Fishing off the LaGuaira Banks has been holding its own. Blues and Whites are hitting lures and bait alike. Our clients, the Glasco party of four anglers, met their quarry head on. They came, they fished hard and were rewarded. The crew of the Guarimba did its job.

18 March – first day: raised - 4 Blues, 3 Whites and 2 Sails raised; released 2 Blues, 2 Sails and 4 Dorados
19 March – second day: released - 1 Blue, 1 White and 1 Tuna 90+ kgs.
20 March – third day: released - 2 Blues, 1 Sail and 5 Tunas from 80-95 kgs

0.025/ltr for #2D; 0.015/ltr for gasoline that's in USD or in Bolivares it's 0.05/ltr and 0.032 respectively. The currency changed in January. They took a 1000 Bolivar note and made it 1 Bolivare. Current rate (Fri) is USD $1 = 2.144 Bolivares

When the US doesn't need to import 50% of the heavy crude from Venezuela, you will see the price lowered here. Don't forget we are the only importer that can breakdown and refine this super heavy crude.
