JUST FOR KICKS
For another week yellowfin tuna stole the show on
the East Cape. Just a few billfish and dorado have
been landed this week while most boats are
returning from a days fishing with fish lockers full
of tuna. Porpoise schools holding huge schools of
yellowfin have moved closer to shore and have not
been hard to find 10 to 25 miles from the beach
between Punta Perico and Punta Arena Light house.
An occational sailfish or marlin are showing in the
porpoise but for the most part it is tuna, tuna and
more tuna. Most fish are 30 to 40 pounds with a
larger model to 100 surpising anglers once in a
while.
After 5 days on the beach working on gear and
doing maintainance I couldn't stand it any more.
With no charters this week I grabbed our crew and
said let's go have some fun. We didn't get 10 miles
off shore before sighting a school of spotted
dolphin. We didn't have time to get all of our
trolling lines in the water when clickers started
singing. It didn't take long and we had all the tuna
we needed.
When a few other boats showed the tuna became a
little more finicky and the bite slowed a bit. Just for
kicks I pulled out my Accruate SR12 spinning reel.
Being able to cast a tiny live sardine a long way was
all it took. BENDO! Loaded with 40# it is amazing
how much heat that little spinner will allow you to
put on a fish.
We spread the wealth to our gardner, maid,
accountant, diesel mechanic, trash man and
neighbors
