Of All the Big Bull Headed...

While that could have been the beginning of a conversation between Jane and I, comin' my way, in this case it refers to yesterday, July 13, 2013. This was a day that will be remembered. We had more big dorado on the beach than any day that we can remember. We had either 41 or 42 fish on the beach, the smallest of which went about 35lb. and the biggest in the low 50's. There weren't any fish that were any smaller. That's the biggest pile of big bulls that either Chris or myself can recall. These fish are coming off the buoys, mostly between 12 and 18 miles out, most of them on bait, most of them on either bonito or caballitos raised on those self same buoys. While we've also been catching wahoo most every day, and encountering tuna on a regular basis, it is dorado that have been center stage for the last few weeks, culminating in yesterdays dorado orgy. The water still isn't what it should be for mid July, and no one is catching 20 fish a boat, but the ones they are getting would all be trophies in Cabo, Texas, Florida, or North Carolina. La Paz, what a place to fish. David
