Water
Temperature: Water
has remained nice and warm, one of the beauties of the summer.
Weather
Temperature: We
continue having a nice and mellow summer weather. Even
though we felt the heat a little stronger this week,
but still we only got closer to the 100's
mark.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Off-shore fishing.-
Alejandro
fished both North and South, early in the week was more to
the North about 15 miles out from Punta Pescadero and El
Cardonal, with good dorado and billfish. Later on the week
he fished mostly South about 20-30 miles out from the
resort. Tuna was found on Thursday and Wednesday, with
catches up to 60 lbs, but same as last week, the
tuna continue to be a hit and miss chance. Dorado and the
other hand, has continue to produce great quality fish and
some school dorados as well, Alex caught one up to 59 lbs.
The stripped marlin has finally slow down giving space to
the incoming sails and more blues, it is late for their
arrival, which it is a little late, but this could mean
that our season will extend as well, we'll see what
happens, this is fishing, isn't it?
In-shore
fishing.-
Alejandro fished three days inshore and all of
them were south from Piedra Gorda (right after La Rivera) to
el Rincon (right before Cabo Pulmo marine park). With
great days for roosters and other jacks, most of them small to
middle size.
Successful
lures:
Summer, and good
fishing, Alex said that he has been using most of the Baja
colors, with the petrolero and guacamayo being the most
productive.
Bait
Used: The
bait situation continues to be un-consistent, with some
days boat going with less than normal, it is not everyday.
Small jacks and caballitos and sardines.
Highlight of
the Week: More
sails and more blues, great size dorado and some tuna,
inshore, a lot of fish. Just another week in the summer.
And something that we at Buena Vista don't too often,
Alejandro said that small earthquakes were felt last week,
very small and they weren't felt in La Paz, talking about
something estrange.
Mr. Lacqua
from Big Bear Lake, who came down. with Mr. Bud Warmington
Group, caught and released 1 black marlin (est. 275 lbs
aprox.), 1 sail fish, plus he kept three dorados and 3
tunas (est. 30-40 lbs). Not bad.
Hope to see you
next week!!!
