Fishing

Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado, Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper

Marlin on the wireLast week the action was really spectacular. Super sized schools of sardines invaded the coast and feeding on them were giant schools of Yellowfin Tunas and Dorado. It was non-stop action all week. The Black Marlin were also around but the pickings were fairly slim. Some very lucky anglers did get in on some of the action. Inshore was nothing short of spectacular. I have never in my three years seen so many Roosterfish. It was incredible to see 3-5 Roosters chasing the poppers while casting  inshore. Boats returned to the docks every evening with the riggers loaded with green roosterfish release flags.
