LORETO FISHING REPORT
Went out yesterday to see if we could scare up some Yellowtail without going to far and burning up too much gas. Will save the gas $ and effort for
Dorado and Tuna. Left the Marina around 6:30 and headed in the direction of Punto Lobo. Tried a few spots on the way to the point with no results,
Hit the point with still no results. Moved on the East side, maybe 1/2 -1 mile South of Punto Lobo and saw lots of smaller yellowtail rolling on the
surfacce but could not get them to bite on either live Mackaral or trolling.
Went maybe 5 miles North to some high points and caught some nice bottom fish iat 400 feet including fish that the Captain called Canjeo (rabbit)
fish. Anyone ever hear of such a fish?
The water everywhere was flat as a pancake, weather was around 75 degrees with water temp at 67 degrees. Beer was cold on the way in.
Perfect fishing trip, made it to the dock safe and sound.

The beer or fishing?
Any chance of both getting better or do I have to choose?
Could be a tough choice and I might have to have a beer or glass of wine to decide.

Fish
I think that conejo and pierna are local names for ocean whitefish.

A report from somewhere else.. maybe just story telling.
"So far the water is the nicest I have seen in years for this time of year. 30' vis and well over 70. I have been shooting Leopard Grouper, Sierra
and Parrot fish, all very good eating. Tried fishing with rod and reel one day, caught nothing but skip jack, at least they are good for dog food.
Just a few other campers on the beach so I basically have the place to myself."

I moved to CO and they made me buy a little rod to make it feel like a real fish
