A front blew through here this week and really changed things from last week. Wind, rain, and a rough ocean made our calm tropical Pacific Ocean look like the first episode of Gilligan's Island. Those would toughed it out were rewarded with some nice fish but the numbers dropped considerably from last week.
Ron Kapplow brought down his group of "Funfishers" from Florida and they landed on the day of the storm. The first day only brought three sails a mixed bag of dorado and tuna and a 60 lb rooster saved the day. Day two picked up some when Greg Kapplow took his first blue marlin and a mixed bag of dorado, tuna, and wahoo made dinner plates.
The Gaebe family was ready to have me "swim with the fishes" until they took top prize offshore on day three with a sail, 17 dorado and 13 tuna. Clear skies and a flat ocean have returned as the boats left the dock this morning so things should return to normal.
