According to Captain Temo Verboonen, it was pretty slow going during the early part of the week, albeit, there was some action on the striped marlin and a few sailfish tossed into the mix. The yellowfin tuna have moved farther offshore and out of our range right now. Captain Chiro Barrigan, skipper of the "Bloody Hook" reported slow fishing until Friday, April 22, 2011, when his client, Mr. Greenway, landed and released 3 sailfish and missed two others, all in the morning, then went inside and finished the day with a batch of Sierra. Captain Temo reported "good action" for Sierras, jack cravelle and big eye jacks and bonitos, along with very small roosterfish, with most of the inshore fish being taken on spinning tackle and the luna lures. He reports the water has cleared up considerably and while it's not blue, it is very clean and with a light green ttint to it.

I/Z Climate: This is the place to be! It's sunny and warm days and pleasant evenings and nights with temps that vary from 68 nights to 88 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Much improved water clarity with temps at 80 inshore and rising only one degree offshore to 81. Light surface breezes, mostly westerly tropical winds but not much swell or wind chop.

Best Fishing Area: Changes a bit from day to day and seems to depend on the water clarity conditions and movement of the bait schools. Billfish are being found from about 10 miles offshore and then working the areas from northwest and outward bound.

Best Lure/Bait: Rigged baits were hot for the billfish and the luna lures best for the inshore catches.

Bait Supply: Remains very available and not affected by the passing full moon phase.
