Water
Temperature: As
the week is coming to an end, we have seen colder water,
Vicente thought that it was going to push the good water
out fast, but it didn't the water in front of Punta
Pescadero all the way to Punta Perico has been in great
conditions. South, you really need to go out, but it was
worth their while for Carlos and crew, since they caught a
nice 57 lbs wahoo.
Weather
Temperature:
Nice spring weather still, but we are now getting to spoil
with the great weather we have been having, we are sure that
warmer weather is coming soon.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Off-shore fishing.-
According to
Vicente fishing continues to be great, and close, but this
time and with the cold water that moved in, he is going
North to Punta Pescadero, he has been doing fairly well with
very good size dorado (his best this week was a 77 lbs),
today he caught 2 stripers and 2 bull dorados. Most of the
fleet is going North, but those who went South needed to go
out about 25 miles east of Cabo Pulmo to find very decent
water and with it, great chances for stripers, blues and
sails and of course the loners bull dorados.
In-shore fishing.-
He mentioned that best fishing continues to be
south by the light house, even though the cold water didn't
help much, still, while fishing with friend Mike McGrath from
San Diego, CA they caught and released a very nice 47 lbs
rooster (approx, and you know what approx. means for these
guys) and a 36 lbs roosterfish.
Successful
lures:
It has not been much
of a change in the lure we are using, still Vicente
mentioned that he never pulls out his petrolero. He also
caught a nice wahoo (37 lbs.) on a Chiwilly, green on top,
blue in the middle and silver on the bottom.
Bait
Used: Sardine
small, but great for shamming, mullets, small jacks, are
what we continue to have.
Highlight of
the Week: Marcos
on the Liliana caught and released a 480 lbs blue, Carlos
a nice 57 lbs wahoo, Vicente a 47 lbs rooster and a 77 lbs
dorado early in the week. I think this fish can qualify
for highlights, don't you think? Still, not much of quantities
this week, but the quality was definitely here this past
week.
While
off-shore fishing is concentrating mostly north, and
the inshore is mostly south it will take some patience to
get to both, I would rather advice to fish one day for
one, and another day for the other.
We'll see
what next week brings us, until then, have a great weekend
and see you soon.
