Fishing Improves with Rooster Fish Numbers increasing, not easy!

For the last couple of weeks Mexico as a whole has had some serious rain. Guadalajara, Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta got a fair share of rain. This rain ultimately results in water in the rivers which of course flow to the sea, in this case we´re talking about Puerto Vallarta. If you read my summer time online articles then you know dirty water from inland will flood Banderas Bay with coffee colored water. Naturally fish don´t like ¨breathing¨ this dirty water going through their gills so they leave the area or won´t take baits they can´t see. With this dirty water comes all sorts of ¨Trash¨ from dead horses, floating debris of all kinds, I´ve even seen refrigerators floating out there. If you´re on a boat, then you´re looking for signs of underwater obstructions like stumps, tires, you name it! Other than putting trash in the bay, these rains also bring nutrients to the ocean that fish love to feed on, we call this a ¨Trash Line¨. So Rain can be a double edges sword, that is a plus and a minus, it just depends on which side of the ¨trash¨ you´re on.

Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, They´re All Out There, Bait Issues!

This week we pick up where we left off last week. Things are pretty much the same with some small differences. We still have fish, tons of fish, we also have tons of bait and there lies the problem. It´s a bait factory out there, you name the bait, we´re sporting it right now! Blue Runners, Sardines, Flying fish, Bullet Skippies, Krill shrimp, Krill squids (1 inch), Google eyes, Skippies and who knows what else.
