We had a first-hand report from Richard Castaneda at Cass Tours, having fished a 4-hour morning aboard the Pescadora I. He caught 3 barracuda, 1 small reef shark and 1 red snapper that weighed about 15 lbs. or so, and the picture looked like it would have fed a family of 6 or 8. It was a dandy dinner fish and the crew enjoyed the opportunity to take it home. The overall catches reflected another wide variety of critters that is so typical of this area. One just never knows what they will catch on any given day. The overall counts for 10 days fished reflected 4 yellowffin tuna, 1 amberjack, 12 king mackerel, 19 barracuda, 9 bonita, 1 reef shark, 3 grouper, 4 red snapper and 1 Sierra.
