According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the offshore billfish bite has
been very slow and has not kicked back into gear since the full moon
phase of 2 weeks ago. He says, "we are looking at the sailfish just
a couple miles offshore, but can't get them to bite. Very
frustrating for the anglers and the crews". The water temperatures
and clarity is pretty good outside the 100 fathom curve and
progressively gets better farther offshore, but still, the fish won't
bite. At the moment, he recommends inshore fishing for those anglers
that enjoy the light spinning tackle, as the area is saturated with
jack cravelle, bonito, chulas and mackerel. The action is very fast
using poppers, spoons, rapalas, feathers; everything works. It's
really fun fishing.
IZ Climate: Partly cloudy but warm days, temps from 71 nights to 90
daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: From shoreline to 100 fathom curve, temps at 76
degrees, from the 100 fathom curve to the 1000 fathom curve, temps at
81 and outside the 1,000 fathom curve, rises to 83 degrees, all
generally calm and very fishable.
Best Fishing Area: The offshore fish are in a "lock-jaw" mode and
just won't take the baits or lures. The inshore bite at the "White
Rocks" and along the shorelines to the north of the bay is excellent
light tackle fishing with fast action for anglers for jack cravelle
and bonito.
Bait Supply: Excellent bait supply.
