Monoloco, your livin the dream, one of the coolest fishing shots I've seen in a while. Heck, you could send someone for ice and get a few waves.
Good stuff, fun report. Thanks  |
Thanks, actually, I stayed at the beach and had a couple of hours of good body surfing after we filleted the fish and packed them in
the cooler.

Monoloco, Ive got the same boat and a bigger 25 Wellcraft. Can you guess which one gets used more? Yes, its the 14' Klamath. I somehow loose the
feeling of the ocean in the bigger boat.
I can feel the temp breaks barefoot in the Klamath, and it makes me slow down and fish areas harder. Easier to see and smell the signs too.
Id sell the big boat right now, but Id take a huge bath on it, so she sits and waits for the longer runs or an improved boat market.
Keep posting up your fish reports, it helps us poor working guys see a little daylight while we are in the coal mines. |
I'll be heading out again in a couple of hours, I'll post some more photos if we do any good. I can't even hear any waves, so it
should be nice and calm today, which is good because the tide will be very low when we come in and there is a very shallow sandbar right now.

I suspect you must mean scientific numeric support, because the numeric support in pesos is behind the management of Mexican fisheries. Pesos support
officials to look the other way at the regs.
Actually, it's largely peso-based management that has caused the marlin fishery to be so well managed. Having lots of marlin around affects the bottom
line of all the charter operations, the hotels, etc., along Baja and the S of C. It's been largely the push by charter operations to release all
billfish. They know that billfish are what the average Joe tourist dreams about when thinking of fishing vacations in Mexico. And so, they have a
vested interest in seeing them released to lure tourists another day.
If someone could find out a way to make money releasing dorado, then they would be managed well, too.
Everything follows the money in Mexico.................it's cynical, but it's true.

I wouldn't say that
marlin are well managed here. I've seen the local pangeros stacking them like cord wood, apparently there is a market for illegal fish.

It's sad but if it wasn't marlin if would be dorado, or yellowtail, or grouper. The locals are going to catch, and keep, what is there at the time.
The grad. students reports will not change that.
ps, Nice catch.

There are regulations, but here on the Pacific, almost ZERO
enforcement, from what I have seen, it's pretty much a free for all until it's gone.

monoloco over the years lurking/reading, I congratulate you on several points: living your dream, being respectful of the air, water and land you are
on.
I would like to point out that as a charter business in Cabo, I speak w/every person who will be eventually fishing with us (as well as many more who
are just looking for the best (as in cheapest) price) Some are fishermen/women from back home and understand every aspect of conservation - some just
want to experience something different - some are doing a bucket list trip ..
Striped Marlin are not migratory - like the Blue and Black Marlin are. They are in their breeding grounds, year round. I sometimes use the
comparison of goldfish to keep it simple.
Dinero is what propels - and I'd venture to say that in some part of everyone's life it holds true - be it for more, less, or just to cover
necessities .. In Cabo, there are those that make money any way they can (and not from any remote level of integrity - some pure desperation, some
just greed) including selling fish to local restaurants without commercial licenses (hard and expensive to get) "demand" for product gets the job
done.
Have respect for those who demonstrate their respect for the air, water and land ..
Am thankful and appreciative of the ability to work with captains & mates who live/love to be on the water and pair them with visitors who are
fulfilling a dream of some kind.
Buen Provecho ... LG
