According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the fishing got better and better with each passing day and by mid-week, the fish decided it was time to be hungry and bite for the anglers. It was very good fishing just 10 miles off shore, producing quality sized dorado, sailfish and even a few marlin in the mix of fish. The off-colored greenish tinted water and the full moon didn't seem to have a dramatic effect on the bite, which progressively improved with each passing day. We saw spots of feeding marlin chasing schools of bait through this area, along with groups of sailfish eager to bite the rigged baits. The inshore fishing remained very good for the Sierra, (Spanish mackerel) toro, (jack crevalle) and bonito. The barracuda were biting very good on the charters that fished at night during the current full moon, which allowed the boats to offer a 2nd trip for the day.

IZ Climate: Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain on Friday thru Sunday. Temperatures remain very comfortable at 69 nights to 87 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Calm seas and very good water temps that ranged from 83 inshore to 86 offshore right at 10 miles and extending offshore to more than 50 miles.

Best Lure/Bait: Rigged baits working very well for the billfish and dorado in the offshore waters. Inshore fishing good on smaller Rapalas, hoochies, live bait, etc., for the Sierra, bonito and toro.

Best Fishing Area: Right at the 10-mile mark for the billfish and dorado.

Bait Supply: Remains very good and unaffected by the full moon condition.
