You know it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose.
You and me gotta spend some time, wonderin' what to choose.
Goes to show, that you don't never know.
You got to play each card, and play it slow.
Wait until that deal goes down.
Don't you let that deal go down, no, no.
-Robert Hunter
This is, in actuality a fish report. I doubt that the General will have read through the abone in order to ascertain that it is indeed so, but for those of you gentle readers that have made it this far, you are in the correct spot. Fishing of late has been like the hand of poker referred to above, win a few, lose the rest. We are firmly in the time of year where the fishing is changing from the late winter/spring type of stuff to the early summer. Some very nice catches of yellow tail are still coming from the north point of Cerralvo, with the hot stick this week coming from a very unexpected direction. Fritz caught 6 yellow tail and a very nice amberjack (35-40 lbs.) using cocinero for bait. We have been using a combination of mackerel, Monterey sardines, caballito, and cocinero this week, with some sardines for chum. We've even hooked a few very large tuna (estimated 100+) but gotten none to the boat. So on the good side there are some very nice fish there. On the other hand (I have four fingers and a thumb) we've had some trips that resulted in very meager catches. So it's a bit of roulette table out there, spin the wheel, and takes your chances. On the third hand we've caught a few dorado, seen a few marlin, and caught a couple more amberjack, so the wheel is turning. Jump on when you will.
Mag Bay is filling up fast, we've got a couple of weeks left open, and we're thinking of expanding this years' schedule into January. The fishing changes right in there sometime with mid January being prime time for both yellow tail at the mouth of the bay, and snook in the estuary. If the thought of this peaks your neurons, give us a call.
