Report Date:
http://www.cortezcharters.comCaptain Temo Verboonen reported a better fishing week than in the
past few weeks, but still enormously slow for anglers at the dock.
For the few boats that did fish, the bonito catches were good and the
roosterfish were biting well, too. Dorado starting to show up in
better numbers. Temo reported the inshore water had cleared up
considerably with the current moving the dirty water out but it
really depended on the day. There were no boats fishing in the
offshore waters but the overall offshore conditions from satellite
images suggest the yellowfin tuna are still on location, along with
the sailfish and marlin. He added, "can't remember when the lack of
anglers at the dock lasted for such a long period".
IZ Climate: Partly cloudy days with some PM and night rains and
temps from 70 nights to 91 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: It's been a calm week for a change and the sea temps
holding at 83-84 and lots of clean green water now with the blue
water at about 30 miles and beyond. The big difference this week was
the change in the clarity of the water from dirty to clean green.
Best Fishing Area: None reported other than just the in-shore areas.
Best bait/lure: Live bait for the roosterfish was best.
Bait Supply: Remained good for both, live and dead baits.
