San Carlos Mexico Fishing Report: June 23, 2010

Tough fishing out on the water. Sometimes though the ride is enjoyable enough! Had a few afternoons with lots of sailfish coming up. They are tough to hook though. A lot of smaller fish that aren’t taking the baits too well. Only a few reports of dorado being caught, yet they are larger fish. Some of us are thinking with the lack of squid around that the fish are following them. Not too many flying fish either. Other baits could move in at any time though.

I saw a couple tuna schools come up very briefly last week, but they were back down within seconds. Only a few tuna were caught, with one close to 90#. Some big marlin into the 300# range are around but many of them are just ‘sleepers’. They must get hungry at some point though. Our action inshore was a little spotty for sierras with so much bait and seaweed around in close.

A couple days of wind, but for the most part the days have been very nice out there. It’s starting to get a little warm if the wind isn’t blowing. Not quite as much life out there these days, but you never know. We had dolphin following us for an hour the other day. Lots of mantas jumping in close. We passed a nice little whale shark the other day. We stopped the boat and it came right up to us. I pulled out the snorkel gear and dove in with it. I think it was contemplating how to remove some of the half dozen ramoras on it.

July Fourth weekend will see the International Fishing Tournament hosted by Ernesto Zaragosa. Hope to see you there for this three day event that is always a lot of fun!
