Salinas
Cool water has kept the marlin fishing relatively slow with some striped marlin sighted. Some wahoo fishing has been reported past few days in the closer reefs.
Peru
Cabo Blanco
Colder water 68/69 F has made for the absence of marlin. Bonito and big eye tuna have been present near the coast as local skiffs are catching them. No action from marlin has been reported in the last few weeks.
