Fall is in the air. The weather is pleasant, with highs in the high 80's. The best fishing has been north of Pescadero with most boats targeting billfish, and releasing at least a couple per day. There are a few more sails than stripers although the! re are still a few blues around. One of the 'Lets Talk Hookup' tournament boats released seven sails and three stripers in one day. The dorado bite has been off and on, with some good action off Punta Colorado as well as off the buoys between Cerralvo Island and Pta. Pescadero. Large schools south of Vinorama, 35 miles from the hotels produced ten to fifteen-pound tuna with limits for all anglers. Recently tuna fishing has been mixed with lots of skipjack in the same areas as the yellowfin. Outside large schools of porpoise are holding big tuna, very line-shy this week. A few wahoo were taken and lots were broken off around the buoys and all the way south of Vinaramas, close to shore.

Overall a very good dorado bite. Most were being taken closer to shore, from the light house south to Pulmo Park boundary. Larger dorado mixed, with some big bulls are being taken off the buoys between Pescadero and Cerralvo Island with smaller ones fro! m five to twenty five pounds inside. Inshore has been good with very light pressure...especially good fishing around the jetties at the new Riviera Marina entrance. The dorado are being taken very close inside. Lots of smaller roosters in the 5 to 15-pound range are being released. Sierra (earlier than usual), pargo and big pompano are coming in daily.
