SOME TIPS FOR THE MULEGE YELLOWTAIL CONTEST


Okey dokey, here are some tips for the upcoming yellowtail tournament in Mulege.

Just Lately...

...there have been catches of 25-35 lbers caught with live bait (mostly a 5-6 inch bigeye is best) off the north end of San Marcos Island. An occasional larger fish here and there. There are numerous holes there, but the most productive seem to be: 1- the 55' foot mount just north of the seal rocks. 2- the 110'. 3- the 220'. If you don't have a sonar, just head over to the boats that are already fishing there. Try to get close to a local panga and be prepared to chase the birds to a boil...then cast the kitchen sink at them

...the action off Pta. Chivato, due east at the Tail Canyon (210') has not been tested enough yet. Might be the ringer!

...trolling Mirrolures south of Sta Inez Islands has produced at least one 41lber. I would ALMOST bet good money this fish would get you in first place. Look for 60-80 feet of water and make sure your drag is set...but not too tight! You want to cross it's eyes, not pull it's lips off. (please, no PETA responses.)

...if you can find Murphy's Hole near the mouth of Conception Bay you might have a chance at some really monsters caught there recently. A 42lber and some large cabrilla to 20-odd pounds. This pile of rock is about 75 feet below your hull. Live bait here...you could try 3-4 oz egg weights or just fly-lining the bigeye out and let him swim on down to be engulfed by the contest winner.

...Mateo, a local panga outfitter, has been doing well in 200 ft or so off Pta. Rosa south of the mine. Live bait in the ticket here. Good sized yellows, too. (If I was new to the area, I would rig a towline to Mateo's stern. Alex, another guide in a panga named Victoria, is no slouch either.)

Myself, I like trolling to cover the territory first.....with Mirrolures using as small a diameter line as you can get by with...say 30lb test if you like to live dangerously, but 40-50 if you are a meat-hunter. Use either hot pink or the green/chartruese ..the Tiger. Never use a swivel or any snap with the Mirrolures, but tie directly to the line with your best knot, such as the bloodcinch or a doubled blood. Get the lure way back there...at least 100 feet or better. Set your drag fairly tight, but not too tight...you should just be able to pull out line against the drag. Speed should be as fast as you can without popping the lure...about 6-7 knots. You want to outdistance the runts, right? Put the rod in a holder, don't hold it in your hands. You will need to open a Pacifico with those... and the holder does a better job of setting the hooks, anyway.

....live bait will probably produce more fish in the long run, but the quality is just not there for me. But that's just me, I don't often like sitting still and soaking bait.....although live bait will always be a good way to catch fish.

NOTE..NOTE...NOTE!!
Check with tournament rules and boundaries of the contest...some of my fishing recommendations may not be inside the contest boundaries.

6 best area choices for me:

1. San Marcos (this MAY be off-limits for the tourney..please check rules and boundaries of the contest.)
2. Pta. Chivato canyon
3. South of Sta. Inez Islands
4. Murphy's Hole off Conception Bay
5. Pta. Rosa to Pta. Teresa south of Pt. Conception
6. The Reef Bar (downtown Mulege)

The winning fish will come from _________________?
And will be caught using_______________________?

Reality check: As in most highly skilled fishing tournaments, the winner will be a sleeping woman who has no interest in fishing at all, accompanied by a turncoat retriever.

Pompano - is that carpet lining in the boat or a painted floor? looks like indoor/outdoor glue down, a nice detail. to put in my "hatch" as i continue to dream about the boat and details i'll have one day soon i hope.

thx for the tips, you're giving away the secrets man!! - wish i was fishing, but we'll be there anyway to meet some pilots this weekend.
is Pierce throwing this shindig again, and where is the post fish party cook out being held?

wonder if Alex has sponsors?

mike...my boat carpet, etc.


Mike...yes, that is regular boat carpeting as done in most all of these 'walleye backtroller boats' made for Up North fishermen. I would NOT recommend it to you as a saltwater fishing boat. I use it (or used to for many years) because of it's manuerability and openness of design. The whole boat is strictly used for fishing. The carpet is a bugger to keep clean with all the fish blood, salt spray, etc. and you must really wash it down thoroughly after each trip. I have gotten used to that detail, so no biggy for me. But there are much better bare hulls that are more maintenance-free.

