June 3 - 10
This week was a fun week here at Tropic Star Lodge. The Nelson Perez group returned for their annual invitational tournament. This is a neat group with a fun attitude. The rains could have dampened some spirits, but not with this crowd.
The rains formed a green and blue line offshore. Later in the week this line held lots of bait and plenty logs. The sails seemed to prefer the dirty green water in close. The stripes and blues and blacks hung further out in the blue water.
The Roosterfish are still here and available for those seeking a great snapshot with an exotic. One big grouper was snatched form the rocks.
All the guys are amped and ready for a strong Marlin run which is on the brink. We are seeing tons of small tuna and lots of Bonita.
The following numbers will give you a good idea of what took place this week:
Black Marlin 1
Striped Marlin 2
Sailfish 183
Tuna 123
Dorado 23
Roosterfish 45
Snapper 4
Wahoo 1
A majority of tuna were smaller football sized tuna. There were a few larger fish in the mix, and a couple mules that pulled the hooks.
