[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: The rains we had for the first four days of the week had the[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]port closed. For this late in the year, it is unusual to get as severe of a[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]storm as we had. The wind moved the bluewater out past the 50 mile mark and[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]made fishing for the sailfish a very tough proposition. However, the heavy[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]runoff from the rivers carried a lot of debris, and the 20- to 25-pound[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]dorado fishing has been very good. Some charters, like Bud Keany from the[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Chico area of California, got 5 dorado and one sailfish. They were fishing[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]the Fintastic Billfish Tag and Release Tournament with Capt. Javier on the[/size][/font]
