Mag Bay Report 9/29/12 - catch and release wahoo

bill erhardt - 9-29-2012 at 06:05 PM

Operating on a day old weather report and oblivious of Cyclone Norman I fished outside Mag Bay today for wahoo. I saw not another boat all day either in the estero or on the Pacific. It was an easy trip out, but Boca de Soledad was kicking up on the way back in.
Apparently the wahoo didn't get the memo either because they were on site and hungry. I had my limit before 9:00 and released five more before packing it in at noon.
The biggest fish weighed 53#. two more around 40, and the rest smaller.
The road between Insurgentes and Lopez Mateos is in the the best shape I've seen it this time of year.
This fish hit before sun-up:

msteve.....I didn't see any tuna today. When I was out Sunday, a week ago tomorrow, the first two hits on wahoo lures early were yellowfin. I got one small one in the boat. Later in the day when I was looking for tuna there were none to be found.

nice fish !!

Your a point man for me and whats up information at Lopez Mateo! Fisherman love to hear the tales of the fishing in that part of the Baja.
Please keep these good posts coming! Stay safe too!

Great pictures, Bill. Makes me want to head for Lopez instead of getting everything ready here at home in Loreto. I just got back and of course it has rained since, so haven't been able to do much. Boat is still under wraps. Mike will be heading over there if that keeps up..

Rob.....I know it's been a long time, but don't be discouraged. The background check is taking longer than expected. The State's Attorney does admit that she looked like she was over 18.

Awesome photos Bill! Great report!

Well done, Bill. It looks like sea conditions were pretty good out there. Let's hope that weather and fish continue to cooperate for you.

Great catching B.E.
