Black Marlin at the boat.

As we continue on this month of July, the fishing continues to be really good. I must admit that we do miss the big numbers of sailfish, usually common around this time but the Marlin are biting both on the reef and out on the drop-off. We were again blessed by the arrival of large schools of Yellowfin Tuna. Yes, there were some really sore muscles last week. These fish really put up a fight and they’re big. The largest one brought to the scale for the week weighed in at just over 200 lbs.

What a bite last week! The sea was alive with bait and of course with conditions like that the fish were willing. Sailfish were schooling up on the trash line around 10 miles out and our guests were in the thick of all the action. Giant schools of Yellowfin Tuna also gathered to feast on the baitfish in the line. It was all out war.  Back at the reef, the schools of bonito continued to feed voraciously and in them was the odd Black Marlin. The Roosterfish were piled inshore and large schools of Wahoo were also around.

The bite continued be spectacular  last week. The reef was firing up and bait seemed to be everywhere. Blacks were feeding both on and around the reef and a few lucky anglers got tom feel the pull of these magnificent beasts.  Big Dorado were piled up on the trash lines and were easy to catch too. Some of them in the 50-60 lb range.  The inshore bite continued to be great with some big Roosterfish and Cubera Snappers. There were also a few wahoo just north of the lodge.

It started on Monday with a Edward Carter releasing a BIG BLACK MARLIN estimated at 600 lbs. Three other Blacks were also hooked but eventually lost. Hey, they win sometimes right? The tuna bite continued to be great. Lots of action too. One boat caught 80 +Yellowfin Tuna in one day. Spectacular!
