FROM GO TO SLOW

From go to slow
Early in the week we experienced an incredible bite of quality yellowtail off the high spot at La Ribera. Lots of boats were there and everyone was bent. Several came away with limits. That same afternoon billfish were very aggressive from the light house to Los Frailes charging at lures and baits presented to them.

The wind blew for a couple of days and everything changed. Today we could see yellowtail in our fish finder in the same location where the action was early in the week but now only a few boats were able to get them to go. Off shore we sighted marlin, wahoo and sailfish but they were more finicky than Morris the cat.


Early in the week we were lettin em go


Today they put on a show


But none would go. These 3 tailers just flipped us the fin


This loggerhead turtle reminded me of Charlie Brown's friend Pig Pen


I lost count of how many turtles we sighted


Today we found what was left of this odd looking squid. Big fins, short mantle, huge eyes, I don't think it is a humbolt?


A small dorado provided dinner and gave a little action


I found this odd critter at the waters edge on the beach in front of the boat yard at Rancho Buena Vista.

A couple of days ago the bait just evaporated and the situation at the moment is not good. A couple of East Cape boats ran to Muertos in hope of getting bait but found that area in the same situation. The bait pangeros that service Leonero have been coming through somehow and the resort has had the best bait. We were only able to get live Horalito's and fresh Ballyhoo today.

There have been a few huge pods of common dolphin working up and down the coast. One theory is that they are eating all the bait. On the radio today I heard it was tough in San Jose as well but have no way to verify that.

I'm not alarmed as things change rapidly and before we know it the bait will be back. Good news is the sightings of loads of game fish. They are not on the chew but that will change as well.

Great photos Mark!

I have a buddy that is down there at LB and got in on the bite. I'm just waiting to hear from him and his report. Thanks for posting!
