MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT
THE REST OF THE STORY…
One of the “better” days. Plate-sized pargo, cabrilla and snapper
Not much to report, to be honest. It’s been the lull between Thanksgiving and the Christmas week and not alot of folks in town. And those that have been in town are looking for some sunshine and warm sand. Looking for pool time and an escape from colder areas up north. Not too interested in fishing or being on the water.
Nothing wrong with hanging out poolside when it’s too rough to fish
That’s actually been a pretty good thing because it’s been windy and even a few bouts of rain although most days are sunny. On the water, it’s been rough. We’ve had maybe only a handful of folks go out fishing who were advised about conditions, but were gamers.
The windsurfers and kiteboarders really enjoy this time of year where conditions become world-class for winds.
Fishing was expectedly scratchy at best and they had to work hard for the few fish that showed up. Most of the fishing was confined to inshore area because of the strong winds and waves. Additionally, because of the winds, it’s hard to get live bait since the commercial guys or even our captains can’t get up close into the shallow areas where the bait hangs out, if it’s getting pounded by waves. Also, since November to April is off-season and there aren’t many fishermen, the bait guys don’t go out very often at night or early in the morning to catch bait if they know there’s probably no one in the morning to buy the bait and pay them for their bait-catching efforts.
The fish that were caught were mostly bonito, jacks, some snapper and pargo plus sierra and cabrilla. Pan and plate-sized fish.
The extended forecast calls for temperatures between the low 80’s to low 60’s. Northern winds 10-15 mph.
