[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: There are things worse than the fish not biting. One thing[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]the rain in West Linn, Ore. Even with less than ideal conditions, (read[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]half-day every day. Fran not only caught her first dorado ever, but her[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]first saltwater fish ever on pink deceiver. Dr. John, not to be outdone,[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fooled his first jack, a hefty 18-pounder that gave him a lesson in Toro 101[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3](the harder you pull, the harder they pull) on a blue and white Sea Habit.[/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· OFFSHORE: Rough seas made it really difficult to assess conditions. Our[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]clients’ persistence paid off and they had dorado action every day.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· INSHORE: The action we had seen last week at the lighthouse dried up[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]this week and action picked up back towards La Ribera.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· BEACH: Forget it until the wind backs off (which it did today, 4/9).[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Later in the week should see the action pick back up.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BILLFISH - Few boats, little action.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]YELLOWFIN TUNA - Still there, just tough to find in rough conditions.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]DORADO - No schools, mostly ones and twos.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]ROOSTERFISH - The larger ones are below the lighthouse between Rincon and Las Barracas.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]JACK CREVALLE - The bigger ones are here already.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Slow going this week[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few here and there if you pound the rocky points with[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]a Clouser.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]longfin being reported below Pt. Tasco by yachts making their way back to[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]California. From the Thetis on up the ridge there have also been some[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]yellowfin in the 30- to 60- pound class being caught. Inside the bay, the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]water has cooled off and there has been little action at the entrada. There[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]are halibut at Punta Belcher and maybe a few sierra under the bird schools.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]In the esteros, the old standby Devil’s Curve produced little action this[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]week with only a few spotted bay bass. Los Barriles Estero yielded a 16-[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]pound snook for one client who was grinning from ear to ear when he returned[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]to the launch ramp.[/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]YELLOWTAIL - Cooler water slowed that action down.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]CORVINA - Pier and power plant best bet.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]SNOOK - Patience and tenacity paid off for one client![/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]HALIBUT - Try any of the sandy beaches with a chartreuse Clouser.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]SIERRA - Look for the sardine schools with birds above them.
