IN GENERAL: The 80º blue water is only a mile from the beach. Fishing has been very good for our normal “bread and butter” species: roosterfish, jack crevalle and sailfish. But, the marlin and tuna have pulled a disappearing act. The Schlagel family, of the San Francisco Bay area, fished with captain Cali on the panga “Zapatito Gordo” and released 5 sailfish. However, most boats are averaging a 2 or 3 sailfish day. The roosterfish action has really heated up, with Arturo on the panga “Janeth” recording the best day we have had for a long time. He got 14 roosters for his clients, averaging from about 30- to 45-pounds. The fish were all taken on surface poppers and slow trolled live bait. Anival, the 1st mate of the “Don Gordo,” took clients out to the White Rocks and nailed a 60 pound rooster, 28 pound pargo, and several large jacks. (Anival has taken over the helm of the “Don Gordo” now that Captain Poli has his new boat, the “Don Gordo II”.)
