Captain Temo Verboonen offered a down-sided fishing report this week and said the waters for his area had changed from clean blue to an off-colored green and that the blue water had moved far offshore, resulting in a substantial decrease in the catching for the anglers. He reported, "fish bite slow and no concentration in any of the normal areas. The marlin bit a little but not near like it was the week before and the skippers are having to cover a lot of water for the strikes they are getting". The inshore action is providing plenty of Jack Cravalle, (mostly in the bigger, 20-25 lb. ranges) along with many bonitos and even a few roosterfish, providing good action and fun for the light tackle anglers.

IZ Climate: Sunny today and then turning to partly cloudy days for the next several days with temps from 70 nights to 89 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Calm for the most part with light & variable surface breezes. Sea temps from shore to 100 fathoms held at 82, rising to 84 out to the 1000 fathom curve and rising to 86 beyond the 1000 fathom curve. Green water from near shore and out to the 1000 fathom curve.

Best Fishing Area: No concentration of fish inside the 1000 fathom curve, albeit, a few billfish strikes and dorado strikes, the better fishing is far offshore and may require a 10-hour fishing day.

Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits were best for the billfish strikes but the green water has plagued the fish bite for this area and the skippers are waiting for clarity changes.

Bait Supply: Remains plentiful for both, live bait and rigged baits.
