[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]IN GENERAL: After two months of steady tuna action, it seems that the schools have broken up or moved further offshore. With a large billfish tournament scheduled for this weekend, the focus has shifted to the pointy-nosed ones. Fair action has been reported outside of Punta Pescadero all the way up to Isla Cerralvo for everything from sailfish to blues which are the target for the upcoming tournament. Dorado fishing, while lacking in quantity, has produced a few of the larger variety scattered throughout Las Palmas bay. [/font][/size]
