Look Myrtle, It's a Dang Fishing Report!!

Fishing is following the usual late summer curve. Mostly dorado, 95% dorado, with an abundance of smaller fish, in the 8-20 pound range, happening along the shorelines and inshore from Boca de Alamo to Sargento. These fish are coming mostly on squid, which remain in profusion. El Peloto did his lifetime personal best this week with a 30 pounder, also inshore, but fish that big have mostly been coming from the buoys. Fewer but bigger fish has been the story there, using molcate and bonita for bait. No tuna in the last week, a couple of wahoo, a few billfish, and one 45 pound amberjack. Tropical storm Ivo kept us off the water today, bur not tomorrow. It is hurricane season, but then you knew that. DISCLAIMER, NEY APOLOGY: It seems as though I may have regruntled one of my most unique customers a couple of weeks ago when I made an, I thought, good natured, comparison between him and a very famous aquatic fowl, one Donald Duck. Other than the chronic lack of pants, I have always been, and remain a fan of DD. His exasperation with that damned mouse, and life in general, have always reminded me of parts of me, and so my comparison was not intended to be insulting. Apparently TG was miffed as he has not recently donated his usual quota of nitrogen rich material to my life. Come on my liege, get over it. David
