East Cape - Getting nervous
East Cape weather has been spectacular this week with warm sunny days and flat seas. Water temperature has been hanging around 80 degrees and bait has become abundant. On some days there has even been a limited amount of sardines available.

Until now the bite of most of this season has been very spotty and I was starting to get nervous. This week gamefish decided to come to the party. Porpoise schools holding tuna have been found to the north and to the south from 5 to 25 miles off shore. Most of the tuna have been dinks but there have been a few of the larger models to a 180 pounds coming to the scales. Wahoo have also been on the bite along with a few blue marlin. Striped marlin have been in packs and the most consistent. On several occasions we could see four or five marlin at once charging our lures. It is very exciting and always causes what I call c-ckpit chaos.
