Water Temperature:
Even though water raised a little this past week, we consider
that is still cold, but if the fishing continues to be as good as it was this
week, who minds?
Air
Temperature:
Best weather yet!!, even with two days with wind at the
begining of the week, you can not say it isn't perfect with nice breeze
and excellent sea conditions. Definitely the best weather yet.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Oh man, oh man, the first two day of the week, our fleet continue
to go up north, about 25- 40 miles, but later in the week, we are
cruising 2-10 miles right East from the hotel to Punta Arena
South, it just cannot get closer than this. And we had boats
searching for tuna about 40 miles out, but no, the fishing
concentrated this week in front of the hotel, La Rivera, Punta
Colorado and not further than El Rincon.
Off-shore Fishing:
Fishing off-shore can be call in-shore this week, where our fleet have been
catching plenty of every off shore specie about 2-5 miles, seeing bait balls
with plenty of striped marlin and dorado. Dorado ranging in the 35 to 50 lbs. No
tuna, our fleet went out to look for it and didn't find much, only early in the
week.
In-shore Fishing:
It has been as consistent as you wanted, where our fly caster friends have find
as many roosterfish, jackravelle among many other species as they want. Some
yellowtail has been hooked as well, together with plenty of snapper.
Successful Lures:
Petrolero, mean-joe-green and chivato colors
are the best.
Bait Used:
There are a lot of bait out (mackerel and sardineta), and that is where they are
seeing the school of marlins and dorados, but big bait has not been of good
quality and we have had a few days with little of it. Sardine is no problem with
plenty of it.
Highlight of the Week: In-shore or off-shore??
or is it the same? anyway great fishing this past week.
