This report from Vargas Sportfishing, Whisky Charters and Mar y
Tierra Sportfishing
Following a week of turmoil in the US and with the airlines,
coupled with weather induced port closures a few boats ventured forth
this past week. The good news is that they found some excellent Dorado
but the fish were highly scattered. The school Yellowfin are still
present and within easy reach. The bad news is that it appears at this
time that we will have several more days of port closures as Hurricane
Juliette passes to our west. As previously mentioned the reports from
now through the end of October will begin to look a little sparse.
This is somewhat twofold. Our major tourist seasons have past and with
them the major amount of anglers. During September and October, many
of the boats will undergo their yearly maintenance and refurbishing
for the upcoming season beginning in November.
Inshore the Roosterfishing has slowed but there are good numbers of
Jack Crevalle, Mackerel and Bonita.
