May 2021 Fishing Report
We have had a busy month in May and the fishing has been outstanding. Offshore we are finding big schools of Yellow-fin Tuna and a decent Sailfish bite. As we progress into June and July the Marlin bite continues to improve. Most of the Marlin around here are Blues in the 250 lb. range.

As a small village that relies very heavily on tourism, Drake Bay has been hit especially hard. The virus has not made it to Drake Bay, but with the shutdown of the country to visitors from other countries, the village is completely “closed”.
