Tony Reyes' Fishing Report
August 17 - August 22, 2003

Sunday: We embarked from San Felipe at 10:30 with the sea a virtual mirror. We made great time and saw porpoises and a magnificent sunset.

Monday: We got to the south end of Isla La Guardia. We fished jigs and got a few yellowtail, a squid, and some spotted bass. We saw a fin whale. On our trip to El Morro Blanco we encountered some heavy SE wind with a chubasco bringing lightning and a brief driving rain. We had a great bait haul in the night.

Tuesday: Fishing with live bait off of San Francisquito we did very well on the yellowtail, dorado, spotted bass and some cabrilla. We had more tranquil seas; excellent for kayaks and swimmers. Another killer sunset and more great comida.

Wednesday: We moved to San Lorenzo Reef for our morning session and did well on yellowtail and spotted bass, but dorado was the big bag today. Lots of great acrobatics and energetic runs. We moved to La Praza and we had a great time snorkeling, kayaking, and trolling lures. Another postcard quality sunset in the Sea of Cortez.

Thursday: After a quick breakfast we enjoyed a nice sunrise from the pangas along the coast from La Asamble to Ensenada Grande. We did very well with nice pargo, cabrilla, bass, some dorado and a few yellowtail. During lunch we moved to San Francisquito Norte and had a great time kayaking and snorkeling along the shoals. We found an abundance of rock scallops which we enjoyed with a feast of sushi on the stern deck. What a glorious evening. (pude viva..I could live)

Friday: The sunrise today was truly miraculous. Our first drops proved that there are large grouper at the Enchanted Isles. Many lines broke on the first strike. The 100 pound test was no match. We managed to keep a few nice groupers and released the small ones. We got nice barred pargos, and frantically exciting trigger fish bites. So much action for a small fish. Our trip home was very smooth and we made great time.

We all thank the entire crew from Captain Tony to the excellent kitchen crew, Ernesto and Raul, the deck hands, (yo no say el nombres - don't know their names), and the very knowledgeable and skilled pangueros. Muchas Gracias Y haste luegos muchachos. We will see you next time!
