Well you are in the tourist business, so you aren't going to give a straight answer...The one answer I did get today was no Dorado...

Bob and Susan - 5-21-2016 at 08:17 PM

july aug sept oct is dorado season...

I've always said they have that tourney WAY too early

I think the snowbirds want to fly home and cant wait

Tournaments coming up the next two weekends in San Carlos. We'll see what happens.

I managed to scratch three dorado today. Just lucked onto the right paddy AND I had live bait. None were over 10 lbs. Many really small ones.

I've heard of exactly TWO dorado over 15 lbs caught this year. The billfish are here, though.

Dorado are very plentiful here in New Mexico right now, at Walmart. Maybe they aughta change species for the tournament; $1 for first, $1 for biggest, and $1 for most sand bass caught in a one-hour time limit, and free beer for a $100 buy-in.

So far, no body has answered a simple question....and the Jerk from the lighthouse is telling me what I already know...read slow....Did MULEGE have the dorado tournament yet? Are there in Dorado in MULEGE....HINT! Both these questions can be answered yes or no...

Bob and Susan - 5-22-2016 at 06:00 AM

I was at the ramp at 5:30am this morning...no boats launching

no boats=no caught fish

Thanks, but once again, that WASNT the question....Fuggedaboudit..

Chuckie, relax. The Mulege Dorado Tournament is the 3,4,5th of June. I have seen no dorado yet, but we are getting some great action on billfish.

The Punta Chivato Tournament, Twentieth Anniversary, will be held the 24, 25, &26th of June.

chuckie - 5-22-2016 at 09:22 AM

Hey no problem....I am catching lots of good walleyes and slab crappies..Billfish is a good sign, altho I am not fond of catching them...Hope you get some Dorado...

dorado50 - 6-6-2016 at 07:21 AM

For those interested, there were a handful of dorados caught during this tournament. The two largest went 34 and 31#s. So there you go.............

chuckie - 6-6-2016 at 07:40 AM

Thanks

Yeppers, at least 4 over 20 lbs. Now everyone is getting ready for the Punta Chivato Bulls Only Tournament on the 24, 25, and 26th. First prize is $1,000, so that should get Chuckie out of Kansas.

chuckie - 6-6-2016 at 09:05 AM

Chuckie is headed out of Kansas! Alas the other direction..:( Headed to Nebraska to catch Walleyes, and jetski with my Daughter..Have fun guys and girls!

alacran - 6-6-2016 at 09:29 AM

As always with the Mulege Dorado tournament, the Dorados were not notified, they do not wake up this early.:?:

Hook - 6-6-2016 at 11:31 AM

Six or eight were caught in the recent tournament in San CArlos, Sonora, over the past weekend. The largest were in the low 20s.

chuckie - 6-6-2016 at 12:35 PM

Yeah they seem to be smaller and fewer each year...For me it's just not worth fighting that horrible heat for it....

dorado50 - 6-6-2016 at 03:06 PM

If 34 and 31#ers are small to you than you must be a big game fisherman?:wow:

chuckie - 6-6-2016 at 03:14 PM

Well, they aren't huge, for sure...And not very many of them...I stand by what I said...

chuckie - 6-6-2016 at 03:20 PM

I consider this fish average or less


Pescador - 6-7-2016 at 09:47 AM

I know who that fish is but who is the funny looking guy with the shades and the hat?:cool::o:coolup::?:

chuckie - 6-7-2016 at 10:29 AM

Same guy that sold you the squeaky clean smoker....
