Considering the numbers of dorado being taken and the warm offshore waters, it can just be a matter of time before the black & blue marlin move into the area. The water temperatures are near perfect throughout the area and it's getting close to the beginning of the summertime billfish action. While the numbers of offshore trips remains low, there is good action to be had with opportunities for the sailfish and of course, the dorado, too. This past week reflected only 5 offshore fishing days that produced 2 sailfish released and 24 dorado, with most of the dorado in the 20+ lb. range. The inshore super pangas were doing extraordinarily well and reflected limit fishing for dorado and plenty of release opportunities. This is a light-line anglers' fishing dream when the dorado move under the buoys and chew on most everything that moves through the water from artificials, live bait, strip bait and fly streamers, too. These fish are currently being very aggressive and providing top-notch action for the anglers. Overall inshore fish counts for 4 super panga fishing days reflected more than 30 dorado were released for their 4 days fished.
