If you want some of the best fishing in a lifetime, get on the water as soon as you can and go out to the edge of where the water is pushing the Debris out into the Bay. Usually 6 or 7 miles.' All types of Fish will be feeding on the edge of the Debris.

Yeah, Skeet, just back 'er right on in there. Be sure to take your extra props, too.

tehag;

There are better places to Launch off of the Beach, Just have to move a path through the Debris.

I was there during the Hurricane Lisa in 72. It is worth the trouble to get out there and get some of those Thousands of Fish!!

Think I will wait until the weather cooperates a little more

During hurricane Fausto, a huge palapa that was next to the arroyo north of La Pastora was washed out to sea when the arroyo cut new banks, that roof was floating off shore, mostly intact, for many days after, attracting hundreds of dorado under it. It was the biggest fish magnet that I have ever encountered.

And after you change out the prop, go visit the local mechanic who will have to change out the water pump impeller (if you can find one) because it fried from having debris sucked into it.

For the Dummies with the big Boats ful of Fancy Gear.

Go eith North of South on the Beach and Observe the Debris Line and put your boat in.
You will be on the downside of the Debris Line.
I had and operated a Panga out of Loreto for 27 years, caught all kinds of Fish includeing amberjack, Yellow Tail, Dorardo, Sea Bass and many others,
I learned to read the Waater not look at some funny looking Electrontic goofy Screen to find Fish.

some times it is disgusting to see the "new Kind of fisherman"!!!!!

For those who get out have a Great Day

The intakes for the cooling pumps on outboards are screened so no big stuff gets into the system. Ran outboards on the Green River in Utah when in flood (reads muddy and full of debris) for many summers and never had any problem with dirty water damaging anything. We seldom even damaged props, tho they did get erroded a bit after a while from the silt in the water.

I'm with Skeet (& others)-------go for it!!!!

So if I have this right, this has nothing to do with a fishing report for Loreto. (Surprise) It is the expression of an accepted idea that Dorado assemble under debris therefore if there is more debris in the water, it will be easier to find fish, because of excessive debris.

It seems that when the weather makes it appropriate, it may be easier to find Dorado all over the Gulf of California where the arroyos ran hard.

And using Skeet's advice I ripped that fancyassed altimeter out of my airplane, cause I learned to read the air a long time ago, and only some naked hippie needs an instrument to see the ground. Idiots with altimeters should bloody well learn to FLY. Right, Skeet? :lol:

Learning to Fish North and South of Loreto/

Starting in 1968 with Alvarro Murillo he taught me to use triangletion with the Peaks and valleys a Landmarks.
He taught me to " Read the Water, Direticon of Current, Tempeture, Wind, Birds" etc.

Papa Murillo taught me about locating certain"Bottoms" where at times, depending on several factors , the fish would come to a certian times

As many of you have experienced over the years you have learned that the Fish move to different spots, that the Doroda will hang among Debris in the Water. At times I would take a very large Cardboard and drop it off in the water and on the way back would usually pick up a couple of Fish.

I have talked to some of the "Fancy Boat" Electronic Fisherman, who have caught fish at a certain point, then are wondering why when they come back to the same GPS Point there are no fish..

Some of you should try for Roosterfish just around Doctors Point North of Loreto. Sept. is a good time for a few to come in there.

Anyway, we all do things different to catch our fish.

Good Luck to All of you!!!

Vag:\

The Japan Airliner that went into
San Francisco Bay on Nov.22 1968 people on Board was off 1,000 Feet because the Pilot made a small error when setting the Altimeter..

Wonder why he did not look out the Window and see "How close he was to the Water??????????

Skeet/Loreto - 8-31-2013 at 04:51 PM

After so many years fishing with the Mexicano Fisherman, I learned how to fish their way.
Just think of the Pangeros who fished for a living all those years!!

I think that a very troubleing thing now days is the People depend on someone else telling them What to do and where to go! Likd the women going from Las Vegas to La ended up in Death Valley depending on her GPS.

Go up to Del Elfonso Island, get off and Snorkel around the Island at different times and you will learn alot about fishing around a small Island.

Yes! It takes time and energy to learn the Water from top to bottom, but doIt!

I would suggest that you Hire and old time Fisherman and have him teach you about the Water! Alvarro Murillo has remained one of my Best Friends for years.

Laydown your Computers, and cell Phones and start watching what is happening around you.Wake Up!

Be a Person instead of a Computer Nut. Enjoy what you see, not what a Device is telling you to Beleive!!

Skeet/Loreto - 9-1-2013 at 06:25 AM

Thanks for the Great Photos!!
The cave Photo looks like the one at deElfonso Island. After catching fish I would go in and Clean my fish there. The Pelicans would come up and take the Skins out of my Hands.

When you come right down to it, it does not matter how you fish as long as you are enjoying it!!

That Tin boat looks very much like a Panga,

The Mexicano Fisherman, The Sea of cortez and People of Loreto and Baja Sur were the best 35 years of my Life.

In all those years I fished with a Penn 40 and 40 Lb Test, except when I went after Sharks, then I used a Penn 60 with 125 Lb Line. Largest I ever caught was a 800 Lb Blue shark, The Teeth I still have hanging on my Wall here.

Good Fishing to All!!!

Skeet/Loreto - 9-1-2013 at 02:18 PM

whisler:
In all my years fishing and living in Loreto, the best fishing for me has been up North basically off of San Nicholas about 5 miles is De Elfonso Island North of Pul Pito.

You should take an early day and look into the Area.There is also a great Reef abbout 35 miles North on a heading of 035 where you can experience some of the best fishing in the World.

Alvarro Murillos family started there when Pappa Murillo was given the Land on the beach after fighting in the War. I lived there for about 4 years, The only American.

There is another Island south of Catalana.. Also on the South West side of Carmen before you get to the Tip there is a Very large and Deep Hole that does not seem to have a Bottom. All kinds of fish.

Good Luck!

Skeet,

I love reading all your reports and observations, great stuff from one of the true BAJA BOYS.

I just had one comment/observation of my own, in regards to the island up north you refer to. I believe its spelled Isla San ldelfonso. Maybe that's what is throwing Whistler??? I live in Mulege and fish it often. Still good fishing at times. I love pulling up to the island in the morning, kind of reminds me of the movie 'King Kong' when the fog is in...

Skeet/Loreto - 9-2-2013 at 08:27 AM

Sorry about the spelling. At 83 years I am getting to where the fingers go to the wrong keys.

Skeet/Loreto - 9-3-2013 at 07:52 AM

Whistler:

The Island is located 5 miles off of San Nicholas and 5 miles North of Pulpito.
You can Google it up on Google Earth.
In all my years fishing that is my very best Location for fishing as well as Snorkling.
