According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the waters have rolled over and changed from the deep blue to a greenish, off-color, and moved offshore to 20 miles and beyond, discouraging the fish from biting the baits. He said the fish bite has slowed throughout the area for both, inshore and offshore action. The overall catches for the boats reflected a couple of marlin, a few sailfish and a few dorado, and until the water cleans, it's likely to be difficult fishing for the boats. There is still lots of fish showing up for the inshore boats but even those fish are being skittish and tend to spook to the deep on the feel of the approaching boat. Temo says you get 1 or 2 chances at the inshore fish before they spook and then, you have to wait for them to re-surface and try again. Most of the inshore fish are still the bonito, Sierra and jack crevalle and only an occasional roosterfish.

Best Lure/Bait: Most of the offshore fish were taken on the rigged trolling baits and the inshore fish were best on live baits.
