Looking beyond the devistation to sea life, the devistation to ecosystem of the marsh lands, and the twenty years minumum before this are comes back to any resemblence of what we knew of say just last year. Looking beyone the way of life hundreds of thoudands of people will be forced out of. The businesses, the familys, the property values of oil ladden beaches, all of this is important and easy to remember and think of… But there is an issue that litterally stirs up the entire oil slick contaminated mess… The Weather! We’re talking Hurricanes here amigos…. Things can get a lot worse…
As we inch our way slowly, but surely into summer, the change in seasons have been slow indeed. The game fish like Dorado and Sailfish are slowly inching there way close to the normal fishing grounds for this time of the year to the Marietta Islands. Yellowfin Tuna are getting larger by the day, that is if you are up for the distance and the Challenge of a long day with no guarantees.
Hurrican Season is beginning…. time to find NOAA on the bookmark Page…. Developing slowly, not moving, stand by….
First: A reality check on Mexico
Mexico is in a unique position to reap many of the benefits of the decline of the US economy. In order to not violate NAFTA and other agreements the U.S.A. cannot use direct protectionism, so it is content to allow the media to play this protectionist role. The U.S. media – over the last year – has portrayed Mexico as being on the brink of economic collapse and civil war. The Mexican people are either beheaded, kidnapped, poor, corrupt, or narco-traffickers. The American news media was particularly aggressive in the weeks leading up to spring break. The main reason for this is money. During that two-week period, over 120,000 young American citizens poured into Mexico and left behind hundreds of millions of dollars.
We have been talking about the possiblity of La Nina coming on , when he sent me this information. For those of you who really keep an eye on conditons, this is worth reading and analyzing since it will affect fishing. How exactly is for speculation, it just depends on how sever or lite La Nina turns out to be, if indeed we do move into a La Nina conditon. Check the links out so you Yellowfin Tuna Guys can make your own determinations…..
People love Fish Pictures, yellowfin Tuna, Dorado, Sailfish, Rooster Fish, you name it, Hot Fish Porn, Puerto Vallarta Fishing Grounds at their best….
This week the weather was warmer than normal and the humidity was going through the roof, which believe it or not, it is supposed to be getting more like this every day. But we are seeing cold days mixed in with warm humid days. What it all means is basically we are still in a late winter mode and in turn that means the water is late warming up. That is not a catastrophe, but as we come back in to Tourism Mode as we come into late May, we do normally have Dorado and Sailfish to go after. But this is an interesting situation where as summer is coming on and things are still cool seasonally. On the positive side, we see Rooster fish north of Punta Mita, Sailfish north of San Pancho and there is plenty of bait in the water for your favorite blue plate special!
For many out there, there has been the question of how there is another Master Baiter´s store in Downtown and not be associated with the origional store in marina Vallarta. It is very simple, but on the surface is confusing. For those of you who want to know how this came down, here is the story in a tiny nutshell..
Finally, there are signs that the late winter fishing condition in Puerto Vallarta Fishing Grounds are starting to crack !!
Transition and season changes bring all sorts of challenges to Sports Fisherman with spawning, water temperatures and abundant bait in the water challenges to figure out and over come. Those who want to go fishing will catch fish, no question about that. Those looking for Moby Dick or his cousin in the bay will be disappointed, ignore that time share agent. Small Game fish abound, fishing is great and the conditions are perfect! Those looking for Black or Blue Marlin will have to wait a couple of months more.
