Fish Report – Iman Bank & La Fortuna
This week brought a mixed tuna bite: on one hand, giant tuna that require patience and dedication (often much of the day for that one bite); on the other, excellent action on 10–30 lb tuna perfect for all levels. Add to that wahoo and dorado patrolling the area, and the fishing remains exciting.
