SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW?
Early this week we experienced some rain. Then we got more rain. I was beginning to think it would never stop but after 3 days it finally did. This
weather brought low pressure that not only made boat rides uncomfortable it also shut the great fishing we were experiencing right down.
Then the rain stopped and the tuna popped. The bite has been a little different every day but boats willing to go the distance and take the time have
been rewarded with limits. The fish have been from 20 to 35 miles off shore. Sometimes we are finding them with spotted dolphin and sometimes they
are just breezing.
Most mornings, using our gyro binoculars, we have been able to spot working birds in the distance which is always where the tuna are feeding. Finding
the fish doesn't mean they are going to bite right way though. Yesterday first thing in the morning the tuna charged the boat and bit everything in
the water. The day before they were foaming around the boat but we couldn't buy a bite. It was a matter of just working hard, having patience and
waiting until the fish decided to cooperate.
I had a little difficulty with a group this week that didn't have the faith or patience and made me leave the scene before making the score. It was
very frustrating to go the distance, find the fish and have to leave them. I learned many years ago you don't leave fish to go find fish.
It has been a little inconsistent for boats targeting Marlin, Dorado and roosterfish. Sometimes they will go but it is the tuna that has been pure
action.
Below I have posted a few random photos from this week of smiling anglers.
