[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Several tournaments held over the weekend with rules favoring billfish catches caused the counts to spike upward last weekend for blues and stripers. Sailfish were the only ones in which the count dropped. The tuna bite seemed to evaporate for the moment throughout the bay. Weather remained unsettled with some rain along the coast as well as up in the foothills.[/size][/font]

[size 3]·[/size] [font "Times New Roman"][size 3]OFFSHORE: Definitely not a slam dunk. Billfish dominated the action with dorado providing enough action to keep the anglers awake.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[size 3]·[/size] [font "Times New Roman"][size 3]INSHORE: Stay out of the off-color water and pay attention. There are plenty of quality roosters and jacks to play with.[/size][/font]

[size 3]·[/size] [font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BEACH: Still tough with the off-color water caused by runoff is making it tough this week.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BILLFISH - Plenty of volume, just no concentration. As soon as they settle down it should get interesting.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]YELLOWFIN TUNA - The few found are rats.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]DORADO - Some of the boats made a three hour run up toward Las Cruces[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]where the Sargasso has bloomed with disappointing results. It is just too much of a hit or miss deal. You are better off staying closer to the hotel.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]SIERRA - They are still here, so much for being a winter fish. Use wire or chum flies![/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Here is what our client Eric Ersch had to say about the week’s fishing: “Enrique is the most service-oriented panga guide I’ve met. From the coffee at his home in the morning, to the catch of the day filleted and delivered to the restaurant, he was great! Thank you very much for the recommendation. He said to tell Gary that we did release the 2 snook that we caught. We had alright action fishing up to Devil’s Curve, and good fishing at the Entrada. My friend got his first yellowtail on the fly there. Thanks again . . [/size][/font]
