MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…
Our amiga, Donna Thompson, who aced some nice yellowtail using live mackerel on the east side of Cerralvo Island.
Winter winds and chilly breezes pretty much domininated the past week. Although not really much of anyone fishing during the winter months, we had a few folks scheduled to go out this week fishing as well as whale watching over on the Pacific side all set and ready to go. However, we had to either cancel because it was too rough or re-schedule.
Had to cancel trips this week because of the winds!
Most were folks in town for a few days and not hardcore anglers. They were just looking for a day on the water and wanted to give fishing a try. Not many were too upset about staying onshore rather than braving the waves or else they had other days to re-schedule.
A few anglers did find a few small windows of opportunity to fish between bouts of wind. If you had mackerel or got lucky on a trolled Rapala, the eastern side of Cerralvo Island was holding some nice forktail yellows. These yellowtail ran about 10-25 pounds, but that can be a long run over there and you gotta scoot really fast if the winds kick up.
Also, a few schoolie-side dorado were hit here-and-there which could produce some nice surface action with fish about 10 pounds or so. As well, a few snapper and pargo pretty much round out the scant moments of fishing.
Town has been packed for Carnaval which runs from Feb. 20-26th with pretty much a good portion of the waterfront closed down with booths, rides, fireworks, parades and huge concert stages every single day. So, it’s pretty lively in town this week.
Parades every day! Food, fireworks, concerts and more!
Best place to watch the parade on the waterfront is from our 3 story Tailhunter Restaurant.!
Thanks to Jay Statman for this video clip of one of the parades!
