May 2010 Giant Cubera Snapper weighing 62 lbsLast week continued to excellent inshore fishing. The Roosterfish were piled up on the rocks and all of our eager guests were delighted to get into the action. There were some giants released this week in the 70+ lb range. These things put up a really good scrap on 20 and 30 lb tackle. Watch out for the rocks though! The Cubera Snappers were not too aggressive last week. We did manage to pull out a few, and one of them weighed an impressive 62 lbs. There were more than enough roosters to keep everyone contented. Offshore, the marlin action was sporadic but those hours waiting weren’t too bad as the swarms of BIG Dorado and Yellowfin Tunas continued to pull the light tackle rods. Large Dorados are not common this time of year but with the crazy weather patterns we’ve been experiencing, anything is possible.

Debra Fennell released her first BLACK MARLIN estimated at 500+ lbs. This fish was caught just minutes after lines in the water on the first day of fishing. Congratulations! Warren Machol also released his first BLACKMARLIN last week. The fish was estimated at 200 lbs. James Fennell hooked into a really nice STRIPEDMARLIN estimated at 200 lbs and got the release. David Langer also released his first STRIPED MARLIN150 lbs. around

There’s also lots more photos available on Facebook and Flickr.
