You Shoulda Been Here, er, tomorrow!

Lots of changes happen on full moons, no John I don't mean when you grow all of that facial hair and begin to howl in earnest, I mean changes to the weather, and fishing. We've had 5-6 days of weather that makes me think that our last blow has blown (a little like getting married, oops)and that spring has sprung. 85 degrees, light winds, very nice. But along with that news comes the news that the yellow tail have moved on, at least for now. As you'll remember Woodrow and I caught some nice ones last week, but over the weekend, on the back side of the full moon, poof. A good side of that is that all of the commercial guys that were working them have all moved south after huachinango. It isn't so much the competition for the big fish, but 25 pangas fishing commercial every day can be really hard on the bait supplies. Lots of nice sardine up the east side of the island, and now they are ours. So it's time for the boats to spread out a little, and go hunting. Today a couple went for pargo lisas and did very well, a couple went to the buoys and caught the first dorado of the year, not huge but nice, and the few remaining commercial guys got a few 25 kilo tuna on the wall off the southeast corner of Cerralvo, not a lot, but a few. So as the circle keeps on turnin' we'll addapt, hang at the old haunts, and do what we do. Come down and do it with us. David
