Hello from beautiful San Carlos, weather is
warming along with the water..Out in front right now the water temps
are in the mid 60´s and getting warmer everyday...Looking at the sea
temps we are only 60 miles from Billfish and Dorado...Heard from one
of the Capt's a Guaymas Pangero came in with 1100 kilos of Dorado
last week.... A lot of fish on a hand line right...I will not get
started on the subject but would like to offer a link for you to
read more about their life cycle and why this is a huge problem.
Hopefully, with education, things will change and be a better year
for these wonderful creatures. If we don't begin to act more
responsibly NOW, there won't be any left for future fishing. Help
spread the word. Now back to fishing...
Started the week with divers from California who were free diving at
the Island, getting some Pargo and small Yellowtails..They had a
ball and were doing this for the fun and enjoyment of the
sea...Monday saw Roberto out doing his magic for some snowbirds
wanting only bottom fish...Happy fisherman are repeat customers...Jonjen
2 out with Abel wishing he had a spear gun because the fish were
everywhere and they wouldn't take a thing...Finally going out in the
afternoon getting two big Yellowtail...
Couple days off then out again - still fish everywhere, with tons of
bait and the fish getting ready to spawn...big fish and heard of few
people getting broken off...Fishing south and got a couple Pangeros
mad at us they were claiming it was their area.. Didn't know you
could get a title to a piece of ocean...(think they where getting
ready to push the fish in to net) just my hunch...Anyway fish were
there and just were not hitting...feeling lucky to just get one
on...The Island is getting to be the best spot - not a lot of large
fish but they are there...getting a lot of great bottom fish and
small Yellowtails...Finished up the week with a scuba, fish and dive
trip with the folks from New Mexico having a ball...and Roberto
getting one nice Grouper 35lb and white fish...
Until next week hopefully with pictures...cheers Jon and Jen and the
animal family...
FYI....Below is a link to a article on the growth rate of Dorado
here is a brief clip of the article....this explains why I TRY to
release all females...Please click on link below to read more!
Dolphin are known to be sexually mature as small as 14 inches in
fork length, with all fish reaching sexually maturity by the time
they are 22 inches in fork length.. A Florida study calculated that
a female 39 inches in fork length produces roughly 555,000 eggs per
spawn with a .03-2% survival rate. Calculations every month she
spawns gives us approx. 1700-11,200 more fish..ea month...
