Report Date:
http://www.cortezcharters.comThe longer fishing days, (6-8-hour days) are producing sailfish for
the groups but the sea conditions have been less than comfortable on
some of the days. There were several days of port closures that kept
the boats at the Marina and disappointed those that had wished to
fish. Overall, the fishing has been pretty darned good on the days
that were fished and this report encompasses a total of 9 fishing
days for the week that reflected 6 sailfish, 13 dorado, 3 red
snapper, 2 yellowfin tuna, 1 barracuda and 1 grouper.
PM Climate: Mostly cloudy days with temps at 75 nights and rising to
87 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Some rougher days with stronger than normal easterly
winds that kept the port closed. Temps are holding at 80 degrees and
the days fished saw the winds diminished to tropical surface breezes
of 8-14 knots of easterly surface breezes.
Best Bait/Lure: Continues to be the rigged ballyhoo for all of the
surface fish and rigged and weighted ballyoo for the bottom fish.
Bait Supply: There is almost never a lack of bait for this
particular area.
