Marlin bite, lines go tight!
The week started out with breezy weather and a tough bite. Working hard we were still able to scratch out a fish or two everyday and managed to get a few of the folks that fished with us the experience of catching their first marlin.
As the week progressed weather calmed and game fish went on the rampage. From Punta Pescadero to Punta Arena boats are sighting marlin jumping, tailing and feeding on baitfish in a frenzy. Mixed with the marlin are a few quality dorado and sailfish. Schools of bait that was just puddling early in the week is now balled up tight and being pushed around by gamefish.
In shore is going off as well with Roosterfish on the feed.
It seems the Sea of Cortez has come alive. Not only are anglers experiencing excellent fishing they are sighting a parade of interesting sea life. Sea turtles, porpoise and whales are putting on a show.
I was able to capture an incredible amount of great photos this week and have posted some of my favorites

Lucky break! This fish was never hooked but we were able to bring it to the boat for a release.

The bite is so good I couldn't stand it and got in on the action.
