Water Temperature:
One more week with everything as last week, those guests coming soon should
continue to have this great conditions.
Air
Temperature: Weather as well has maintain
its temperature, but you may thing is raising because of the humidity, even
though we have not yet reach the 100's mark.
Fishing Spots and Distance: Same
as last week, fleets are not going to far to catch dorado and
marlin, they are venturing out further for tuna, with mix results. Average boat
ride to fishing grounds 30 minutes.
Off-shore Fishing:
Dorado fishing continues to dominate, and it is
still very close, some big up to 50 lbs. but most of them are in the small to
medium size, you can find them from Punta Arena (light house) to el Cardonal, it
just depends if you are lucky and find them. Blue marlin's numbers continue to
rise as well as sailfish, which is normal, but we have had boats with up to two
blues in a day. Striped marlin continues to hang around, which makes it possible
to get all three in the same day.
In-shore Fishing:
I
will continue to say it. Mix your fishing days, one day must be inside and with
light tackle, in-shore fishing continues to offer the most consistent fishing.
There has been really good and quality roosterfishing, this past week Shawn from
the Mr. Clouthier group caught and release one over 70 lbs (estimated by
captain), he will send us some great pictures taken before its release.
Successful Lures:
Petrolero (brown with orange and little
gray), Chivato (Yellow, orange, with black stripes), Purpura (black with
purple) are the best. The latest was the one used to caught a blue over
500 lbs. by one of our neighbor friends.
Bait Used:
Pangueros has found some
mackerel this past week. Also some sardines. No big problems with it.
Highlight of the Week:
Dorados definitely, but captains
continue to report a lots of hits on blues. This is great
news as the big tournaments for the East Cape are just
around the corner.
See you next week!
