The charters are starting up this week, but we were out once last week before the big downpour. There are not a lot of fisherman down here yet. But we had lots of nice flat days and the weather was bearable. The dry northwest winds were up today and they will be blowing a few days this week. The water is clear and in the 85-87 degree range. It's just about perfect for swimming, and soon fishing. We released two sails the day we were out. The water is still warm and we passed but one marlin sleeping on the surface. We also caught a few small dorado and a couple of big Sierras. The fish seem to be all over but not in great numbers. The sails are large but the dorado are still barely keepers. We passed a couple of floating logs, and they should be attracting fish now. I got out for a couple of hours on Friday in close around the Seamounts for a few big Sierras. The inshore fish are getting active. The fishing should pick up here before the full moon and we'll be on the water. by Bryan Replogle, Team Margarita Sportfishing, repsilon@aol.com (photo by Fernando Almada, Catch 22 Sportsfishing)
