The water temps have increased a couple of degrees over the past couple of weeks and we are hoping to see an improved catch for the white marlin. Only a few were taken a couple weeks back and the bite fizzled and has yet to regain momentum. We are patiently waiting but eager for the bite to take off this season. While the sailfish bite continues on course and the other many species that frequent this are continue to provide good action, the crews are anxiously awaiting the main arrival of the marlin. Our latest fishing report for a total of 30 days fished reflected 8 sailfish, 2 wahoo, 3 Atlantic barracuda, 51 bonito, 2 king mackerel, 16 dorado, 10 blackfin tuna, 1 shark, 3 Spanish mackerel, 9 triggerfish, 2 snapper and 9 grouper, for a 12 fish mixed bag catch.

PM Climate: Partly cloudy but balmy warm days and evenings with temps from 73 nights to 87 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Mostly light & variable tropical surface breezes from the east and water temps that were stale at 81-82 degrees.

Best Bait/Lure: All of the varieties of fish for this are were taken on the fresh ballyhoo baits provided on a daily basis.

Bait Supply: Continues to be uninterrupted with an excellent bait supply on a daily basis.
