If you’ve been reading my weekly reports you know that we’re now in the middle of the best time of the year to get that “Bucket List” fish of a lifetime. But that doesn’t mean fishing is a “No-Brainer” at all. There are always challenges when fishing and sometimes a blessing can turn into a challenge as well. For now we’ve seen the action take a step back as more of those Krill Shrimps move into the area. Dorado, Sailfish etc. are still taking bait, but when you open up the “bait”, they’re full of Krill. Not impossible to overcome, but when you’re on fish and they won’t take your bait, it could be the Krill!
Corbetena has been interesting this week, with mostly dirty water out to Corbetena the fishing is a bit weird. We should be seeing Black and Blue Marlin but they’re absent without leave aka AWOL. There are a few out there of course, but nobody has had a hookup. Now that’s the bad news, the good news is we still have Yellowfin Tuna in the 40 to 80 lb range. Dorado are still running at 25 to 35 lbs, Sailfish in close to tournament winning sizes. Cubera Snappers are also taking trolled baits and are running in the 50 to 60 lb range. Mostly blue water in the area with increased bait. Krill normally move out in a few days and I predict the Dorado fishing will pick up again shortly. With mature trash lines and increased bait in the area a ten hour trip is well worth the fuel dollar!
