Very slow on charters and anglers but for those that did get out, the fishing was good and the sailfish were biting, along with a mix of dorado and yellowfin tuna. The fleet fished 6 offshore days that produced 6 sailfish, 6 dorado and 22 yellowfin tuna, (school sized fish in the 10-15 lb. ranges) The "Aries IX" was high boat for the week and produced 3 of the sailfish, 12 yellowfin tuna, and 2 dorado for their 2 fishing days. There were only 2 inshore fishing days for the super pangas that reflected a catch of 12 dorado for those efforts and providing the anglers with some terrific fillets for dinner.
