According to Captain Temo Verboonen, skipper of the "Secuestro De Amor", the past week's fishing was very good, especially for sailfish, marlin and dorado in the offshore waters. Temo says there is an expansive area of live bait that runs throughout the area and the fish are under the bait schools and anxious to bite. The main concentration of fish are moving daily and the blue marlin, mostly in the 300 to 400 lb. ranges, are readily available at about 35 miles. "Seems like the next few weeks should be very productive for the boats. The inshore areas are producing excellent numbers of Sierra and jack cravelle and according to Temo, "It's a fly fisherman's dream opportunity for superb fast action.

IZ Climate: Intervals of clouds and sunshine and temps that range from 69 nights to 93 daytime highs. Light and variable surface breezes from 5-15 knots.

Sea Conditions: Near excellent for the offshore waters. The inshore waters are murky and green to about 8-9 miles at 83 degrees and rising to 85-86 at about 10 miles and gradually coming into clean green to about 18 miles. Bluing up well at about 30 miles or so.

Best Lure/Bait: Rigged baits still hot for the sailfish. Larger baits and artificials for the blue marlin.

Bait Supply: Remains very good and readily available for both, live and rigged baits.