I have the website somewhere for the Mulege touney and will post it when I find it..or someone else on here will, I am sure. The tourney has a 'committee' now and it headed by _____?..opps, I forgot.

Here it is..thanks, Bob y Susan...

http://www.mulegeclassictournaments.com/

(I am not much on 'committees'. If Columbus had had a committee, he would never have left the dock. Why do we bring these damn things to Baja!!..okay, that's my rant for today.)

I think the fish fry will be at Pierce, Val, and Scotty's bar at the Hacienda (Pelican Reef Bar) afterwards.

Mike, when I get my new boat, you will have to give it a look. Also here is a photo of my Yarcraft, but bear in mind that this boat was made for backtrolling for walleyes Up North. Also, a place in Los Barilles will build you a 23ft panga with T-top, 115 Yamaha 4-stroke motor, galvanized trailer for only 19K...now that is a real deal.

the director at the dept. of fisheries has asked us to let every one now that they will be checking boats in the MULEGE YELLOWTAIL CONTEST.

they will be checking for 4 things.

1 fishing licences for everyone on board.

2 Boat permit for fishing.

3 temp importation papers and sticker. this is a new requirement this year and all boats over 14.5 feet must have it even if you got your other papers before the new year.

4 currant registration for both foreign and Mexican Pangas.

He says that if you don't have any one of the papers on Bord it is the same as having nothing.

to get the temp importation papers and sticker. you must take your boat and papers including FMT, FM3 to Santa Rosalia to the office of Aduano. the cost is 50 US and it is good for 10 years.

the problem is for the people that have boats under 4.5 meters. they are required to have it by the dept of fisheries but the office of Aduano will not give them to boats under 4.5 meters that is about 14.5 feet. we are still fighting with them about this but no luck yet.

also people who got there permits through Vagabundos or other agencies to the north the permits are not valid until you get the temp importation papers and sticker.

if you have a Mexican registered panga you don't need the temp importation papers. but you do need the original factura and current local registration papers from the harbormaster

I guarantee


that this importation fee nonsense is going to knock several boats out. It has NEVER been applied to gringo boats on the peninsula. Even on the mainland, there is a free version of it if you are just coming down for a short time. Even there, there is no necessity to get the 10 year TIP. Sounds suspiciously like a local attempt at extortion.

Boy oh boy, if they begin to enforce this off the north end of San Marcos, there will be many crying inside SLC. Plenty of boats under 14 feet in there, too.

you better check it out hook, you are wrong. will your guarantee pay the boat owner back when they lose there Boat and all equipment?

any one who doubts this is right feel free to check for them selves. this info comes from the horses mouth

Hook you are doing a great disservice to your fellow Nomads here

Bruce, you also wrote

Quote:

3 temp importation papers and sticker. this is a new requirement this year and all boats over 14.5 feet must have it even if you got your other papers before the new year.


I'm confused. Who requirement is it? Dept. Fisheries wants this for boats only over 14.5 feet{4.5 meters}. The office of Aduano will only issue for boats over 4.5 meters {14.5 feet}. My boat is 14 feet and I want to be legal.

I have not heard of a requirement about a temporary import fee in Loreto yet, but I don't have a boat, yet.

I do have a kayak, 12.5 feet. I do fish from it and I do have a boat fishing license for it, as required, since Mexican regulations do consider a kayak a boat when used for fishing.

So, do I need to import my kayak?

Bruce, it seems to me that you are saying that I need the import permit, but that they won't give me one 'cause my "boat" is not long enough.

I'm tired of trying to help people who think they know everything and insist that nothing ever changes in Mexico.

I told what they told me so do what ever makes you people feel good.

Sorry, I apologize.

It is something I'll look into.

But if, as you seem to be saying, agency A requires a permit from agencyB that agency B will not produce (permits for small boats), than is not some humor OK?

But again, I apologize and I thank you for the heads up...in fact for the many heads up in the past as well.
