Overall, however, the boats wound up with near limit fishing for the overall average, with 227 dorado reported for 30 days fished, all at the shark buoys. The \"Aries I\" and \"Aries III\" reported the only sailfish for the week, for their two offshore fishing days.

Sea Conditions: Mostly calm with very light surface breezes and little swell, temps holding stable at 85-86 degrees

Best Bait/Lure: Live bait was best this week, but plenty of fish were taken on the artificials and strip baits.

Best Fishing Area: Continues to be at the shark buoys for the dorado.
