Large numbers of marlin arrive in July and roam the waters until the end of December. July and August record the largest black marlin and blues are often taken during the prime sailfish months. The roosterfish is one of the most exciting inshore and surf fish available. The volcanic shoreline holds them all year and fish between 20-40 lbs are common. Cubera snapper is the most popular of all the local snappers due to its size and sheer strength. Fish over 50lbs have been caught in the area year round.
