Very little change from last week, albeit, there was a couple of billfish in the report this week, a blue marlin, (under 250 lbs.) taken aboard the "Aries I" and a sailfish, taken aboard the "Aries III". Like Cabo, the lack of anglers was evident by the lack of fishing days reflected. Overall counts for a total of 12 days fished reflected 1 blue marlin 1 sailfish, 7 dorado and 1 yellowfin tuna. However, the inshore bite did offer constant action on a variety of fish that included 15 sierra, 38 pargo, 39 mojarres, 49 cochitos, 4 toro and 15 barracuda for 4 inshore fishing days.
