East Cape Guides Report - August 14, 2013

Fishing has been really steady, everyday we are getting good numbers of tuna, mostly footballs with a handful from 60-80#. Marlin and dorado bite has been really consistent with a few blues being caught every few days. The striped marlin are very aggressive this year and will return to the bait on a missed hook up...great for my clients that want to hook their own marlin. Dorado are in the 10-40# range with nice bulls to 50# coming in everyday. The pangero Carlene on Mini Hooker baited another swordfish yesterday but no go. Still no sardinas, but the squid is in early this year and we are seeing many commercial squid boats off of Buena Vista. What else...weather is really nice for August this year, not too humid. It's just starting to heat up and get humid right now. Water is 88ish and fish are spread out North and South to lighthouse. All in all, a very good summer for fishing so far.
