PHOTO 1: San Diegans Matt Muckerman and Mike McFeely started their trip out to Muertos Bay with a nice little grand slam of some dorado, cabrilla( seabass) and a really nice dog tooth snapper. Look carefully at the photo. In the background, Tom Staples puts a liplock on a dorado while Captain Archangel takes the Kodak moment!
BIG YELLOWTAIL, ROOSTERFISH AND JAGS OF DORADO ROLL INTO ANGLERS!
First off, if you tried to e-mail me this week, apologies if you couldn't reach me or I didn't respond right away. We had some bugs in the new system we're installing. For future reference, here's my new e-mail address www.riplipboy@tailhunter-international.com
Let's talk fishing...
A wacky wacky week here. We had a little bit of everything it seems. No shortage of variety at all. Take a look at the pictures for a small sample of what could be caught on a given day!
Our La Paz fleet again struggled with a few days of wind which made it either hard to fish or else made it difficult to fish the mackerel which are the larger baits preferred by the big yellowtail out at the islands. However, on the day when the bait and wind were aligned, wow...some big beefy fish to be had.
In addition to 30-40 pound yellowtail, there were also some big cabrilla, pargo as well as some 30-60 pound roosterfish...clearly the largest roosters we've seen so far this season. As I said, the larger baits were the ticket, but sardines were available and were also effective, but to a lesser degree.
For our Las Arenas/Muertos Fleet, well...dorado were clearly here! Some times, the bite was literally only hards from the shore and the fish would slam into the fleet while guys were fishing in 20 feet of water! Other times the mahi were found outside at the buoys. Near the south end of Cerralvo, spots of wahool were seen and several hooked and lost. As well, again rumors or fast break tuna were seen moving with the dolphin, but not slowing down enough to jump on them.
Inshore, the roosters (between 5 and 30 pounds), big jack crevalle and pompano tore up the guys near the beaches. In the rocks, pargo liso and dog tooth snapper (cubera snapper) were on the hunt and were willing to bite but NOT ready to be dragged to the boat so we lost quite a few of those beasts this week. As well, mix in good numbers of sierra, snapper, and cabrilla as well as smaller yellowtail, rainbow runners, amberjack and bonito and it made for an action-packed day!
TAILHUNTER IS NOW AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR LICENSES
By the way, Tailunter International is now an authorized dealer to sell fishing licenses. It's a pain in the butt to get licenses if you have ever tried in Mexico, but now, we can sell them direct!
Have a great week! That's our story!
