stop playing around, bring some big boy tackle, hike out to the bird shit rock at bufeo at low tide and catch one of these, in ten feet of water....

...i was chasing yellow snapper around a rock when i went face to face with this big mother.

Way to go Danny, been feeding those puppies for years. Yep it is hard to get the guys in close enough the other problem is that they almost always rock you. Nice fish?

this was the only cabrilla i took from the point. i was hanging out in massive balls of bait and watching the sierra absolutely go nuts. also hanging out shallow and hunting the VERY skiddish yellow snapper.....also stumbled upon a small DOGGY SNAPPER which made quite the meal.

visibility wasn't too great inshore. Our highspot on the other hand greeted us with 60 foot visibility and no shortage of Pargo, cabrilla and even a teenage gulf grouper.

Guys headed down, TONS of gill netting pangas out fishing every day/evening/night. tons of bait.

good luck and safe travels

Bob, if you could gather any info about the house for lease up the road that would be awesome!

Will do Dannowar. Thanks for the tip.
My (2) two speed Avets are ready to go along with some smaller Shimanos. #60 braid with red Seaguar #25-30 top shot.

I got big Krocks and some poppers in different sizes. My go-to iron is Salas 6 X Jr. in scrambled.
I even have some knock-off flatfall lures.

Tied some weird looking flies with lots of flash on them. One even has lead wire, so it can sink.

Is that fish from the current trip, or previous ones?

Dannowar · 10-14-2015, 08:50 PM

The cabrilla is from Sunday afternoon. I really hope you score dude!

Guy's Danny is right last week there were 26 commercial pangas launching and landing from our beach. They will be here for at least two years. Most of them run to Punta Final area and they are mostly netting Sierra at night in deeper waters. Our beach is where the Mexican Government allows them to launch in the area. These pangas are mostly netters with a few Hook and liners thrown in. They do not to like it loose their gear so they STAY AWAY from the rocks. Last week I watched some of them unload. I saw 2 YT, 4 Cabrilla, a snapper and TON's of Sierra. Yes they can affect the local fishing but are not set up to fish most of the species we target. Tight Lines.

rossman · 10-25-2015, 12:18 PM

Caught my first YFT from the kayak this morning. Wish I had a nice off shore adventure story to tell but I caught it in 100 ft of water fishing for calicos with a megabait. I'll get a photo up in the morning. Dreadfully slow speeds in the middle of the day.

MrPukaShell · 10-25-2015, 12:42 PM

That's what you get for stopping by the Casino.
