BIG DORADO PACE COMEBACK AFTER SLOW STARTING WEEK!
Photo: California Highway Patrol officer Randy Lyons from Elk Grove CA ran into a few days of tough fishing but hung in there and finished with a flourish nailing some nice bull dorado, his first ever striped marlin and this solid 42 pound bull (on the scale) which was his personal best. He caught it east of Espiritu Santo with popular Capt. Raul “Papa” Martinez of the Tailhunter Fleet.
BIGGER DORADO TURN A ROUGH WEEK AROUND!
Early in the week we got double whammied with a full moon and rainy windy weather. I think those were some of the poorest fishing days of the year. Local water temps dropped a good 4-8 degrees! However, by the end of the week we were on the upswing. Still not wide open, but the dorado that were caught were all generally trophy sized mahi. Marlin…especially striped marlin and occasional blues were also on the chew as things got back to normal. Even Las Arenas picked up with inshore species such as roosters, cabrilla, big pargo and even a few stray yellowtail got in the counts with some nice dorado as well as a few wahoo. The recent storms put out some nice lines of brush and trash that had washed down from the hills and by the end of the week dorado were hanging out under the current lines.
NEW TRAVEL REGS
Better give yourself extra time at the airport amigos. I’m sure you’ve heard about most of these new regulations. For East Coast travelers, they are not allowing ANY carry-on luggage of any kind except those that fit the exception.
So far, however, for travelers to Mexico, you can still carry stuff on, but check out the new stuff below:
US customs and Border Protection as well as the Transportation Security Administration (TASA) will be increasing enforcement efforts in international arrival areas, including the use of advanced targeting tools, special response teams including baggage and aircraft search teams, baggage X-ray equipment, specially-trained canine units, and explosive detection technology. (You thought taking off your shoes were bad…)
No liquids or gels of any kind will be permitted in carry on baggage. Such items must be in checked baggage. This includes all beverages, shampoo, sun tan lotion, creams, tooth paste, hair gel and other items of similar consistency. (Well, there goes the Grecian formula…)
Exception: Baby formula, breast milk (that’s a quote) , or juice if a baby or small child is traveling; prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket; and insulin and essential other non-prescription medicines, which all must be presented for inspection at the checkpoint. Beverages purchased in the boarding area (beyond the checkpoint) must be consumed before boarding because they will not be permitted on board the aircraft. Pack lightly and use clear plastic bags to facilitate screening. For international flights arrive 3.5 hours prior to departure.
That’s my story!
