Could the early wahoo bite experienced during the past few weeks be the beginning of an unusual season? More striped marlin seem to be arriving every day, but they haven't settled down and the bite can only be described as sporadic.

There has also been a scratch on nice-sized dorado, though they are few and far between. The better quality pompano showed up at the Lighthouse this week. More were lost than caught but still they provided plenty of fun. There has also been a good show of roosters and jacks feeding on some the largest sardina I have ever seen.

Demonstrating the difference from the surface water temps to deeper water is that remarkably, the yellowtail are still around with some nice ones being caught in front of La Ribera.

Good going to Captain Steve Lassley aboard Bad Company! It was reported that Anthony Hsieh caught another SWORDFISH...this time a 240 pound in 13 minutes, plus five striped marlin, baiting maybe forty. He was casting lookdowns at 'em...which he commented was too funny, like casting a Frisbee.

All the early season signs point to a season that is ready to break wide open soon.
