Water Temperature:
Water continues to stay about the same, finding better and warmer water up
North, it is colder down South. We recorded water up to 69 degrees during the
week, but it doesn't seem to affect the fishing, as even inshore were is cooler
we are finding great fishing.
Air
Temperature:
Even with some days with what we called the "last winds of the winter", It
is very nice and it was not too strong.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Arturo reported that the boats continue going North from right
straight out in front of the resort to Muertos Bay. Boats are
fishing from 25 - 40 miles out. Far for us, but if the fish is
there, that's where we are going.
Off-shore Fishing:
Dorados up to 55 lbs this past week with most of them being in the 35-40 lbs
range. Tuna continues to be a hit and miss, still good numbers when you find
them, football to mid size. Good marlin fishing, most stripers, and even with
the cold water we starting to see some early arrivals of sailfish.
In-shore Fishing:
Excellent beach fishing, huge roosterfish, hug jackravelles, and amberjacks,
snapper, sierra and groupers, man this is the time to come and bring light
tackle. They aren't going further than La Rivera, but the best fishing was up
Norht by El Cardonal, where they saw the biggest roosters. Arturo also mentioned
that in front of the resort is crazy, in the morning and when the boats return.
If you can cast you can catch them.
Successful Lures:
Captains reported to Arturo that what the
colors that have been more successful are the mean-joe-green and petrolero,
with chivato coming in a close third.
Bait Used:
Mackerel, caballito and sardine, no problem with bait.
Highlight of the Week: In-shore fishing has
been great, with great catches on almost everything.
