Water
Temperature: Talking
to Carlos, he was telling me that the good water is all
around, you go North, South or East, you will find good
water. This is our summer, and the water conditions are
normally very steady.
Weather
Temperature: We
still waiting for our thermometers to hit the 105 degrees
mark, hoping that it doesn't happen. Still Carlos say is
hot, but with the reports from Angel, it seems that we had
gotten used to the good weather.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Off-shore fishing.-
You can find
tuna anywhere, hold on... or nowhere, tuna it is in and for
those boats that find the good school of porpoise first,
they will normally end up scoring great on tuna, but you can
have a hold day looking for them and not find them, WE ALL
KNOW IS FISHING, NOT CATCHING!! For this late into the
summer is it has became out of the extraordinary to have
that many striped marlin still, it normally slow down at the
time the blues and the sails come in, but this year the
blues came but not that many sails. Dorado, hey we continue
to have a great year, but on the quality aspect of them,
good bulls come in every day. The school dorados will soon
come, as our raining season starts to clear up those
arroyos.
In-shore fishing.-
Great reports from Gary Graham from Baja on the
fly, as most conventional fishermen are heading out to find
the tuna and dorado, his fly-fishing guests have been scoring
big in roosterfish, amberjacks, and all sort of in-shore species.
Successful
lures:
When is good fishing,
all of them work. .
Bait
Used: Mullet,
sardine and small jacks, we still have some days where bait is
a little less than we wanted. But the guys work hard to
find.
Highlight of
the Week: Our glorious
summer is here, and with it, many surprises, you never
know what you will catch. WHY DO WE LOCAL CONSIDER SUMMER
THE BEST TIME TO FISH?, yes is hot, humid, and a little
risky because of the storms, but heyy!! better water
conditions, beer tastes better, more diverse fishery and of
course less boats out, which means more fish per boats, statistically
proven.
Mr. Valentine's
Party while fishing with Rafael and Julio on the Porque No,
caught and released one blue, two stripped marlin, and kept 1
dorado for dinner. One hell of a day. .
Hope to see you
next week!!!
