From the 6th of February, the winds have been blowing and keeping most of the sane fishermen off the water. On Sunday the 17th, some of the commercial fishermen went out to try and locate the mackerel and yellowtail (jurel). As luck would have it, they found the bait and jurel in the same place they were at before the winds came up. The 3 or 4 commercial boats that went out that morning came home with fish boxes full. And the word spread.

The next morning, Bill Evans from Pa Paz and Gabino from Aqua Amarga, with Rigo as Captain, headed out at 6am to try their luck. The day turned out to be successful for both anglers, returning to the beach at Los Muertos with 6 beautiful yellowtail from 16 to 15 pounds. Both anglers had smiles on their faces and were discussing when they could make another trip.

Winds this time of year is the only thing that keeps anglers on the beach. The fish are here and if you have mackerel, you'll get fish. Getting them to the boat is another story.

One day after Bill and Gabino's trip, the winds came back and we are looking at probably another 5 to 7 days of rough water. We hope to have some more photos for you soon.

Jorge Santana also had good day with Rigo

cought  7 yellowtail,one dorado and sail fish.

This week our anglers caught a lot of Dorado in the 20-40 lb range

This week our anglers caught a lot of Dorado in the 20-40 lb range. The best action was in the Las Cruces area in between the beach front development to the south just before El Sargento. Slow trolled, Live Cocinero and cut Squid were the best approach for the larger Dorado but, a 40 lb leader was needed due to the constant Needlefish attacks. Small sardines were used to keep the fish near the boat - these were available from the bait fisherman in front of the Island.

Later in the week, the wind picked up and it was to dangerous for most Pangas to reach the Island, La Ventana, El Sargento and the Las Cruces area due to the large swells - if they launched from Muertos Bay. However, the large swells made for some very good Marlin and Sailfish fishing in between the lighthouse south towards Muertos Bay. Several nice Sailfish and Marlin were caught and spotted in this area throughout the end of the week. Slow trolledCocinero was the trick since trolling feathers or skirted lures was impossible due to the large swells. The wind is expected to die down by the end of the week so we are expecting next week to be a good one with mild weather, no wind and a lot of good size fish for our customers
See pictures below all our friends who visit us and had good fishing trips.

The weather did not affect the fishing.

This past week started out with scattered showers and a little wind but the weather did not affect the fishing.

Dorado continue to show in good numbers around the bouys in the La Ventana/El Sargento area and in the Muertos Bay area, these have weighed in between 15 - 25 pounds and were very strong! Some bouys had as many as 7 Dorado patrolling the area. The best bait has proven to be trolled  Monterey Sardines and small Mackeral.

Nice size Wahoo have also been showing between the Island and the Lighthouse on Magnum Rapalas in Purple/Mackeral pattern and Yellow/Orange Marauders especially in the morning hours before 9:00 AM

A few Marlin and Sailfish have been caught this week in the La Ventana/El Sargento area.

Earlier in the week a few very nice Pargo were caught which is very unusual for this time of year but was a nice surprise for the fisherman!

The weather has improved a great deal in the last few days - No rain and very little wind, the fishing continues to improve and provide great fishing for our customers.
