However, we had a 400 lb. blue marlin checked in at the docks, along with a a fair mix of quality sized dorado in the 30 lb. range and even with a fair number of sailfish that ranged upwards of 80-90 lbs. Almost every day through this moon phase the fish moved, one day would be close and the next would be out to 15-20 miles or so and it took the skippers time to get the fish relocated on a daily basis. On the other hand, the inshore fishing was providing good action for the Sierra, bonito, lots of jack crevalle and even a few roosterfish are re-showing up for the light tackle anglers.

IZ Climate: Mostly sunny with warm and clear days and pleasant evenings. Temps ranged from 70 nights to 89 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Mostly calm days with temps ranging from 84 inshore and then rising to 86 degrees between the 100 and 1000 fathom curves.

Best Lure/Bait: The offshore fishing has been best using the rigged baits while the inshore fishing was good on live bait and a variety of poppers used on the spinning tackle.

Bait Supply: There was no lack of bait, even through the full moon period.
