Fishing Report
It was a great Memorial Weekend in San Carlos. The ladies that competed in the Ladies International Fishing Tournament braved a rough Saturday to be rewarded with a calm Sunday. The bite sounded tough with a lot of fish seen but not too many hooked and landed. Some nice dorado up to 37 pounds were caught. My captain Arturo was out on Sunday to catch and release five sailfish on bait and circle hooks. I think that some good fishing will be going on this week.
I had the pleasure to fish the Gulf of Mexico with the boys down South on Saturday and Sunday. We fished the Memorial Big Game Tournament out of Orange Beach, Alabama. We traveled a hundred miles offshore to the oil rigs. The weather was exceptional and the fish were biting. Something large ate one of our 12 pound baits. We chunked for tuna with some success. I thought the first 50 pound fish had done me in in the heat, but the second one at 138 pounds still has me in pain. Five big tuna came in on the second day and we returned to the party. The 108 boats took nearly six hours to weigh all their fish. Boat after boat brought in tuna, but mine held out for third place and a nice check. Biloxi, Mississippi is the next stop on the circuit!
