THE INDEPENDENT SPORTFISHING FLEET
According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the fishing/catching has apparently come to a near screeching halt over the past week. He reported that the International Sailfish Tournament fished 220 boat days for three days and produced only 20 fish for their efforts and his comment for that was, "no fish out there". He reported the water was greenish and the days were rough and windy, adding to the difficult fishing. He had no inshore report for this week as no boats were out to challenge the inshore fishery.

IZ Climate: Sunny & near picture perfect days with temps that ranged from 69 nights to 90 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Rough, windy weather and greenish water during the early week and now starting to see some plus-sided changes to bluer water. Water still very green to about 15 miles. Temps from 78 inshore and rising to 80 degrees at the 1000 fathom curve.

Best Bait/Lure: Not reported.
Bait Supply: Remains plentiful for the anglers.
