CHAIN OF FOOLS
Striped marlin are thick from Rancho Leonero to
Punta Perico. There are also a few nice dorado and
some sailfish in the mix. All day fish are putting on
an incredible and exciting show jumping, tailing and
feeding. The fish are plugged with squid making it
hard for anglers to get the bite. Seeing all the life has
not allowed many dull moments. It has been action
packed baiting fish after fish hunting for one that will
go.
Early in the week there was a good rooster bite but
they have taken the last couple of days off.
Live bait has been hard to come by. The bait
pangeros have not been able to make bait at night so
frozen ballyhoo has been the only option for
purchase in the morning. It is a bit of a weird
phenomenon because a mix of spanish mackerel and
sardineta are coming to the surface about a mile off
shore as soon as the sun rises. We have been able to
catch the bait that won't bite in the dark for the
pangeros. Sardines have completely evaporated and
cannot be found anywhere. I was talking with some
of the pangeros at Muertos bay and they believe the
bait has just gone deep.
Chain, chain, chain. Fish are feeding on squid why
not a squid chain?
It was a pleasure to have AFTCO's Greg Stotesbury
fish with us a couple days this week. We have used
AFTCO gaffs, gloves, harnesses and other hardware
for years. Now they have a new clothing line with
some very cool stuff.
Red Rooster skipper Andy Cotes vacationing at
Rancho Leonero also got in on the action with some
friends on Jen Wren. Andy loved the all Accurate gear
on our boat.
