Water Temperature:
Really good sea condition with Thursday as an exception as we had rain and a
little wind that got everyone went, but besides that our ocean couldn't be any
better .
Air
Temperature: Very nice and hot, but late in the week a very nice
breeze has blown during the latter part of the day and cooling the day off very
nicely. It has been cloudy most of the week, with big clouds up in the Sierra de
La Laguna chain, and it was nice to get wet two days in a row, but just enough
to start getting everything green here. Great weather anyways.
Fishing Spots and Distance: Blues
are hitting where the tuna are, this is around 30-40 miles out,
but there has also been several blues hitting while fishing for
stripers, around 20-35 miles. You could see the boats fishing for
dorado from the hotel, you can imagine how close they were.
Snapper together with some small tuna in the "pescaderos" (Fish
wholes) in front of La Rivera. Distances range from 15:00 to
1:45 minutes depending what you want to fish for.
Off-shore Fishing:
Big tuna up over 100 lbs you can find the school
and they'll take a while to bite, but once the bite starts you are in for a good
fight. Also my brother caught the 531 lbs blue right after catching a 80 lbs
tuna, so they are there as well. Dorado is very close and they are school
dorado, small to medium sizes, small tuna are also biting here. Very good size
snappers in the morning right in front of La Rivera.
In-shore Fishing:
Nice
size roosters around the sandy beaches, but you got to be patience, specially
due too the many needlefish. We went bottom fishing, and it was great we caught
over 10 species of small to medium size fish. A lot of fun and action, the best
if you are bringing your kids, so they can get hook on 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. Once
again I leave it as they are, for fishing
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:
Good to very good over all fishing. You can go and not
fish anything, but you can also go and catch the tuna or
billfish of a lifetime.
