According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the offshore fishing has lagged this past week with a few billfish and smaller dorado, but lots of floating debris around from the river runoffs. He projects the fishing will increase dramatically in the offshore areas in the next week or so as the overall conditions for the area are absolutely perfect. Water clarity and temperature is perfect and there is good supplies of bait throughout the area, so it's just a matter of time and the fish getting on the feed biomass. The inshore waters are producing some record sized roosterfish that ranged to 80 lbs. this past week and that was exciting news that truly kept the inshore anglers on their toes and alert through the day.
I/Z Climate: Another warm & humid area for the tropics, with temps ranging from 69 nights to 92 daytime highs and mostly cloudy days with a chance for an occasional thunder shower.
Sea Conditions: Superb, warm and clean waters with the blue water beginning inside the 100 fathom curve and holding stable temps throughout the area at 87-88 degrees. Nearly flat conditions with very light surface breezes.
Best Bait/Lure: Live bait and the poppers working best for the roosterfish and the big jack crevalles. The offshore fish still eager on the rigged trolling baits.
Best Fishing Area: The roosterfish are in the Pantla Beach and antenas areas. The offshore fish is in the blue water at the 100 fathom curve and outbound from there.
Bait Supply: This is one of those areas that seldom has a problem with bait supply and 99.9% of the time, there is a great supply of both, fresh baits for rigging and live baits for those that wish that ammunition. Live bait for tthis are remains a bargain at about $5.00 per dozen.
