pacific side report
Spent a couple of weeks on the pacific side fishing between rosallilita and cono. The surf fishing was good with corvina and halibut to 20" and some
real nice spotfin croaker 8 to 10lbs. Fishing out of my boat was a bust due to the red tide, in some spots you could not even surf fish it was so
bad. The weather was great, sunny in the day and cool at night so that the jacket had to be put on. The largest wave was 1' and most days you had to
wait for the afternoon wind chop to kick the water up. fishin rich

I saw your rig pulling into the El Rosario pemex a few weeks ago when I was pulling out on my way to B de LA..... that's a heck of a set up you have
there. Then only thing I needed a jacket for on that trip was as a pillow.

Hey Rich what type of bait did you use? Do they have sandcrabs down there?

Thanks for the reoprt. I didn`t figure the red tide was down that far.
Great job on those huge spotfins-- reminds me of the pic. from some book (Peterson?) of some 10 pounders caught down that way. Last time we fished it,
it was 2 at a time corbina and bass off the rocks. And a few mystery fish from the kayak!!

bait
Frank---I ran into two guys one afternoon who were whipping up a frenzy in the surf with plastics,spoons etc. and catching nothing. The next day they
switched to clams as bait and started catching fish. They do have sand crabs down that way, some very large ones that stay on the hook well. But by
far your best bet is to dig up a few pismos and use them as bait. I am sure mussels off the rocks would work just as well. fishin rich

friends at the south end of your trip during the 4 of july raved about the spotfins that would come in every afternoon. they'd be sippin' and talking
story and all of a sudden, "there they are!" a clam on a treble hook did the trick. catch and release all evening, every day.
seems the clam c-cktails kept everyone groovin'....
