East Cape crazy, crazy!
Yes, it has been a crazy, crazy week. We started out with a red hot striped marlin bite but as the week progressed it got tougher and tougher. Also, larger yellowfin showed but that was short lived and turned into straight football sized fish. The billfish are still here in big numbers but getting them to go continues to be difficult. While the stripers are not cooperating larger tuna reappeared yesterday and it is kind of a right spot at the right time thing.

We have been pretty lucky with the larger tuna and all of them have been coming on Halco Lazer Pro 190's. Dinks are taking the cedar plugs, hoochies and tuna clones but the Halcos are attracting all the quality. We did get a couple bites on a kite bait yesterday but none stuck.

To add to the chaos blue marlin and sailfish have started to show. Also there are still dorado on score cards and broadbill swordfish have been showing on the tuna grounds everyday.

If that is not enough excitement the Pacific is experiencing the first hurricane of the season. Amanda developed rapidly and puffed up to 150 MPH winds. It appears she is departing as quick as her arrival without hitting land fall or causing damage. Yikes, we are going to have to start looking over our shoulder early this season. I hope this storm brings us some much needed rain.
