Fishing Report

The seasons are coming and going, but not fast in either direction. The extended forecast says the same, with even some warm south winds this week. I saw a few marlin and Dorado just a few miles out Monday in greenish water. While I’m still sure that it feels like summer just 20 – 30 miles out, I haven’t heard of anyone trying. Conditions should be right for attempts this week.

The Bonita have shown at times between San Antonio and Deer Island, some being large. Sierra were also there at times, with some grandes. A few yellowtail were jigged up at the Island, along with numerous smaller bonita. Bottomfishing appeared to be a little slower last week.

The coming quarter moon should be good for all species. Bait seems to be showing in close and just offshore. The water is still 78 – 80 F degrees, so get out there are enjoy it while it lasts.

Diving Report

Even though the days are cooling down, the water temperatures are still comfortable for some great diving. You might need some neoprene – everyone’s needs are different – this past weekend, water temps were 80 degrees on the east and west side of San Pedro Nolasco. The visibility has diminished some, about 20 – 30 feet.

The fish life was very good last weekend at all island sites visited…La Cascadita, Bahia Elena, and El Faro Norte on the east side of the island and La Caverna on the west side. Divers reported a total of 5 turtles sighted, Hawksbill and Green/Black, during the 2 days.

Bahia Elena (El Playita) was a great spot to see the juvenile Rockmover Wrasses. Four of them were seen. Other juveniles seen in this shallow bay were Beaubrummel, Parrotfish, Cornetfish, Wounded wrasse, and King angelfish, to name a few. Beaubrummels (above left) are in the damselfish family. These juvenile beauties grow up to be drab brown with yellowish fins and tail. Juvenile Parrotfish (above right) are just the opposite, the adults are the colorful ones, and the young are drab with brown and beige stripes.

All the sites had a nice variety of sea stars, including a Crown-of-Thorns, Flower sea urchins hiding themselves with little stone, and one white with red highlights Sedna nudibranch.

Don’t miss out on the changing season under the water. Grab a wetsuit and book a trip. El Mar Diving Center is running two days of local dives this coming weekend on November 1 and 2. Stop by to get the details and book a trip.

Birding Report

Hola Birding Enthusiasts,

I am back in San Carlos and ready to begin our birding group outings on Thursdays.

We had, thank heavens, some rain this summer and it has left a lot of water in various places. The good news is that there is a lot of fresh water for the birds. The bad news is with all the various spots with water, the birds are very dispersed which makes for more difficult viewing. In addition, I checked my photos from last October and can see that our winter birds are definitely behind their normal arrival schedule. Many are just not here yet.

The birding group will meet this coming Thursday, October 30 at 7:30am at the Mariscos Esterito Cafe located at the end of San Carlos Bay near the fish camp and across from the Red Cross station. Settlement ponds have been our best bet because the wintering water birds are starting to arrive so we will probably go to one of the three settlement ponds in our area this coming week. You do not need to be an experienced birder to join our group. If you do not know anything except that you want to know more, our group will help you learn. If you are an experienced birder and just want to know other birders, then join us and share your knowledge. Please bring your water, sun and insect protection, and a chair. And your binoculars, of course.

There are a lot of mosquitos out and about so I strongly suggest long pants and lots of bug repellant. In addition, the rain has produced a growth spurt. The flowers are lovely but there is an abundance of stuff with stickers and thorns also, so sturdy shoes are best. Outings last until around 11:00am and we go out to lunch afterwards. Since the weather is still quite warm, we will quit when we start to get hot and go for breakfast if it is too early for lunch.

If you have any questions, sightings to share, or comments, please feel free to contact me at maryltannehill@yahoo.com. I wish you happy birding wherever you are.

CRRIFS: 1200 Baby Turtles Released Last Week

A record was set last week as CRRIFS released over 1200 baby turtles. Last Wednesday, 422 hatchlings were released back to the sea. This is what happens when six nests are found in one day. It usually occurs when there is a full moon or a storm. Forty-some days ago was no exception, as there was a full moon. This year and last, all the nests have been hatching at the same time making it very hectic for staff and volunteers.

The nests are monitored five times a day at our Incubation Center. Earlier in the week we knew babies were coming to the surface, sleeping and getting a little frenzied. A call was put out to volunteers that on Wednesday afternoon multiple nests would be released, and much help would be needed. Since the nests were found along Algodones beach and Soggy Peso’s restaurant adopted a nest, we released them there.

Half the nests were in front of Soggy Peso and the other half in front of Playa Blanca. Besides Soggy Peso, Marvida also adopted a nest and employees of both participated in releasing baby turtles. Restaurant goers and condo occupants came out to watch. After the release, volunteers and staff enjoyed the sunset, dinner, libations and camaraderie at Soggy Peso after a long tiring but truly rewarding day.

The next day all the nests were evacuated. 18 babies were found alive, but too tired to make it to the top of the nest. After a bit of rest, they were released.

There is still time to adopt a nest and release baby turtles to the sea. Be a part of this exciting and rewarding CRRIFS fundraiser. Call or text on WhatsApp our NEST HOTLINE at 622-172-9176 to adopt a nest. In-person Nest Adoptions start at 1500 pesos.
