In the dark of the moon
The outstanding fishing we have been experiencing most of this season has slowed. In fact I would call this week the toughest fishing of the summer. That is not to say we are not having success. It is just not insanely good like it has been.
Billfish have become hard to find. Fish we do find are jugged with squid and don't want to bite. Tuna have not wanted to cooperate as well. There are lots of porpoise schools holding tuna 20 to 40 miles off shore but the fish have become boat shy and also line shy. Even the inshore roosterfish have become lethargic and are not aggressive.
It is a little odd that coming off the dark of the moon game fish don't want to go. It kind of shoots down the full moon theory as the last 2 full moons have been full speed fishing. I believe it is because there is so much squid in the water. If you ate Snickers bars all day you might not want lunch.
Looking at the photos I have posted below conditions certainly aren't bad. We are just working harder to make it happen.

Hard to get the marlin to go

Tom Bocarelli and his buddies had a couple of tough days but hung in and it paid off.

The wind blew one day so we decided to stay inside and filled the box with nice snapper
