Weekly Fishing Report

Archives

January 27th - With most of January’s slow fishing behind us, let’s hope February’s fishing shows some improvement. Although February & March typically are very windy months, some years the Wahoo fishing can be good, on those rare days you can get out.

We did not see any improvement in the fishing in January, but surprisingly there were quite a few Humpback Whales around. Normally, we don’t see many until March, but for some reason they are here early this year.  Maybe that is a sign that we are going to get an early spring!

De Mako will be starting up in March and bookings are coming in steady.  Can’t wait! Hurry up summer!

No report for this month

March 18th - March has been a very windy month, with even the commercial fishermen having very few trips offshore.

De Mako did manage to get offshore for the first time, yesterday, despite the threat of rain and wind.  We found fishing still to be slow, with only 5 Wahoo bites for the day and a final tally of 3 Wahoos boated.  We didn’t even get a bite, until we reached Argus, although we marked a little bait on the inside edge of Challenger, but no fish would take the bait!  We saw some Whales up on the SW edge, in the afternoon, but by then it was so rough, they were hard to get close to.
