Halibut arrive in numbers in Asuncion!


finally, the halibut have arrived here...Kevin reported catching one from his kayak this morning along with 4 whopper calicos he gave me the heads)!

So when Juan got home from abalone fishing, we zoomed out to San Roque where he speared 3 nice lenguados for dinner today and for ceviche for tomorrow's newbie nomads arriving.

Of course the monster halibut got away when Juan tried to spear it with the safety on...dang!



amigo David tried out his float tube here in Ensenadita and was stoked at the number of calicos he could catch. It was the first time anyone had seen one of these neato contraptions here...pretty darn cool.

How cool is that. I just got a new Outcast Fat Cat Float tube and you can count on seeing anther one out there when I next come!! Those would be a blast on a flyrod!!!! Wait, that is a flyrod in that belly boat! Keep your tip up!! Whooa!!Now that would be fun!!

If David is a Nomad I hope he will post on fly patterns etc.

So the halibut are seasonal?? Man those are good eating!!

It was sooo cool watching him floating around out in the cove...hooking into so many fish with a very contented smile on his face. Now THAT is Ecofishing at it's best...beaching in a big swell might get kind of exciting.
It appears that David may be joining the ranks of fisher folk here soon...he fits right in...now if we can just get him to reside in nomadlandia.....

Hey Shari, Great fish!

I took this the day before we visited you (about June 10) not too far from your place.

I didn't have quite the luck/skill these locals did. Same spot same plastics...oh well still had a great time




No worries

Float tube. Another item on my list.

Nice fish. How long do the halibut hang around?

float tube fishing in the salt


Brought mine down this past winter and never inflated it.

To be honest, the thought of sharks kept going through my mind. I know the odds are small....

Shari, please ask Juan what he thinks about that possibility in your area.

Yes, fishing for bass and halibut from a tube must be very satisfying. I would use olive/white clousers.

Joe: I'm with you there on the shark thing - they call them "Shark Donuts" in SoCal - but I must admit, that looks like fun.

Sharks are EXTREMELY rare here...just a few small nurse sharks, guitar fish etc...nothing to get excited about. There are divers in the water here nearly year round so any shark sightings would get reported and be the talk of the town. Although last year, a diver did see a hammerhead close to Punta Loma...between Asuncion and San Roque...no one else saw it though so possibly suspect.
David did have a very curious sea lion checking him out though! I think these contraptions would work well here...just to get past the kelp on the shore or out to the closest kelp beds off our place...floating around san roque cove would be awesome too.

I used to live in Northern Colorado in North Park and we started tubing as soon as the ice melted. Did get a pair of the extra thick neoprene waders just to keep my voice from going up an octave or two. A 10 lb trout on a flyrod and a float tube is a memorable experience.
