It has been
another outstanding weather week. For
the last 2 days we have had a few sporadic lightning storms with some scattered
showers. Humidity has spiked and now it
is feeling very tropical. None of the
rain or lightning has been wind related and the Sea of Cortez has continued to
be calm with surface water temps holding been 78 -79 degrees.
The bite
continues to be inconsistent but is showing some signs of improvement. This
week marlin, dorado, wahoo and tuna were all on our score card.
Lack of surface action has been odd. On any given day we normally do as much
hunting as fishing looking for tailing billfish or sighting dorado, wahoo,
feeding tuna and bird action. Right now
there is almost none of that and most bites have just been blind strikes. Tuna are coming drifting chuck bait and not
boiling or breaking the surface. Most
effective on wahoo has been slow trolling live bait. It has just been a slow pick. Having lots of
patience has been key. We have just been
working hard pounding the water and shaking them out
