Hurricane 7 fizzles…Greg gone



As a result of Hurricane Greg that passed to the west far below the Baja peninsula, we had some much needed rain followed by stronger than normal winds.

The weather improved in just a nick of time for the arrival of Paco Marroquin, host of the popular Mexican TV show "Vamonos de Pesca."

We were greeted with excellent inshore fishing for roosterfish in the 40-pound class as well as a yellowfin tuna bite near the lighthouse that produced fish from 15 - 40 pounds.

Later, we headed offshore for billfish and found a few sailfish eager to be stars in the show. Needless to say, Paco and I were delighted with the results and it should be an entertaining show to watch.

Also received a note from Erik von Heideken, Metolius Climbing, from Bend, OR who visited the resort with his family earlier this summer to fly fish.

"I am enclosing a few pictures from my fly fishing with young Victor aboard
the Mosca. My family and I had a great time. The pool was great, as was the food,
the grounds keeping and the entertainment."
Victor is a great captain. Please give my regards to him and I hope to return again next year.
Eric

Another stupid picture of a sailfish drug up on a boat for a "Hero Shot" with probably internal injuries and removal of "slime" which kees the fish from getting infections. Sure glad they "Released" that baby to swim for at least another hour.
