Absolutely wide open dorado fishing over here!
Has been going on for about 3 days now.
Three 30# radio fish today; two caught at 11 miles. A number in the mid 20#. All mixed in with jumping marlin and sails. A 300 pound blue was
confirmed last week.
We boated six and released four. The two we kept we weighed at 17# each. I saw dorado chasing more flying fish at 3.5 miles from the bay!!! Fish
caught from 11-25 miles out in a 20 degree spread; a huge area of fish.
Two boats from San Carlos that had been fishing off the ocho-ocho down by Cerralvo and also off Loreto on a 10 day trip were hustling back to SC, as
we apparently have the best dorado fishing in the Sea right now.
I'd say every boat we talked to had boated at least 6 fish and kept fewer. One guy had a quintuple hookup near a paddy. Lost three.
Going out Saturday again; taking all women crew.
Temps are now 72-76 and water is blue. Air is upper 80s, low 90s. Some fog around as is usual this time of year.
Dorado sashimi tonight................better than the hamachi down here!

Most people are just dragging feathers. Green yellow and green white seem to be the best. But I caught two yesterday on a purple/black cedar plug. I
always run a CP at the back end.
What is also big over here is trolling rigged ballyhoo so they skip along the surface. Shops supply them frozen but they are about a dollar each so I
am not interested. KISS fishing for me.

Getting him to come back to Mexico might be more difficult than finding a clean restroom down her for Caboron.

Yea, the wild turkeys are giving me a hard time. No luck yet. Really like Mexico. If I ever return it won't be for the fishing.

Aww, come on Cypress, Next time you are down I will take you out and let you feel what a real fish feels like. Those big yellowtail will surely put
the hurt on you.

Thanks Pescador, Been a while since landing a fish has made me sweat. Have caught a few since last time we talked. Would be nice to get some of those
little San Lucas oysters and swap a story or two. Opened four sacks of those good northern Gulf of Mexico oysters, about a gallon and a half/sack.
Fished down in the bayou country last winter, a little bit of everything, specs, reds, flounders. Up in the fresh water, catfish, shellcrackers,
crappie, and bass. No offshore fishing. Good luck with all your endeavors.

Here's one about 20# that I released day before yesterday and sent on his way north towards San Carlos. In the last month I have released 70 or 80
dorado out of Loreto just to make sure neighbors to the north are not deprived this summer. (I've also kept a couple for the table.)

baitcast, Shellcrackers are similar to bluegill, have a red gill flap, they like the marsh areas that have a tidal flow and are a little brackish.
 Get bigger than most Bluegill, put up a heck of a fight on a cane/fiberglass pole
and are mighty good eating. Use worms to catch 'em.

What makes this pic so unusual Cypress is that the record Spotfin weighed 10.5#,now look at the fish on the right hand side hmmm,when was the last
time you caught a record or near record fish?
I,m sure that Woody will see to it that we see it again in the near future
