In a word, inconsistent
East Cape conditions continue to be outstanding. Short sleeve weather daily with water temps ranging from 74 to 78 degrees. These conditions are unheard of for early April but we are enjoying it. Traffic has also been very light and there are not many boats fishing right now.
The bite has been very inconsistent. One day it is constant action and the next it is a struggle to find fish. It has just been hard to stay on the fish consistently and we even got the goose egg one day. This week striped marlin have been providing most of the show with fewer dorado in the mix. Good news is the dorado landed seem to be a little better quality and the odd wahoo now and then is also being taken.
It is hard to figure but some days live bait has not been available and anglers have had to resort to only having ballyhoo. We are sighting huge schools of flying fish off shore and also watching birds feeding on red crabs. Also a couple of broadbill were sighted this week which gets my heart pumping.
Some days stripers are everywhere
Some days they are hard to find.
Pat wanted a dorado for 70th B-day
Pat's wish came true
Lots of frigate birds tell me the fish aren't far
Feeding on red crabs. How do they do that?
Throwing the bait but not the hook
Diego hard at work
Diego when the boss is not on the boat.
