No blue or black marlin being caught now even though the water temperature is fine for them. The high catch rate per trip for striped marlin are three per boat with the average probably less than one release per boat. There have been some very small fish in the releases...some of them as small as 15 pounds, but the average seems to be staying around the 100 to 110 pound mark. An occasional fish is in the 160 pound range.

It's still slow for yellowfin with a few fish being found on the Golden Gate Bank every few days as well as off of Palmilla on the Cortez side.

The water temperature across the area warmed back up and the dorado have remained in the area, but the bite has been slower than it was last month. Boats are averaging four to eight fish per trip with an occasional limit load. The fish were spread across the area but the best results seemed to be close to the shoreline and close to Cabo.

There's still an occasional wahoo bite, but not nearly the numbers we were seeing during the full moon phase. Once again the shallower waters near steep drops and around rocky points supplied what little action there was.

Inshore has been a decent mix of sierra, small roosterfish and dorado. Most of the activity has been taking place on the Pacific side of the Cape, and you did not have to go very far to get into the action....George and Mary Landrum
