Some ???stripeys' showed up at the Punta Gorda and north of there in the warmer water. There were plenty of small skipjack on the bank as well as common pacific dolphin. A couple of boats reported seeing swordfish on the surface around the 95 spot on Thursday but no one was able to get a bite.

Dorado were scattered this week on the Cortez side of the Cape and perhaps 50% of the boats out there were able to get a hook into one of them.

The full moon brought about a few hungry wahoo up around the Punta Gorda area and the Inman Banks area.

Inshore fishing was almost non-existent on the Pacific side as wind and swells kept getting stronger and larger, the water became colder and got greener. The action on the Cortez side made up for it a bit though with some decent yellowtail to 25 pounds being found off of the rocky points as well as some nice sierra around 9 to 10 pounds. A scattering of other fish in the mix such as amberjack, small roosterfish, pargo and grouper made for some interesting trips on the Pangas.
