I had been watching Terrafin for weeks before this trip and it looked like warm water was moving north but when we arrived it had receded back down
south.
Water temp was around 67 to 69 degrees. Yellow-tail were being caught in good numbers by the coop in nets. But they were not biting on anything and
we tried everything - bait, dead and alive, jigs, and every color of feather, rapala, and cedar plug you can think of. No shows were wahoo, and
yellowfin.
Skipjack and Bonita were plentiful and were actually a nuisance after awhile but good for the Coop that is stocking up on bait for lobster season.
Also we were catching barracuda and sand bass. Grouper and calicos are what we had to settle for.
Well there is always next month
The road south of Maneadero is torn up but will be nice when it is done. It seems like it takes longer, and longer to get through Ensenada and San
Quintin as traffic gets worse.
Pic is from the Abreojos tournament which has created a discussion.
Gas is running P8.21 / liter. The new entrance to San Ysidro from the toll road is better than it used to be.

thanks for the report...did you participate in the tournament?
Things about the same here ..water temps hovering around 70 although yellowtail have been taking rapallas but are spotty. Spearos have taken some nice
size yellowtail too. There are still kelp beds out front which is rare for this time of year as the warm water usually nukes them...Got us all
wondering if the tuna are gonna appear at all.
We have 5 big seiners that have been working the area for a couple weeks now getting bonita too...I'm surprised to see them working so close to
shore...wonder if it's legal. There was a big army helicopter circling the bay yesterday checking out the seiners looked like.

Shari - I saw the huge helicopter too .. had no idea what they were up to.
The guys did not participate in the tournament, they opted out at the last minute - but thank goodness they went and took pics. I was busy getting
ready to head north for 2 days.
We have 2 guys fishing the lagoon today since it is to windy to go out on the sea - we shall see what they catch for lunch 
I believe they cooked themselves a big halibut yesterday (they are in the Copa
Cabana).

see if there's anything left!!

Freespool, Careful, that sort of sentiment could get you in trouble. Welcome to the forum.
