The bite has steadily improved over the past few weeks with the offshore fishing producing good catches of dorado, a few more yellowfin tuna, a few blue marlin and a seriously improved bite on the sailfish. Inshore action, especially around the buoys, continues to be productive for the dorado, but just a bit farther offshore has been producing a few sailfish in the super panga counts, too. Overall counts for the offshore sportfishingg cruisers for 41 fished days reflected 2 blue marlin released, (about 275. lbs.) 30 sailfish, 25 yellowfin tuna, 1 mako shark and 207 dorado. The inshore fishing for 7 super panga days reflected 4 sailfish, 2 shark and 25 dorado.
