Fishing Asuncion 11/13 Report
Just got back from 10 days in Baja. We left El Centro on 11/11 and made as far as Coco's Corner where we spent the night. (The road from Huerfanito
to Gonzaga is as bad as always.) Coco is a great host.. Coco is doing well, looks good and is getting around as best he can. Unfortunately, for us
for us it was cold and the wind was blowing. Coco asked to where we were headed and said Asuncion to fish. He told fishing was not to good there at
this time. He was right!!!!!
The next day we were up on our way to Asuncion and were there around 2pm. The plan was to fish with Kalico Loco but we were informed that due to a
family emergency he had to go to La Paz. Luis was assigned to be our captain.
For accommodations we rented the house next to Kalico from the Canadians for $ 60 per night. The house was comfortable with all the need amenities...
We were up early and ready to fish on the 13th, weather was cool, clear with a light breeze. Luis did his best to put on the fish around both islands
and San Pablo but no luck.
We attempted to fish for Calicos and did manage to snag only 4. Luis did and excellent job of handling the panga near the rocks to fish for calicos
but they were just not biting. I would fish with him again and appreciated all his efforts to put us on the fish.
Since the fish were not biting we decided to head back to San Felipe via Gonzaga.. Well about half way to Coco's from Hyw 1 we got a flat. Piece of
glass!!!!. Changed the tire and we were on our way again. Camped at Oakie Landing for the night and went after triggers the next day but they were
not biting either. It was time to head back to San Felipe.
Wwe made back to my San Felipe house with no problems or flats and fished the following day. This time we had good luck got our fill of corkers and
corvina. We had to stop fishing at noon because we had plenty of fish, eventhough the bite was still on. Wednesday we fish for triggers and caught 7,
not bad. Thusday, was the Baja 100 found a good safe place to watch it. My son and his team raced a Honda xr 650 but unfortunatly they blew the motor
outsdie on LA Bay. Big dissapointment!
Fish in San Felipe on Friday the 19th but it was slow..
This had been one strange year for fishing...

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Timing was just a little off---
It has been that way this year.
Manuel---Kalicos loco just sent me a couple of photos from now- he said there are a lot of yellowtail now, but all in the 20 pound range.
And before you were there, the spear fishermen with him got some bigger ones.
Guess you need to return soon, do some more fishing and enjoy the magnificent views from that house!

Oh no, the dreaded
"You should have been here yesterday"
How often does a fisherman hear that one?

I've noticed this phrase is only used by those with a vested, economic interest in the area in question. I once saw a sign in a local fly shop:
"The fishing will improve as soon as you leave"

How about some pics of these hog corbina/corvina? I've had really enticing reports of the sandcrabs, corbina & croaker fishing in the last couple
weeks. But it's all talk no pics.

Remember the snipe hunt in Spin and Marty?
That's where you go out with your partner at night clanging two horseshoes together while he's ready, holding the bag. They're attracted to the sound.
Everyone else is back at camp laughing their heads off.

the guys fishing arent photo types but I personally saw one that wouldnt fit in a normal size cooler...shoulda taken a photo of it...dang...these guys
are avid shore fishers and said it was the biggest corvina they ever caught and surfdoc said the same...it's going to be the new secret spot but we
may share it with you Igor when you are here...it's a deep drop off right at the shore with a rip tide and the corvina are finning right up at the
beach...real cool...juan cant wait to get a day off fishing to go there.

Reminds me of a book I once read about trying to encourage a spouse to take up flyfishing. Title:
"Wade a Bit Deeper, Dear"
