Z Fish Report (7/15/10)

The 80° blue water is practically on the beach. However, not many boats fished this week, with only 4 or 5 boats going out a day. The fishing is really decent, as each boat fishing the blue water is averaging 2 sailfish a day, and at least 1 dorado of 20-25 pounds.

Santiago, on the super panga Gitana did not fish this week, but submitted this photo of Gary Flanagan with a fly caught sail from last week.

          We have been getting rain at night, with today and yesterday we had rain in the morning and early afternoon. But, the fishing has not been affected.
          Adolfo, on the panga Dos Hermanos, fished the beach all week and did excellent on roosters. He told me the water has cleaned up after the heavy rains of a couple of weeks ago and in the last two days he released 11 roosters, with 5 “long releases”. He also told me there are more roosters than jack crevalle.         
          Cheva, on the panga Dos Hermanos II, fished today for roosters, releasing 3 in the rain. They could have had more, but the clients had a good time and wanted to go back to the hotel. The last three days Cheva had been fishing the blue water with a total of 4 sailfish, 2 striped marlin, 3 dorado, and a blue marlin. A great three days anywhere.
