Where the fish in a photo was actually caught is not a detail.
The skeptics who doubted the veracity of a third party post from Poland reporting dorado being caught in 60 degree water off of the central Baja coast
have over a 100 years combined experience fishing the Baja peninsulas coastal and offshore waters.
I read the post and thought hmmm. Then vandy chimed in and he was right, something is wrong here. Looked at the photo, saw rental rods and reels, nice
ones, a beamy boat and an island or land in the back ground which lloked Cortez side and I guessed Loreto and Carmen, but it could I have been
Cerralvo and La Paz or ??
I have met Ross, briefly, and Bajaboy not so briefly
Ross is a fisherman, as good a fisherman as the best I know and I know some good ones. He fishes just around the corner from La Bocana, BCS. He spends
lots of time on the water in his own boat. You learn something every time you go out and he goes out a lot. Bajaboy fishes often too and is learning
from the local guides, local knowledge, every time also. He is just a pup compared to Ross and myself but pups turn into old dogs too.
Our combined experiences strongly suggested the report was perhaps misinformation. In fishing, misinformation should be disseminated first hand and
only first hand. And said fibber must be ready to accept in good humor being called out on such fibs.
So no, we did not believe those fish were caught where they were reported to have been caught. The responses here were merely expressions of those
doubts. None were being mean, except he who shall be ignored on the Baja Fishing and Hunting section. No disrespect to Blanca at all on my part. She
was just trying to liven things up here. And, I guess she did! Dorado will do that to any fisherman.
Nothing exotic happening on the offshore banks of Mag Bay but there is a dorado bite going on from Cabo to Loreto and it is a pretty good bite.
Time to go and fib first hand! |
