shore a little farther. Still, the boats are managing
from 1-6 strikes a day on the billfish but compared to the numbers of
billfish being seen, that is a very slow bite ratio. The inshore
fishing has picked up considerably for pompano, jack cravelle and
bonito, but no roosterfish.
IZ Climate: Mostly sunny and warm days, temps from 72 nights to 88
daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Calm, water temps from 82 inshore to 83 offshore.
Best Fishing Area: None! The billfish are jumping everywhere in the
offshore waters but it's the "luck of the draw" on finding the biters.
Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits working well for the billfish but live
bait working better.
