According to Captain Temo Verboonen, skipper/owenr of the Secuestro De Amor, it was one of those good-day/bad-day type of fishing weeks, with one day providing a hot bite and the nex day a slow bite. However, he did say there were many more marlin in the mix this week. He also said that for the boats that were lacking action on the slow bite days, the boats w ere going to the white rocks to provide action on the prolific numbers of jack cravelle available on both the pencil poppers and live bait. Also, there was some fair roosterfish action with the better roosterfish bite coming from the Pantla Beach area. Angler Ed Des Enfants of New Port Richey, FL, had a couple of nice roosterfish aboard the Secuestro De Amor, at approximately 45 lbs. each.
