Report Date:
http://www.cortezcharters.comThe offshore fishing was a little slow this past week and only 27% of
the boats landed a billfish. There were some nicer sized dorado
taken this past week that ranged to 35 lbs. and a "baker's dozen" on
dorado. The inshore fishing the place to be for good action and the
super pangas averaged 5 dorado per boat day fished. The overall
combined counts for the offshore waters for 11 days fished reflected
3 sailfish, 8 dorado and 13 yellowfin tuna and the inshore super
pangas, reporting for 6 days fished, reflected 1 sailfish, 8 pargo, 1
cochito and 32 dorado.

smaller tuna feathers of varied colors and dorado taken on rigged baits.
