Fishing continued to be wide open this week down on the East Cape. This week started off with a bang when the Balihoo arrived early from a day of fishing and to everyone’s surprise, they had a 172# yellowfin tuna. It was the first real cow that we had seen this season, so the fleet was excited. A few hours later a 109# wahoo came to the dock. This was by far the biggest wahoo of the season to add to an already incredible wahoo season. The dorado also improved and we saw some of the biggest dorado of the season come to the dock this week. The biggest of the week came from the gang from Keep’n It Reel with their very impressive 63# bull on Tuesday. They also landed 4 other dorado over 40#. Tuesday was also a great day for Tuna with a pair of cows coming to the dock. One was landed on the Bite Me weighed in at 103# and the other was landed on La Migra weighed in at 115#. The next two days brought wind to the East Cape, but fishing continued as usual. We saw lots of billfish, Tuna, dorado and even some nice pargo.
Today the 7th annual Keep’n It Reel Fish and Chips tournament was held and it was quite a day for the Kahlua as they took the $4,000 top prize with their 150# yellowfin Tuna. The top dorado prize went to the El Borracho with a 59# dorado. Tonight will be the award ceremony bikini contest, so I am cutting this report short and getting out there to make sure I get a good seat. Until next week amigos!
