[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: The 80º blue water is close to the beach and the fishing is[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]excellent. Most boats are going out and getting 4 to 5 sailfish per day. The[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]added bonus has been the influx of the 25- to 35-pound dorado we are getting[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]from 6- to 12-miles out. In addition to the sailfish, the boats are also[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]getting 3 to 5 of these nice dorado.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]The school-size yellowfin tuna are between 25- and 30-miles out and boats[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]targeting them are averaging 10 to 15 a day. The fish are averaging 20- to[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]40-pounds.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Fly fishing for the sailfish has also been outstanding. There are a lot of[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fish here to tease up and the angler is getting numerous shots at them.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Graeme Alexander, a salmon fly-fishing guide from Tofino, Canada, fished[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]with Santiago and I on the panga Gitana. He hooked three sailfish on the one[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]day he fished.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]The Gaby, with captain Margarito not only got 5 sailfish, and 3 dorado in[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]off the beach.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]The roosterfish are the only gamefish that had a slow week. It is probably[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]due to the large influx of tourists and a lot of fishing pressure. They do[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]not stick around very long when under a lot of pressure.[/size][/font]
