Captain Temo Verboonen, skipper of the "Secuestro De Amor", reported "very exciting fishing this past week along the coastline that produced good action on the jack cravalle and roosterfish. The fish were schooling and chasing the bait balls all over, from the Valentin River thru Guamilule Point, (near the White Rocks). It was especially good fishing for the spinning tackle enthusiasts and the fly fishing anglers". Still not very many boats getting out, but for those that do, the fishing has been terrific for both, inshore and offshore action. Anglers wishing to catch sailfish and marlin in the blue water, should consider being here this month for the fast action that continues to produce multiple billfish release opportunities each day.
