East Cape-Half way across the pond


East Cape-Half way across the pond

Our weather has turned very hot and humid with water temperatures ranging from 85 to 88 degrees. The warm water certainly has not hurt the fishing.

This week yellowfin tuna have made the best showing of the season. After a couple week lull it is WFO for boats choosing to go the distance. Fish have been on porpoise schools from 25 to 50 miles off shore. Yikes! 50 miles off shore is half way across the pond. The tuna have been good grade with very few dinks in the mix. Blue marlin, sailfish, roosterfish and an odd wahoo are also providing good action closer to shore.

Recently I have heard all this chatter about how this is an off year and how the El Niņo has adversely affected our fishing. All I can say is not in my book.

On a side note, It is always a treat to see orcas in the wild. This week we sighted a couple of female orcas while fighting a sailfish. It was unusual to not see a whole pod which always includes a large male. Also it is obvious sea turtles will be making their march on our beaches to lay their eggs soon. Now we are sighting a great many every day. They are like a Baja cow in that they won't get off the road. Skippers have to pay close attention to avoid hitting them.


We had a little father versus son contest. The 4 young boys thought they had it in the bag all limiting out with a total of 20 tuna. The 2 dads returned to the dock with only 10 tuna which was also limits. I call it a draw.


Boys having fun


Tuna take over the spotlight

Wahoo in the mix
