Fish Report for 8-19-2026

Variety speaks

Another fantastic day of variety ridge action with plenty of bites to go around. Completely satisfied with results on the banks we headed offshore for the afternoon in search of anything hosting wahoo and dorado. We were not disappointed. A large area of beautiful grade dorado provided epic action. Extra thrilling was a mix of jumbo, "Chin Slapper" grade fish that had everyone sight fishing the big bulls clearly visible among hoards of their smaller brethren. To cap all off the weather was flat calm making for a smooth ride and perfect window into the depths of crystal clear tropical blue water. Taking leave of the sauna like conditions tomorrow will find us working up along the beach in full scenic mode. Today's images feature Royal Star friends and veterans Barney Wegener with a beautiful bonus pargo taken on the mid day dropper loop, and Ron Hobson with one of the jumbo "chin slapper" grade dorado. A final image from the bridge window features the mirror glass conditions mid afternoon.
