The offshore scene has been seeing its ups and downs. On days when there is wind blowing, the fishing has been very good. On days when the wind is calm or very light, the fish are spreading out and it takes a lot of searching and some luck to put together a decent catch. If you are out on a day when there is north current in on the reef, the fishing is good. When the current moves out, the best bet is to find the current edge and fish it no matter how deep the water is. Both trolling and live baiting will produce fish, with live baiting being more productive on most days. By fishing the entire water column, you'll be able to zero in on what method the fish prefer on any given day.
Tino Poo and his associates Felipe Echeverri and Romano Arango got in a 3/4 day of fishing. The weather was perfect and the fish co-operated. Fishing on the edge, the birds put us on several dolphin in the 5 - 10 pound class. Slow trolling in closer in the blue/green water added a kingfish and a nice 12# dolphin to the fish box. Add a shark and bonito to round out the catch for another good fishing trip aboard Knot Nancy. Back at TNT Marine Center after cleaning the fish, everyone went home with enough fillets and steaks for several meals.
