I'm such a loser
Fishing report from Loreto.
We left the Loreto marina at 6:15 A.M. this morning, went to the "bait hole", got around 20 big eyes and were off to the races. The problem is I
didn't know we were mudders. Went to just the North side of Carmen, nothing. Went around Punto Lobo and fished the various spots on the East side of
the Island, nothing. We fished the South side of Carmen, nothing. We gave up and trolled the West side of Carmen for Roosters, nothing.
3 fisherman, 7 hours, not a bite. Were such losers.
Weather turned out to be slightly windy, in the 70s, water temp around 61.
But as the saying goes, "a bad day of fishing beats a good day of work."
To all of you freezing your butts off, I am not complaining, just a report from 3 losers.
I shall not mention the names of the other 2 fisherman as I do not want to smear their reputation, but you know who you are.

It was exactly like that three weeks ago. One day would be wide open and the next two would produce nothing. A Panga Captain friend said the water
was turning over quite a bite producing large temperature changes. Who knows? Give it a month and I bet the YT bite turns on hard.

Should have been there yesterday
I know it's not funny when you got the bait and put in the time and zippo.
Oh how I know the feeling! I'm a practicing member of the club too.

if it was wide open every day it would lose its appeal. kinda like the one that gets away is why you keep going out after a day like the one you
had.....

Tuesday of last week the water between Cerralvo and Muertos/Suenos was 68.5 degrees. This Tuesday it was 64-65 degrees. I'm thinking a week of wind is
to blame. I need to go to California for about 10 days soon. Now is a good time. I sure hope the water warms up before I get back.
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!

Howard, Check out the online report by Sea Watch regarding the Sea of Cortez. They interviewed numerous sports and commercial fishermen. All agree,
their catches have dropped at an alarming rate.

Your story could be for any recreation that is dependent on weather and Mother Nature. Can't tell you how many times I have gone surfing, finding it
really bad, only to hear "You really missed it, should have been here yesterday" Same with skiing, been up to Mammoth only to find ice and crud, next
week, 24" of new powder is deposited. Win a few, lose a few. Then again, those days where the stars, moon, and sun all line up and you catch it
perfect...... makes it all worth it.

dtbushpilot, Agree! I caught more lbs. of fish on one trotline in one night than in 4 months of fishing the Sea of Cortez. And you're right I caught
'em down home on the bayou. Catfish fried to a golden brown with some hush puppies on the side, a little slaw........

My post wasn't meant as an SOC fishing obituary, just a current report. As soon the water warms up in it's own cyclical way, I believe that fishing
will return to a dazzling level. No, I don't believe it will return to like "the good ole days", but it will return with mucho fish to be caught.

Howard pay no attention to Cypress he,s "Mr Negative"on the site guess he never caught much but trigger-fish
Otherwise a good guy.
Rob
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

baitcast, Did you read the Sea Watch report? About those triggerfish, they were small. My fishing was done from a kayak, inshore. In all that water
there are fish to be caught. Guess my expectations were too high. I appreciate the inshore and offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico much more now.

Well there must be something left. These guys have netted non-stop for over a month. I haven't been able to figure out what they're hauling in in this
area only a few rocks, shallow & I've drug a bait on a C-rig and only come up with lizard fish.
Here's my best catch this year

You can still catch fish on Craigslist!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.
