Z Fish Report (2/6/20)

Another nice photo from Brian Hetland. Note the multiple reflections.

Offshore (average) surface water temperature - Includes from the 5 to 6 mile mark at the 100 fathom line, then to the 1,000 fathom line is about 32 miles: 83° The traditional cooling trend appears to be starting.

Inshore (average) surface temperature - From the beach to about 5 miles: About 81°

Adolfo caught several sailfish for his French clients

Blue-water: (Chlorophyll amounts and surface temperatures from Terrafin SST). Slightly off colored water from the beach to the 100 fathom line, with blue water on out.

action for his French clients

Offshore: like last week, the sailfish and dorado action is still decent. The boats are averaging 3 to 4 raised sailfish a day.  There are a few dorado, but scarce. The yellowfin tuna are not around.

Vico Rust, his brother Luke and dad Mike of Mount  Vernon, WA
fished two days with Cheva on the panga Dos Hermanos II

Inshore: As the captains find areas of slightly less off-colored water, the fishing is improving this week. Adolfo told me it is getting better every day.

Cheva, on the panga Dos Hermanos II also found a nice rooster for his client.
