Captain Temo Verbooned reported excellent action on the sailfish with concentrations in several different areas that may change from day to day. However, plenty of action with many boats landing 3-4 fish and having a dozen opportunities or more. He reported many double strikes with fish coming in hard on the baits and often making it difficult to set the hooks. Captain Chiro Barrigan, owner of the "Bloody Hook", reported very good sailfish action off Troncones Beach. Fishing with the Paul Watts group from Missouri, they released 3 sailfish on the first day and followed up with 3 more on the 2nd day. Additionally, he said they missed a dorado strike and 7 other sailfish opportunities and reported numerous jumpers throughout the area. The inshore fishing continues to provide good action for the Sierras and jack cravele chasing the bait balls of sardines along the beaches and moving rapidly from area to area. A few roosterfish but very small for this area, mostly in the 4-5 lb. ranges.
