http://www.cortezcharters.comCaptain Temo Verboonen offered an unusual fishing report for this
past week that reflected high & low fishing days, some good bite days
and some slow bite days and lots of current and movement of the clean
and not so clean waters. Temo says that some days the blue water was
at 20-25 miles and beyond and the next day at 10 miles and the
sailfish were scattered without any concentration. It was the same
for dorado and marlin. One day was really good and the next day, at
the very same spot, no fish at all. A frustrating fishing day on an
every other day basis unless you got very lucky. On the other hand,
the inshore fishing was exciting and full of action with the green
jacks, jack cravelle and Sierra, chasing the sardines and anxious to
bite most anything that wiggled by them. All in all, not a bad week,
just a week that kept the skippers' on their toes to keep tracke of
where the better fishing was.
IZ Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days with a few clouds here & there
and temps that ranged from 68 nights to 86 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Generally, very good, with little swell and light
and variable surface winds. Sea temps ranged from 80 inshore and
rising to just 81 degrees for the offshore waters.
Best Fishing Area: Changed daily from 10-25 miles with no daily
continuity.
Best Lure/Bait: Rigged baits were best for the sailfish, dorado and
marlin. Live bait and poppers worked very well for the inshore fish.
Bait Supply: Good supply of both, live bait and rigged baits.
