Loreto snowbirds are starting to show up in town. The roads are clear and the flights to Loreto were only disrupted a few days by the last storm. Fishing has slowed due to the change in seasons and the lack of eager fishermen out chasing after hot action. We had a great yellowtail season but after that it was a slow pick at the summer dorado. Our dorado tournaments found some nice-sized fish and then scatter! This past week had some of the smaller dorado of the year come to the boats. Aside from that, it is the resident fish that will be holding our attention. The last time I was out we saw very little sea creature scenery. Dolphin, flying fish, sea turtles...they must be all off to some convention in Puerto Vallarta! We have seen good numbers of big cabrilla and pargo. Some 25-pound toro have returned to the south tip of Carmen Island. There are still no sierra except for an occasional stray. This is the time of year for roosterfish and sierra to show up. Looks to be all a waiting game. Wait for the bait fish, big fish and the tourists. I have recently seen the health department mosquito spraying trucks in town. After every rain storm the little vampires appear to liven things up. Apparently there was some controversy about spraying due to the fact that the local bats eat the mosquitos. My Spanish isn't good enough to determine if the problem was with bat's rights or bug's rights or maybe somebody had a big shipment of insect repellent they wanted to unload first! The fishing scene is a little trolling and looking, followed by shallow water rock fishing at the traditional spots...and not many people doing that. The local hand line fishermen are always out on their special spots picking at the reds and pinto bass. It's been pretty much the same for most of this year. Late winter and early spring had the good action...since mid-April things have been very mediocre (mediocre to crappy)! ...
