Water Temperature:
Nice conditions even with the small storm that went by the conditions of the
water didn't change much.
Air
Temperature: It is getting more humid, and you may feel like is
hotter, but it is not. It has been in the high 90's without reaching the 100's
yet. But I am sure we will get there soon.
Fishing Spots and Distance: Tuna
and blues are a further run, stripers and sails a little closer,
and dorado, well just ask our friend John Ireland from Rancho
Leonero, we can see the boats from our resorts.
Off-shore Fishing:
Very close for almost everything, but going for
tuna and blues is a little longer ride (up to 1:45 boat ride) down by the
Meganos Blancos or North/East, still most boats that venture our normally come
with some tuna. Dorado it is very close and with a late bite, nice middle size
dorados, and of course two or more bigger to 50 lbs.
In-shore Fishing:
Good
size roosters just have to have the patience to go after them, and as well as
good size jacks. Pargo is being caught a little farther from the beach but still
very close in front of La Rivera. All around great fishing.
Successful Lures:
Petrolero (brown with orange and little
gray), Chivato (Yellow, orange, with black stripes), Purpura (black with
purple) are the best. I won't change them as they continue to be hot.
Bait Used: Some
makcerel, caballitos and the sardine was not as good as last week, it seems to
be very small, captains opting better to stay with the mackerel. Dorados
are eating chum too, therefore no need of sardine.
Highlight of the Week:
Dorado, and we started to see bigger tuna, and the
numbers of blues just continue to be better.
See you next week!
