It was a HOT one day, with temperatures close to 92 degrees! As temperatures rose so did the billfish action. Offshore boats reported releasing white marlin,blue marlin, sailfish and put some tuna, dolphin and even a wahoo in their boxes. Limits of tilefish were also caught and will make for a tasty fish fry. Nearshore full days lead to limits of dolphin, limits of tilefish and a few seabass. One of the tilefish caught was a citation size golden line tile at 11 pounds. On half day trips reports consisted of bluefish and spanish mackerel! As the summer is coming to a close the billfish action is heating up; and just in time for the Pirates Cove Billfish Tournament!!!
