Surf Fish, Pta Rafael and pics of Yellowtail Farm, Rosalita
Just got back from 6 days trip about 430 miles South to Pta Rafael, the surf camp just north of Rosalita
Great Spotfin fishing on light tackle. Miles of trails to roam on the Polaris'
Hear two things:
Yes, there is a Sardine factory in the works at Rosalita
Second, the work on the Chilean Yellowtail fish farm is continuing...
See the pics. Huge holding ponds being dug, but as you can see the water table is inundating the holding ponds.
Did not see at that time (no one was working) if there were using pumps to keep water out while digging
Big money being used to dig them all out. About 4 football sized pools at this time

Really interesting this year....
Talked to one of the full time Americans that care take the surf camp and they said they have only seen ONE halibut caught at Rafael this year (I
think he meant from the surf)
Also out of the many Spot Fin we caught, we only caught 4 or 5 corbina, although they were good sized.
So we did not catch any Halibut
But large numbers of Spot Fin |
