There’s no other way to put it. This was a wow-mazing week.


We had a birthday celebration, amazing fishing, great weather and why not win the Dorado Shootout Tournament on your birthday? As air temps climbed to the low-90s, the hot and humid days kept both bait and fish boiling with water temps in the low-80s. Nice bull dorado were caught in the area along with tuna…

Its been a great month!


June is in the history books and July fishing is growing hotter by the minute.  That about sums it up.           As the water warmed, Buena Vista anglers enjoyed some amazing fishing.  Water temps are in the high 70s to low 80s; air temps in the mid- to high 80s.  We’re seeing a near perfect…

Lots of Roosterfish action!!


Week Ending June 19, 2022 With water temps in the high 70s, fishing this week was fantastic with tuna, dorado, wahoo and marlin topping the list.

March Recap!


First it’s sunny and then it’s not.  First it’s calm, then not so hot!  But the one constant after the unpredictable weather has been the yellowtail fishing!  It has been the best in recent memory.  With water temperature in the mid-60s, yellows have been on a near constant boil despite the afternoon breezes. To the…

Time spent fishing is time well spent!


This report looks like an old phonograph record that gets stuck and keeps repeating itself.  It was an amazing fishing week at Buena Vista Resort with everyone enjoying great weather, lots of wildlife sightings, fish catching and great memories. With air temps in the high 80s to low 90s and water temps in the low…

Gone fishing, catch you later!


There was a hint of fall in the air as once again East Cape fishing was outstanding for Buena Vista boats, crews and anglers.  Water temps were in the mid-80s, a few clouds, a bit of rain and a bit of wind created a perfect mix for a great week fishing.  Tuna, marlin, dorado and…
