Fun in the Baja sun or Bendo?





Fun in the Baja sun or Bendo?

Walking the beach the other morning I discovered a small squid at the water's edge. I don't know if it just washed up or was chased out of the water under pursuit. One thing for sure is the presence of this bait is why fishing for game has remained consistent through these winter months.

Aside from the squid I'm also finding juvenile sardines, balloonfish and coronetfish heads littered along the surf line Where there is bait, gamefish aren't far which explains the current action.

Striped marlin, dorado, wahoo and the arrival of white bonita are all here for the party. There is a lack of anglers though and only a couple of boats are fishing each day.

East Cape wind is pretty typical for this time of year with it blowing 5 or 6 days out of 7. Air temperature has been a bit warmer than normal and we have not had to break out the flannels or Ugg boots yet which is a bonus in my eyes.

Some find it odd to see coronetfish heads floating on the water or on the beach. It is not uncommon that certain times of the year marlin and other gamefish feast on coronetfish. There was a period of time last spring I could see marlin feeding but we couldn't get them to go. Watching the action we determined the billfish were feeding on red coronetfish. I could see schools of the slender bait in my Simrad sounder and they were easy for us to catch on Sabikis. This strange looking bait was the ticket and using them we got all the action we could handle. I have also watched marlin and dorado feed on balloonfish but haven't sorted out a way to catch or use them for bait.

Going through some photos in my archives and I picked a few to share but can't decide if this group of images should be called Fun in the Baja sun or Bendo?


























My best friend Del Marsh, may he rest in peace
