We hosted 3 groups this January and quite frankly the fishing was so-so, to say the least. Pretty much all days suffered from strong wind, bad sea conditions and brown water at the coast, resulting in poor topwater action, and very few good fish on popper.
First group was 3 lovely couples from England. Here is the fish count from Mike: "So we ended the trip with 21 species - 66 jack crevalles, 44 black skipjack, 14 amberjacks, 5 broomtail groupers, 4 horse eyed jacks and a series of ones and twos of assorted other species". That does not seem too bad at first sight, but most of the jacks were very small, and no roosters or cubera were boated.

Second group was Dan & Brett, who fished 3 days with the same mixed results and slow action on popper. hopefully the jigging was quite good, and the pair landed quite a few nice amberjacks.

Last group was a father and son from Brazil, and once again the speed-jigging and the amberjacks saved the trip. The son Marcelo got around 25 big amberjacks over 25 pounds, including a fair amount weighting north of 40 pounds, and got reefed quite a few times.
