No storms on the horizon, but there was few hours of rain followed by a strong wind from the east. Las Palmas Bay is somewhat of a divided playing field with the warmer water up to the north toward Las Arenas and cooler water from the Punta Arena lighthouse down.

In the warmer water the yellowfin bite has been outrageous for some. A good number of larger gorilla sized fish have been kicking serious leaving spent anglers and in some cases plenty of broken tackle. The fish are being found under the numerous porpoise schools found anywhere from five to forty miles offshore More dorado seem to be showing up daily and there have been a few more wahoo landed as well.

Along the shore and from the beach the big roosters continue to be caught some exceeding fifty pounds. Next week brings the first of the Bisbee Black and Blue series to East Cape and teams are already out scouting for the hot spot. With the water temperatures continuing to climb, more and more billfish are moving into the area. Blues are being spotted and a few are hooked and released every day. Striped marlin are throughout the bay and there have been some sails caught and released just outside of Punta Pescadero.
