Fish Report 4th Dec '07

Since the previous weekend the fishing here has held steady and during the last week went off on Wednesday 28th with boats releasing up to 35 sails on the baits and into double figures on the fly. A-Fin-Ity with owner Davis Clapp last week released 100 sails in 5 days of fishing, alot of those days were late starts and back to the dock early once they'd acheived their goals for the day. Friday 30th saw the best bite at around 12-15NM with boats releasing up to 20 sails on the bait and 7 on the fly with still the odd marlin being seen.
On the weekend the marlin made their presence felt with boats raising up to 5 and a good mix of sails and dorado as well with the average boat releasing a dozen or more sails. Sunday the marlin started to bite with all the boats out there getting in on the action and seeing at least a couple of marlin a piece and all the boats bar a couple came in flying a marlin flag or two. Coupled with a good saifish bite, good fishing all round.
Yesterday the 3rd Dec, the fleet went out wide chasing the marlin bite and were not let down with most boats getting into some blue marlin action though the sailfish bite out there was a little slow. Meanwhile, right here at the bottom of the pocket at just 9-12NM Tom Boyce with solo angler Bruno Gilbert on Que Vela! had some great sailfish action raising around 25 and getting 15 bites on the bait. With well over 40 seen tailing and free jumping the sails are there in numbers though a little lazy with all the bait stacked up inside. They seem to be feeding on minnows and were spitting up wads of bait once hooked. The odd blue is still around inshore as well with Spindrift releasing a blue of around 180lb, this fish was also spitting up plenty of bait. With the amount of fish and bait around it all looks good.
Out wide there are groups of spinners and yellowfin tuna in with them, you can expect some dorado action and by all accounts the marlin bite is as good as it gets. Sailfish inshore with the chance of a shot at a blue means world-class fishing all round.
