fishing in Asuncion getting better n better


Thanks to storm Raymond, we are getting more warm water pushed up our way so that nice clear warm current came in real close to shore yesterday producing a bonanza of nice tails. Here is a photo of Juan's Toyota...some call it fish porn!

Serious question. For sport fishing, is there no minimum size for yellowtail? Do tiny fish count as much toward the limit as do bigger fish?

the small fish were bonita and those yellowtail were a nice size probably 15-25 lb range...here they are hanging up. But if they do catch a small fish that will not survive, they will keep it as part of their catch instead of ditching it.

Juan respects the limits and has all the permits and insurance required for charter businesses.

Nice Shari! I just had smoked Bonita down in Baja recently and it was GREAT! I always threw them back and never tried eating them. We need to get back down to your beautiful place sometime!

Catch and Release should be encouraged by the guides.

In my limited experience with the guides at Asuncion: The fish are mostly caught by trolling large rapalas. Yellowtail caught with these lures are seldom maimed and should do well if released. The bonito, being a smaller fish don't do as well because the trailing hook get's into their gills a majority of the time.

I would be interested to learn how to smoke these bonito because they're not so good in the pan and a smoked fish tastes great and will keep for a while.

Haven't figured out a way of hooking them without the injury. Unless you stop fishing yellowtail and pursue bonito with a fly.

Reports are made but depending on who is involved, often nothing ever comes of them. Thanks Zac but they arent rumors...people have told us that we have the unfortunate reputation of insisting anglers have current fishing licenses, biosphere reserve bracelets and respect the limits....which motivates some fishers to choose other operators that dont require thier clients to have them..more than you would imagine.

In a very marginal business like sportfishing, 10 more clients a year might allow us to break even.

I know people think we have a tremendous advantage because of my skills and Juan's talents & excellent English...but towing the legal line has cost us dearly and even with an advantage, it is not a viable business at the moment. Who wants to lose money and do something with so much pressure, stress and expenses??? hmmm.

Sport fishing is a tough job and with the soaring costs like gas, insurance, regulations etc.,it is difficult to operate in the red PLUS available good captains are nearly impossible to find so Juan is overworked.

Sorry for the venting rant but we are rather frustrated these days. With so few clients and more operators in the area, there is not much business so it is bothersome when we lose income for being legal.
