The variety on a daily basis is just amazing and while not all of the fish caught are considered game fish, most are fun to catch fish and enormously entertaining for family fishing groups and novice anglers. This past week's fishing offered a wide variety of mixed-bag catches that included a couple of sailfish, 7 dorado, 10 king mackerel, 72 bonito, (the fish of the week) 10 giant Atlantic barracuda, 7 blackfin tuna, 2 wahoo, 1 porgy fish, 5 amberjack, 8 soap fish, 9 banana fish, 35 strawberry fish, 13 triggerfish, 7 snappers and 37 grouper, a total of 16 species of fish caught for 36 days fished.

PM Climate: Mostly cloudy with a slight chance for rain Thursday thru Sunday. Temps ranging from 66 nights to 82 daytime highs with mostly cloudy skies.

Sea Conditions: Overall, continues to be very good for this area with temps holding stable at 80-81 degrees and surface breezes from 5-15 mph, mostly coming from the northerly directions and light swell conditions.

Best Bait: This area continues to select the ballyhoo as the bait of choice for all of the sportfishers and the supply continues to be excellent, caught fresh on a daily basis for the boats.
