Fishing & Diving Reports
Fishing Report
I didn’t hear many reports, but hopefully more boats will be fishing this week. One friend found some debris four miles out holding small Dorado. They found sailfish a little farther out, and lost a marlin. Another report was of fish 26 miles out. In close, the skipjack were everywhere. There were plenty of chances, even from shore. Small silver spoons and jigs are probably the way to go. The water cleared and I got out with the snorkel to see a lot of large Colorado and Mangrove Snapper in full color. Small bait had snapper, cabrilla, and barracuda everywhere. On my way in the corvina swam by, and I was able to return with my rod to land four big ones. I have a feeling that it will be another excellent Fall season! by Bryan Replogle, Team Margarita Sportfishing, repsilon@aol.com |
  What’s more fun than diving with California sea lions at San Pedro Nolasco? Whether diving or snorkeling, these curious animals seem to enjoy interacting with humans. California sea lions have ears, which differentiates them from seals. They also walk using their front flippers, while seals move like caterpillars. Sea lions are found on the west coast of North America from Alaska to Central Mexico. Like all marine mammals, they are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and their numbers have been increasing. The females and juveniles are most playful and will come to divers and snorkelers to engage them through twists and turns, blowing bubbles or pulling on stray hair or dangling snorkels or even biting swim fins. Males can be very grumpy appearing when protecting their harems. They swim back and forth showing just how close humans can come and often bark loudly or open their mouths to show they mean business…don’t go near. Best to turn around and explore another area. Breeding season is June through August, with births occurring the following May through June. Their diets are varied, with different varieties of fish – anchovies, sardines, mackerel – being the main course. California sea lions face many threats. One that we see often at San Pedro Nolasco is fishing line or fishing net entanglements. The fine nylon line often cuts deeply into the necks of the sea lions, sometimes causing death. With their big, beautiful eyes, it is hard to remember that they are wild animals. Divers and snorkelers should not reach out to try to pet or control them. They can give a very nasty bite. Enjoy their antics, take photos, and maybe even do a little dancing with them, from afar. Come out and celebrate Mexican Independence Day on and under the water this coming weekend. El Mar Diving Center San Carlos has a 2-tank dive to the Sonoran Artificial Reef System on Friday, September 12. On Saturday, September 13, the Piesquita will take divers to 3 local dive sites and on Sunday, September 14 there will be 2 dives at San Pedro Nolasco, with sea lions. Snorkelers are always welcome. Check in with El Mar Diving Center San Carlos to reserve your spot and get all the details. The conditions are perfect right now…87 degrees for water temperatures and depending on dive site, up to 50 feet of visibility. by Annette Felix and Feliza Rios, El Mar Diving Center; photos by Phil Bonds of Cortez Blue Photography |
We got some decent rain that may have cooled the water a touch. Northwest winds followed, giving us a taste of Fall. One system is in the near forecast, so don’t think we’re in the clear yet. I do think that we’ve turned the tide with the fishing though.Other News Around Town

CRRIFS: Turtles and more Turtles arrive with the Storm
On Saturday it was even crazier. Every volunteer out spotted tracks and helped with nests. Thank you to the security guards for Sunset Grill and the other restaurants. They witnessed a turtle laying eggs and secured the area. We were able to find that nest and five more on Los Algodones, San Francisco, and Miramar beaches. If that wasn’t enough to keep us busy, our first two seasonal nests saw babies popping their heads up on Thursday. The nests were protected in our Incubation Center after being discovered on Miramar beach. They were ready to be released on Saturday. With the storm blown over, 91 turtles were released at Miramar. This nest was adopted by Miramar Bomberos. We now have lots of nests in all stages ready to be adopted. This weekend we have nests hatching from Miramar and by Costa del Mar. Nests found this weekend should start hatching around mid-October. Please consider adopting a nest and releasing baby turtles. It is such an exciting experience. Please contact our NEST ADOPTION HOTLINE at 622-172-9176. Nest adoptions start at 1,500 pesos in person. If you are not here in San Carlos, you can follow the nest virtually starting at 850 pesos.
