have been doing trips there only during the dry season/ dec to march you may get possible blue water offshore
during my last stay we spotted at about 15 miles off the coast miles of lines drifting on the surface with baited hooks suspended every 50 feet… Fishermen come every night year long
Longline fishing is a non selective technic which tease and kill everything there.
I was told that usually 60 to 70 % catch get discarded and 70 % of those discards get thrown back dead! So I checked while diving 20 hooks: 10 empty, 2 turtles,2 dorado and 4 ray…
The bait used is made of discarded manta ray, sailfish..
Probably over 3000 hooks there!
I guess intensive longliner off the CR coast will do gradually killing sportfishing... and blue water hunting!
