Corbinafest in Asuncion

shari - 11-24-2010 at 08:00 AM

Yesterday morning was a tad windy to panga fish so the Francis clan took to the beach with us in tow for a corvinafest at high tide...love those morning parties!!!
Here is stan with his personal best bean so far sporting the baja grizzly look....


and Mark had the winning fish of the morning with this monster...he started the day with a nice 5 lb calico off the rocks at our place at sunrise.



I've never seen so many people on a beach here...I counted 19 of us and a whack of dogs partying...beats the snow!!

Hey Shari-- Teach Stan how to fish, O.K.??
Looks like a blast, hope the fest turned into a feast!!

shari ....this right in front of your place? Surf fishing is my favorite form of fishing. Nice catch(s) there

Great report Shari... I'm drooling and lazy as ever. I think there's more summer clothes in that one photo than all of your summer posts combined:O

I believe that beach is the one near what the locals call la cuevita which is not far from Punta Choros----just a few miles south of Bahia Asunción off the road to Abreojos.

Lots of isolated beaches along that road.

happy turkey day to you to but we got a whack of lobster to BBQ instead of turkey....we'll do a turkey on saturday with the gang of snowbirds...looks like the weather will warm up a bit the next few days too...great!

Bajagypsy - 11-25-2010 at 10:01 AM

Ohhhhhhh so can not wait to be back at my REAL home! It was -39 this morning (that is with the wind). Anyone on the way by care to pick me up?

Have a wonderful day To you All!

woody with a view - 11-25-2010 at 12:26 PM

-39?

like Nancy Kerrigan once said, "WHY??????????"

vgabndo - 11-26-2010 at 05:18 PM

BECAUSE IT'S THERE!

Skipjack Joe - 11-26-2010 at 05:38 PM

Woody. Yellowtail are just as much fun as tuna. Pescador (Jim) prefers them to tuna.

It sounds to me as though the fishing at Asuncion now is about as good as it's going to get.

Gopher it.

shari - 11-26-2010 at 08:27 PM

finally the yellowtail have come in closer to Asuncion and today's anglers caught them at San Roque and close to here on their way home which is great....they caught limits of yt, bonita and calico and had alot of fun...it was the first yellowtail for some of the family and they were stoked!!

Yes, it's gets cold at night in BA in December.

shari - 11-27-2010 at 09:44 PM

and you'll be needin a turtle neck under that sweatshirt...and maybe a fleecy on top of the sweatshirt too if there is a cold snap.

Last week in Asuncion, the overnight lows were between 43-46 degrees F. Last night's low was at 56.

Now that's what I call a nice day of fishing!
