The sailfish bite has started and moved into full swing. Even better, the first white marlin was landed the other day by a group fishing aboard the "Mojito". While the fishing has really developed over the past week or so, the weather popped up for a couple of days and closed the port to all traffic. Now that things have settled back to fair seas and calmer conditions, the boats will be back out chasing the billfish bite, along with all of the other varieties of mixed bag catches that are available at this time of year. The overall fish report for a total of 30 days fished reflected 1 white marlin, 15 sailfish, 39 bonito, 5 giant barracuda, 1 blackfin tuna, 1 amberjack, 1 Spanish mackerel, 39 snappers, 6 grouper, 35 banana fish, 39 triggerfish 17 cuchas, (reef fish) and a handful of miscellaneous for their efforts. All in all, an excellent 5-day fishing period for the boats.
