Starting with the striped Marlin, they have been around but very inconsistent on the chew. Now their eating anything in their path live bait, lures it doesn’t matter.El Charro has strippers stacked up in the 120-150 lb class. Punta norte has a wide open wahoo bite going on. Purple Marauders, skirted ballyhoos are the ticket. The bite is on the rising tide which at the time I’m writing this is early morning, slack high is at 9:30am Check your charts or ask your captain.

We had fish hitting lures that were just sitting in the water waiting to be cleared after a hookup, crazy stuff. Not much has changed with the Dorado front they are everywhere. Most of the fish are small in the 10 pound range but, if you find the shark buoys that haven’t been fished that day they are holding bulls in the 30-40 lb range.

The ridge between the North end of Cerralvo and La Reina are holding Tuna we are picking them up on our sonar but not having much luck on getting them to come up. Something is holding them around 80 feet, perhaps a food source like red crabs or calamar. The local pangueros are picking up couple a day but nothing consistent. Perhaps any day now they will start to cooperate. These guys are 40-80 lbs so if you decide to go after them come prepared. You don’t get many chances so 60 lb main line with 50 lb fluoroCarbon is a must.

The spearos are having a hay day on the wahoo. After the tide changes and the fish go off the bite but they are still around and not moving much. Easy pickings for the folks that rather shoot then catch.
