Wait for fishing after a storm?


Going to La Paz tomorrow. How long does it take for fishing to return to La Paz after a storm like Jimena?

As soon as the water settles down. The fishing should be fantastic. Big storms churn things up and relocate reef fish from deep-water hang outs.;) The pelagics ride the storm to where ever it takes 'em. The problem is getting fuel, ice, etc.

Dorado fishing is usually very good the first week after a storm. The rains wash out tree trunks and other large objects which later become areas the fish frequent. Just look for anything large floating about and chances are excellent there'll be dorado.

In effect it concentrates the fish and gives you a clue as to where they are at the same time. Good luck.

hey skipjack, thanks for the tip...maybe when our palapa spins off out to sea, we will find it with a prize dorado under it...that will be a cool fishing report!...maybe we should attach a gps tracking device to it before she blows!!

skookum or even more skookum is something skookum chuck...means something pretty awesome...stout...able to withstand a storm at sea type of thing...its' a nautical term and maybe canadian or british???

Skookum (Wikipedia)


Skookum is a Chinook jargon word that has come into general use in British Columbia and Yukon Territory in Canada, and in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

The word skookum has three meanings:

1. a word in regional English that has a variety of positive connotations;
2. a monster; similar to the sasquatch
3. a souvenir doll once common in the United States in tourist areas.

Skookum


Great word. Using it in a sentence is just plain skookum.

Here's another...The Skookum Indian, a longime landmark in the town of Wenatchee, Washington.
