Hola Amigos,
The fishing down here continues to get better as we head into the summer months. Each week the fishing has improved from the week before. This week was another great week for Tuna. We saw some nice size tuna ranging from 97 lbs. down to football size tuna. Most boats came back with plenty of tuna to fill their ice chest. One boat this week came back with 22 tunas in one day. The Rude Boy with captain Chuy on board had an outstanding day this past Sunday, landing 9 tuna (97 lbs., 84 lbs, 35 lbs., and on down) along with a 450 lb. blue marlin. This was truly an epic day on the water. The dorado fishing continues to be a bit slow, with approximately 15 dorados coming back to the docks each day. We expect that to change quickly as the dorado are our bread and butter down here in the East Cape. We are still seeing lots of Striped Marlin being caught and released, but with the great tuna bite, most anglers are not too concerned with landing marlin. The inshore fishing is holding up pretty well, with some nice roosters and lady fish being landed from the beach near Punta Colorada.
We currently have three tournaments going on down here at Hotel Palmas De Cortez, so I expect to have some great news to report next week. The weather down here is a very comfortable 90 degrees in the day and dropping down to the upper 70’s at night. Water temperatures continue to be in the upper 70’s to low 80’s. It’s a great time to be down here, so if you haven’t made your plans to come down, it’s not too late. That’s it for this week my friends.
Until next week!
