May 5, 2018 Puerto Libre
We had a very productive week of fishing once the seas came down. There was lots of big sharks around the shrimp boats with in 5-8 miles from shore. We also caught a few king Mackerel. The snapper fishing slowed a little with plenty of smaller ones but keepers were hard to come by. We have some openings trough out the week.
