Earlier in the week, Cheva on the panga Dos Hermanos II, while using skirted teasers (no hooks), got 4 small striped marlin on spin gear for his French clients.

Inshore: Roosters are still far between, but they are here. Adolfo has been working the areas up near the Ranch for lots of large sierras, and several roosters.
