San Lucas Cove Yellowtail Tourney results
What a great tournament we had, especially since the fish were biting very well and every boat had hookups, even though there were lots of fish that
never made it to the boat. Most of the fish were hooked on the 110 spot on the north side of San Marcos and they are really difficult to keep out of
the rocks if you are not prepared with good equipment, proper line, and correct knots.
First place, Sergio Osuna, with a 31.5 lb fish
Second Place, Brenda Goodson 29.91 lb fish
Third Place, Stuart Otto 29.05 lb fish
The Calcutta, which was where the big money was paid 15,600 pesos to the Marisol boat with a total weight of 57.29 for two fish. Fishermen were
Lorenzo Ruiz, Sergio Osuna, and Raymundo Lopez.
I was so busy weighing fish and figuring results, I failed to get any decent pictures, but you have all seen lots of yellowtail anyway.

In Loreto.. Pescaderia's are paying $15 pesos a kilo for yellowtail brought in by the commercial guys..
Money to be made by everyone..

so you're saying the store pays 15 pesos for a kilo
kilo is 2.2 pounds
yesterdays rate was 13.8 to one
that's 50 cents a pound for yellowtail
what is the retail there today?

Wholesale in San Bruno is 13 pesos per kilo right now because there is a good suppy of fish. Cabrilla and grouper bring 45 and Huachinango (the
small ones) bring 55. Ever wonder why the grouper, Cabrilla, and Red snapper are harder to catch.
When you filllet, you don't quite get 50%, so wholesale is at least 30 pesos a kilo, and I have seen it go for around 45 pesos a kilo so your price of
72 pesos a kilo was a little on the high side.

The prices paid by the pescaderia is for the whole fish, head, guts, the works. Not sure what the percentage of filet weight versus total weight
would be.

Wow, I did not know that fisherman had to know so much math!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Dan is correct.. that price paid in Loreto is for the whole fish..
I checked today.. and fresh Yellowtail is selling for $75 pesos a kilo here in Loreto... (where everything always costs more:rolleyes
You could make a better deal if you were buying more.. say 10 kilos..

It's probably cheaper to buy it than to catch it when you factor in all the misc.$$$.
