Abreojo Halibut Fishing
Has anyone gone out recently or is it too early? We are in Chivato and would like to plan a trip over to the other side. Seems a few years ago, but I
recall someone fishing out of pangas and not for tuna. Info would be appreciated. dave

white grubs
I assume you are talking Storm jigs to use. Ok, these could be used from shore but what about a boat?

Welcome back. I was just over there with Pam, George, Steve, Mike & Karen. Stayed at Campo Rene. Steve & Mike walked out to the mangroves and
did well on yellow & white scampi. The only place I thought looked good for surf fishing was about 1/2 mile before you get to the mouth of La
Bocana on the Obreojos side or the mouth of Bahia San Ignacio. Les & Blanca will have the up to date report on their side of La Bocana. Come on
by.
Miles and Miles of very flat beach with no holes/structure to hold fish.

OK, I am drooling right about now. The rides, the trip, the time spend with friends, the fish, the play time, the location, should I go on? JH

Great info!
Thanx Russ, I will be down to talk. In other words, "go get your feet wet, and the adventure will happen." Now that I think of it, the Aguilara(sp)
Bros. , Les and Blanca, and Valentine and Edith connections. A boat will be had, and the surf fishin of course. Better pack the kayaks too!

I spend allot of time Halibut fishing in La Bocana BCS.......If I could pick one month to catch Halibut I'd fish July. My first trip normally isn't
till the end of August and it is still excellent but I've found the fish are smaller. Its not uncommon to have 40 fish days off the beach.....I like
the 2 oz Krocs that I can really get out there.......
If you have any questions I'm glad to help

Thanks for the tips. I usually fish 8 & 10 # setups so I use lighter Krocs, 1/2 to 5/8 oz. or a 1/2 to 3/4oz egg sinker c-rig with sandcrabs or
swimmies (soft plastic). I do have the heaver set ups (15 to 20#) but didn't bring them this trip.

5/8 Krocs are great if its not windy.....You will lose a fair share because there are lots of rocks in the areas we like to fish in Bocana.
If you go back let me know I have a friend that lives in Bocana that is a surf fishing Guro and would be happy to show you his spots.............

I talked to a fisherman yesterday who told me that the cooperativa would begin halibut fishing next week in San Hipolito & Pta.Prieta...it's a big
fishery... I hope some will escape to make it down to Asuncion...my mouth is watering already! The south swell next week will most likely push some
down our way. June/july are excellent halibut months here.

that is not a halibut.
it's another type of flounder.
true halibut are found only in cold north atlantic and north pacific.
there is a taste difference.

nah...I dont mind in the least being wrong or confused...happens all the time...I happily stand corrected.... thanks sr.chivo...flounder is good
eating too...maybe even better than true halibut.
I always wondered about that...could it be possible that some are halibut and some are flounder? Being in a transition zone, we do get some northern
cold water species here as the cold current is present this time of year.

well, some people are excused for calling it halibut, as it's common name is "california halibut." it's just another flounder. does not taste same
as classic halibut of cold north water.
people think halibut sounds fancier than flounder. truth is that some flounder are quite good.

maybe we'll just stick to the mexican name...lenguado...I like their style...leaves wiggle room. When I ask a local what a certain shore bird is, no
matter what the bird, they usually answer...serapico...which to them means all those shorebirds with longish bills of which there are several
species...keep it simple works for them!

Now that the coop has decided not to net the lagoon - we expect that the LENGUADO will be bigger and more plentiful in the lagoon itself.
Les says you can fish the lagoon all year long but the big ones come back in in June - Juanchys went shorefishing a couple days ago and caught a 27
pounder right where the pangas launch !!!
Juanchys is also a good shore fisherman and loves going out with company.
Les sometimes fishes right in front of our home - his eyes are peeled on the birds and once they start their "dive into the water show" ... I know
I'll hear the words "I'll be back in a minute" flying out the back of the quad as Les races towards the ocean.
Listen to Derek about details, he is one of our visitor experts !!
