Weekly Fishing Report

Archives

January 5th -  2003 will go down as one of the best fishing seasons in the last ten years. We saw good Tuna & Wahoo fishing, starting in January and running through to May.

June, July & August was some of the best Marlin fishing ever seen on this island, with “De MAKO” finally breaking the magical 50 Blue Marlin mark! The final total for “De MAKO” was 56 Blue Marlins.

Then, hurricane “ Fabian” tried its best to screw things up in September, but the fish would not have it. The Wahoo & Tuna bite got red hot again in October and the fishing remained good all the way through December.  What a year!

No report for this month

March 7th -  This weekend marked the start of the season for “De MAKO” and what a great start! The first trip, with Johnny & friends, saw us catching 18 Yellowfins, one Wahoo and a few Rainbows & Bonitas.

Second trip, with Hamish’s crew, saw much the same, with 20 Yellowfins, one Wahoo & Bonitas.  Actually, the fishing has been great all year, with plenty of Tuna action on the inside of Challenger bank.  From the beginning of the year, Joey & Margaret on the “Gringo “ have had many good Tuna catches. Maybe this season will match up to last year's great one - it sure has had an early start!

For all you whale watchers, we saw two Humpback’s on the SW edge yesterday.  We can expect to see more everyday, with the best of it usually happening sometime between the last week of March to the middle of April.

March 30th -  It’s the end of March, the Whales are here, the fishing is as good as it gets and the weather is.. well, you can’t have it all - it is March, after all!

As you know, the Yellowfin's have been putting on a good show, for sometime now, but now the Wahoo's have kicked it, too.

De MAKO’ s first all day trolling trip was on Saturday, producing 19, with 12 over 40lbs. Nice fish, nice people & a nice day!
