The sails have been teasing anglers lately by floating on the surface with their sails proudly displayed but turning down all offerings. Just a couple of days ago 6 to 8 a day were charging baits. Recent offshore catches include small marlin in the 200 to 240 lb range, wahoo to 50 lbs and a few dorado.
Inshore the action has been consistant with roosterfish readily taking baits. Flor de Maria Cuarda took a dozen roosters with 2 that went over 50 lbs and Ella Gunst took a couple to 35 lbs. Ty Vischer added a nice 25 lb snapper to an inshore catch. With the Canadian, Alaskan season winding down we are seeing more anglers and offshore numbers will soon return to normal. The humpback whalers have moved into th gulf with their young and will be around till mid October so the fishing is always interesting when watching mothers teaching the youngsters how to herd sardines and breach.
