La Jolla De Mismaloya, P.V., late September, 1991. Every morning and every night, jack crevalle would push bait right up to the shore. I'd finesse
them on a travel spinning rod, right on to the sand. The children of the owners of the little restaurants on the beach would grab them and take them
to their parents to sell! Made quite a few friends that trip I tried a
little, not very good, though the shrimp dishes they served me were awesome  Do jacks inhabit the bay in La Paz?

this just in from the high speed fishing wire........ 
"Today I went out on Nicks Panga to "just run it around awhile". While we were running it around we found Dorado and I can now say I have caught my
first (and second) Dorado. We found a seaweed patty which attracts bait fish and the Dorado hang out by and under them. On our first three passes
we had multiple hook-ups and it was a wild ride. For Dorado fishing you do not sit still you keep the boat moving along at about 10 MPH and the
Dorado attack the lures you are dragging behind the boat (It simulate flying fish which Dorado love to eat). Sometimes you can see the Dorado racing
to get to the lures.
When they do get the lure it is an all out fight - they jump out of the water by 3 or 4 feet, they dive deep under the boat and they have the pole
completely bent over - its like no other fishing I have ever done. I got my first one on the boat with a lot of help from M and it was about a 10lb.
to 12lb. male Bull. Beautiful blue/green and yellow coloring, a striking fish to say the least. I hand my camara to M and he takes a couple pictures
of my first one caught. I put my camara back onto my belt and carry the fish up to the front cooler. I brush against the side of the overhead
awning, I here a splash and I watch my camara sinking down to the briney depths of the Sea of Cortez. You know the water is so clear I could watch it
for about 30 to 40 feet. Thus, that is why there are no pictures with this EMAIL.
So the next time around the patty we both get bit again, M's lure and fish somehow get away and I am fighting another Dorado. This one is bigger than
the last and I must say I can feel the fight, this fish can really jump. We get the fish to the boat and see it is about a 15lb. to 18lb. female
which is only slightly hooked. We free the hook and let her go without ever having to actually haul her on board - Marv files the barbs down on the
hooks so it is easier to release the fish that we cannot eat. The first fish we got is now being smoked and I can not wait to taste it. We stayed on
the patty for about an hour going back and forth, but the rest of the gang (which we could see did not want to come out and play.
On the way back to Mulege we cross and then ran with a school (actually a full university) of Dolphin. They were in a line that must have been a mile
and a half long and swimming in groups of 4,5,6 up to 10. Jumping, swimming in front of the boat, splashing water and just doing what Dolphins do, I
have never seen so many Dolphins. Boy, I wish I had my camara. On the way out in the morning there were tons of Manta Rays in and around Santa Ines
bay and island.
Quite a day, but this was really to help Nick out by keeping his boat in shipshape condition. The boat ran great but backing it into the garage is
tough. Next time we will use the RAZR to move it in. One thing you do need, Nick, for your trailer tires are some valve stem cut offs. (I do not
know the official name but it is the piece that is inside of the valve stem that allows air to enter but stops it from exiting) They are really cheap
and you should probably get about 10 of them. The salt water really does a number on these parts and that is why I think those trailer tires need air
all the time.
That is all from here. I am sure the Dolphins are enjoying my camara and I will work on getting a replacement for it soon. Thank goodness I had
downloaded most of the pictures.
Everyone take care and we will talk to you later"

Best fighting fish in all of baja
If they inhabited rocky reefs 200ft below the surface nobody would claim that a yellowtail is a better gamefish.
They're great on a flyrod, too. I've caught them on poppers. I'm told they're thicker'n flees down at Zhihuatanejo.
This picture was taken a few years ago by San Lucas Cove. They came right in that year. Got one right in front of the camper. Alex came running in
during my siesta. Zawk! What! Water like a Maytag Whirpool. Bait fleeing for their lives with panic stricken eyes. That's toro fishing.

Of the 3 boats I heard from today one went south off Pt. Concepcion and found a kelp patty that held a lot of dorado and they were able to take 3 out
of it before the bit shut down. The others went towards Tortuga. They saw some bill fish and one 200 pound blue marlin was caught and released and
both boats scored at least one dorado. Not wide open but no skunk.

What makes jacks and Roosters better is the fact that their a beach fish and taken in shallow water, no need for a boat,any tom dick or harry can get
a shot them,its all in the tail guys.
