Sportfishing catch from San Quintin

12-8-2008
Jorge A. Rosales-Casian

A total of four boats were fishing out in three days (Dec. 5th-7th), a very low number despite the good weather conditions: no wind and sunny, specially on Saturday.

Three boats were searching big pelagic fishes and only one boat for bottom fish catch.

A number of 13 anglers were on the boats and they caught a total of 82 fishes: 25 yellowtails, 29 bonitos, 15 whitefish, 6 vermilions, 5 browns, and two lingcods.

Temperature reported by boats were 65 degrees nearshore and 68 degrees at the yellowtail area, 20-25 miles offshore.

The site of San Quint??n Old Mill was too quiet to be real, one year ago I don't found available rooms for my sportfishing monitoring after a sampling at Colonet Bay (trawl nets). However, now was a good opportunity to relax, to feel the warm light wind, to hear the birds on the sea, and smell the lagoon water. On Saturday afternoon, I had time to enjoy a Seafood Party plate (lobster, shrimps, fish and pismo clams covered with breaderumbs) at Jardines Baja restaurant during an american football game, after that we were waiting the De la Hoya-Paquiao fight with tequila shoots.

I returned to Ensenada on Sunday afternoon after 2:30 hours drive, at 18:30 was dark, cold and began a light rain.

See you later anglergators!!!
