A mixed bag of fishing this week. Air has dropped into the 80’s now and water temperatures are slipping as well. For sure, the seasons are transitioning and it seems to be reflected in the fishing and the fish, not to mention it’s like someone threw a switch…there’s very few fishermen now!
Anyway, the breezes are starting to pick up with more regularity now and daily that dictates where and how we fish as well as where we get bait and what types of bait we’ll have for the day. All these variables go into what the daily catch is like.
There’s quite a variety actually.
Surface blue-water species like dorado are still around and you can surely run into a breezing school or two still hanging out in the warmer waters. Likewise, marlin, some tuna and the occasional wahool are still here also. It’s really hard to tell. A few weeks ago when we had 20 boats on the water each day, it gives you a good idea of what’s happening out there. But when there’s only a boat or two out each day, it’s hard to get a complete idea. Like wahoo…the situation is ideal right now, but unless there’s a ton of guys fishing for them, the wahoo could be balled up RIGHT THERE, but no one will know about it!
Anyway, inshore or on those days when the winds are blowing, the inside bite is pretty good. Sierra are more in abundance, but we’re also seeing more pargo and cabrilla too.
