The majority of the catches were striped marlin, with some boats releasing up to six in a day, whilst other averaged one or two, nevertheless marlin wasn’t the only game in town, we saw a big improvement on dorado catches too. Catches were all over the place this week, starting out on the Pacific off of Land’s End and the Old Lighthouse, then gradually moving into the Cortez to the 95 and 11.50 spots, with the week closing at Punta Gorda and Destiladeres. On July 13th we had several boats with triple marlin days such as Rebecca, C Rod, Ni Modo and actually four for “Andrea” for Julio Manzanarez and party from Spain. Next day out “Ni Modo” equaled the score this time off of the Old Lighthouse for Italian anglers Siliva Sama and Gianmaria Peñasco, with four fish released. “C Rod” had an enviable day on the 17th, with a mixed bag of two striped marlin released, ten yellowfin tuna and two dorado for Stan Orman from Dallas,Texas.
