No footballs, no dinks. This spring has been all
about quality not quantity.
Last week tuna fishing just started to get in gear
when the winds came up and made it impossible
for boats to travel outside to the tuna grounds.
Yesterday the wind subsided and the tuna fishing
picked up right where it had left off. Most fish have
been between 30 and 100 pounds. Normally spring
brings smaller football sized tuna and the larger
fish start to show as summer approaches. Not this
year! It has been straight summertime sized fish.
Something odd, is that the tuna are traveling with
bottlenosed and not the white sided dolphin. As the
sea temp warms, Spotted and Spinner dolphin
should show and that is when it really goes ballistic.
Large schools of summertime sized dorado have
also shown up under patches of sargasso grass and
are cooperating with anglers. None of those little
spring time schoolies, these fish are bending rods
and anglers are getting their moneys worth.
Billfish are also in the game. Huge schools of
greenback mackerel have shown up near Punta
Pescadero and the striped marlin are on the attack.
