Thetis bank is still kicking out some wahoo for the few local boats making the run. Dorado and tuna strung out along the way. The big marlin bite that everyone was looking for last month is happening down below Punta Tosca on the Finger Bank.

Big schools of tailers, feeders, and frigates on meatballs of mackerel and sardines were reported.

Not many yachts there but the long-range boats finally drove away in disgust. They are more interested in cow sized tuna than double-digit marlin catches...one angler's sport fish is another's angler's carp!

Estero action fishing this week remained about the same but with fewer anglers. The few that were fishing had catches of pargo, golden jacks, a few grouper and snook.

This is the time of year that attention turns to the migrating whales that should be arriving in numbers sometime in the next few weeks...Bob Hoyt
