THE FISHING REPORT!
What a week, amigos! By far, the BEST fishing week we’ve had all season. It seemed that all the variables finally lined up; the planets got their acts together; and the fish gods smiled!
Not only did the winds finally take a break but also water and sun and air finally made the fish turn on. Wow! With water temps in the mid-70’s and air temps in the low 80’s (yes, it’s March and it’s already in the 8o’s) the fish were on the bite!
Check it out!
We got our first marlin and sailfish of the season. Normally, we don’t see these guys willing to bite for another month or two. We’ve had them swimming around for a few weeks, but this is the first time they were willing to bite!
Then…the yellowtail! Full bendo and lots of fish lost in the rocks, but the ones that came up were a nice grade 15-40 pound fish with several larger fish as well. The high spots like La Reyna and La Reynita at north Cerralvo Island, el Bajo Seamount and some spots on the east side of Espiritu Santo Island were the hot tickets for the slugger forkies.
Add to that the yellow snapper and pargo that were on the chew and there were some nice fillets to put in the ice chests! Undoubtedly, the best week so far! We’ll keep you posted.
Oh…I should also mention…it’s March…we also nailed a few dorado!!!!
PASSPORTS
Folks, I’ve been reminding and reminding you for weeks. Do NOT delay in getting your passports. Not kidding. This year, you MUST have a passport to fly down to see us or anywhere else in North America. If you call me and cancel your trip because you didn’t get your passport, I’m not gonna have alot of sympathy! Normally, passports take a month or so to get them in the mail. Well, notices have gone out that it could be up to 3 months to get the paperwork processed now! Don’t sit on your hands. Gedderdun!
TAILHUNTER’s TRADESHOW TRAIL
As I write this, we are just pulling out and packing out from spending the week in gorgeous Salt Lake City where we just completed the International Sportsman’s Expo. It was about 80 degrees here and I spent the whole week in our booth in shorts and flip-flops compared to my normal snow gear I have to wear whenever we are here.
Great to see so many of our old amigos and make new ones. Tell ya what…considering we’re in Utah, it was amazing how many Californian’s were running around and came to say hi. These were guys walking around the show with t-shirts from Fisherman’s Landing in San Diego or wearing long range shirts with Excel printed on it. We sure had fun this week and now we’re packing up and headed to our last show after 3 months on the road. We’re headed to the great white north…Anchorage, Alaska! Then…finally back home to La Paz.
We’re filling up fast! Let us know if we need to set you up this year!
That’s my story!
