From the Crocodile Bay Lodge, Puerto Jiménez
by Todd Staley, Fishing Director
The best way to describe the fishing around here lately would be a little of everything but not a lot of anything. The last few weeks have brought big tuna up to 200 lbs, marlin between 200 and 500 lbs, dorado averaging 25 lbs and as big as 60 lbs, wahoo and sails. Sails have yet to show up in big numbers although there are a few days boats are in the double digits. Things slowed on the big full moon this month, but day by day the numbers are improving.
Inshore brought a 46 lb cubera snapper on 15 lb test. We usually catch a couple of roosters every week over 50 lbs. We had a couple of anglers from England who took six over 50 lbs in one day with the largest going 65 lbs. Our summertime is finally upon us and the water temp is almost ideal. The water is clean with dorado and wahoo hitting just outside the gulf. Looking forward to a good month ahead
