Captain Temo Verboonen reported the ocean was pretty rough and bumpy for most of the week and completely unsafe for fishing the roosterfish inshore and even borderline for fishing sailfish in the offshore waters. The couple of good fishing days that the boats did get out offered good sailfish action with plenty of skipjack tuna in the mix. Very few boats fished this week due to the rough and bumpy ocean and squall conditions that kept the rivers running fluently.

IZ Climate:
Mostly cloudy with PM showers and squalls, humidity, and temps that ranged from 70 nights to 90 daytime highs

Sea Temps:
Stable at 83-84 degrees and very blue from about 8 miles offshore and beyond.

Best Lure/Bait:
Rigged baits working well for the sailfish and tuna feathers, cedar plugs and rapalas working well for the skipjack tuna.

Bait Supply:
Bait supply remains excellent for both, live and rigged baits.
