The 88 ? blue water is on the beach, with the fishing for sailfish picking up a bit. The fleet is averaging between two and three sailfish a day per boat, with a few dorado thrown in.
The blue marlin are out between 45 to 50 miles, which is basically out of range for the sport fleet, but a few private yachts are making the run.
Martin, on the Nautilus, released three sails in one day, and then fished inshore another. He told me the inshore fishing is outstanding for rainbow runners, roosters, and jack crevalle. The Natilius, a 31 foot cruiser, is not the best boat for fishing the back side of the waves, so up in the Pantla area, he fished a well defined color break about a half mile off the beach. Trolling live bait, they had a fantastic day, picking up 15 roosters and several jacks.
There are very few people here, and even fewer boat charters. Santiago, on the panga Gitana, said, "it has been so long since I have had a client, I am forgetting how to fish".
