The sailfish are still present but this past week lacked the presence of dorado throughout the area for the first time in a couple of months and for no apparent reason. Everything is virtually the same as in past weeks and maybe the dorado simply eluded the anglers this week? It's anyone's guess. The overall fish counts for a total of 20 days fished reflected the typical wide variety report for this area that included 3 sailfish, 7 shark, 21 bonito, 3 Spanish mackerel, 7 yellowfin tuna, 13 Atlantic barracuda, 1 wahoo, 2 jack cravelle, 2 triggerfish, 2 mutton snapper and 3 grouper.

PM Climate: Mostly cloudy this past week with temps from 78 nights to 90 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: A favorable week with light surface winds from 10-12 knots and sea temps holding stable at 83 degrees.

Best Bait: Continues to be the rigged and un-rigged ballyhoo, locally caught and rigged by the crews.
