This week still we had some inconsistent fishing.

This week still we had some inconsistent fishing.  The sardine are still missing from our local waters.  We have been able to use cocinero, balihoo and zebra to catch some dorado lingering around the bay and the rooster are still in full action.  Fisherman at Punta Arena have found that trolling for snapper has proven to be successful with boats bringing in at least a couple each day weighing in the 20-40lb range.  Mixed in with these snapper are some nice cabrilla and some very large rooster.  If you were trolling a bait near the shores of Punta Arena you were pretty much guaranteed to hook a nice rooster that put up a good fight.   Fisherman have both spotted and caught a large number of Marlin, releasing most back into the ocean.  Some of these Marlin have been up to 250lbs.  The buoys haven't had many dorado under them but occasionally when you did find one it was big.  Some dorado were brought in weighing up to 50lbs.  We had a glimmer of hope with a nice bait ball of large mackeral showing up at the end of the week.  These were perfect bait fish and hopefully more dorado will be headed our way.  Fisherman in the photos are, Crissy and Pete Teichmann with rooster, dorado and Marlin just before release.
