Well, we sure saw a lot of rain over the week of 26 May thru the first of June. It was the first time anyone around here can remember the port captain calling all boats back inside Matapalo Rock (on the 29th). However, Matthew Oakes and his father Jerry and sister Kathy had the time of their lives.
- The first day they raised 4 sailfish and each released one, nice for this time of year. Peak Sailfish season is from December until April.
- The second day they caught 20 fish before lunch and called it a day, and what a day it was: 11 Rooster Fish (ranging from 15#-40#), 2 Red Snapper (Cola amarilla about 5# each), 6 Jack Crevalle (10-20#) and one Bluefin Trevally.
- The next day found them chasing spinner dolphin offshore and getting a few Yellow Fin Tuna (3 at 50# and 2 at around 25#).
- After a day of no fishing due to weather, they found the tuna again and teamed up on one 150 pounds. Another ran 70 pounds and yet another 125 pounds and they were done for the day.
