“FISHING IS EVERYWHERE”.....This was the answer I received today when I asked one of our Captains where the bite was this week and how far out are they running. Captain Alberto Cota of the J & B said that it did not make much difference which way you went, whether you went 20 miles to the north or 20 miles to the south, you were going to find fish. There were plenty of tuna and dorado brought to the docks this week. Most were in the 20-40 lb. range, but if you were willing to go out a little further, then you had a shot at getting into tuna in the 100-150lbs. range. The hot spot this week had to be Los Frailes (no surprise), located just south of Hotel Punta Colorada. It was a hot bed for tuna, dorado, pargo, and roosters. Talking with a few guests this week, there was plenty of billfish action as well this week. We saw 20 blue marlin ranging from 200-400lbs., 23 sailfish and 35 striped marlin. Some of the other species caught this week, but not in any great number included 6 wahoo, 18 pargo, 23 roosters, and 3 cabrilla. The day time temperatures continue to be in the upper 90’s with a night time low in the low 80’s. Water temps. continue to be in the low to mid 80’s in the East Cape, so conditions couldn’t be any better.
That’s it for this week amigos.
Until next week….
