There were still plenty of striped marlin being found with most of the action happening on the Pacific side around the Golden Gate. While not red hot, there has been a fairly steady bite. The yellowfin tuna action remained steady for boats fishing for football-size up to 20 pounds in size, particularly around the Gray Rock area and the Santa Maria area during the tournament days. The largest tuna of the Los ! Cabos Tournament was 209 pounds and was caught by a friend of ours, who will not give any details about where or how, except to say the fight took two hours, and was caught on a panga. The charter fleet did very well on dorado this week but I was surprised that the largest dorado caught during the Los Cabos Tournament by a tournament boat was only 31 pounds. Perhaps it was the areas that were being fished because most of the big dorado (and the large numbers) came from near-shore area on the Pacific side.

There were plenty of wahoo reported this week and some boats were able to get multiple fish in the box, but you had to leave early for the first bite. Working the bottom contour at first light with lures around the 300 foot line seemed to work well for several boats. The fish ranged between 30 and 50 pounds. Inshore fishing produced roosters to 40 pounds; some nice-sized sierra and a scattering of snapper were reported from the Pacific shoreline thi! s week. The snapper have been tight into the rocks, but our small swells have made it easier than normal to get in there and toss a live bait. Most of the pangas fishing for the dorado have been focusing slightly offshore. If you are getting your own fishing licenses, you must have pesos. The people who sell the licenses around the marina can no longer take dollars from anyone.
