Captain Temo Verboonen provided an upbeat fishing report for the past week and reported the fishing had improved enormously with the changing of the water clarity that moved inside to about the 15 mile mark. The sailfish and dorado have been cooperative this past week and provided multiple opportunities for the anglers, particularly past the 15 mile mark and in the cleaner waters. The inshore waters remain a murky greenish color but the bite on jack crevalle, Sierra and bonito has not changed and remains excellent for the light tackle anglers. The roosterfish remained absent this past week, probably due to the murky water conditions along the beach areas.

IZ Climate: Lots of sunny, warm days with temps that range from 71 nights to 89 daytime highs. Near picture perfect weather throughout tthe area.

Sea Conditions: Mostly flat calm waters, excellent for trolling, and good, clear water just past the 15-mile mark and outbound from there, with the offshore temps holding stable at 83 degrees.

Best Bait/Lure: The rigged baits working well for both, dorado and sailfish. Live bait and pencil poppers working well on the jack crevalle.

Bait Supply: Plenty of good live bait for this area and excellent supply of trolling baits.
