Water
Temperature: Still
some areas where the water is cold, but captains are running
about 25 miles to find the good mid 80's water.
Weather
Temperature: Too
nice to be in the middle of July, we should be having
temperature in the high to low 100's but a nice breeze
have not permitted this temperatures. But don't get me
wrong this temperatures may feel like they are hotter,
specially if you are coming down from Alaska.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Off-shore fishing.-
Mostly South, down from Cabo Pulmo to La Rivera, some boats
venture North with mix luck, still good fishing as the tuna
finally made their appearance, still we still to see if they
are here to stay. Blue marlin slowly making their way
into our sea. Dorado, very good size dorados, but we eager
to see the school dorado, once the rains start, they will
show up.
In-shore fishing.-
Good catches of rooster and amberjacks, people do not
report all of them, but we know they are catching them.
Snapper good catches in front of La Rivera to Piedra Gorda.
Successful
lures:
Good old Baja colors.
Bait
Used: Good
quantity, and quality mix bags of caballitos, little jacks,
etc, plus sardine. .
Highlight of
the Week: I think the
pictures speak for themselves, but one picture that we don't
have is the picture of Mr. Byal from the greatest state of
Texas, he and his party caught and released what captain
Jose estimated to be a 200 plus tuna, and not only one but
two.
