Below the border, the Coronado Islands failed to receive the memo, or maybe it was lack of interest as nice weather sucked most of the boats offshore. Whatever, not enough info to bother with.

Meanwhile, at Ensenada, Captain Louie Prieto and his girlfriend Ziu with some friends, snuck out between football games on his "It's 4 Reel" and scored on yellowtail (4), lingcod (7) with one that weighed 10 pounds, plus a bunch of bonito. All caught along the backside of Todos Santos Island. They finished up with some whale watching on mirror -like seas.

More of the same down farther at San Quintin where Captain Kelly Catian and Captain Juan Cook agreed weather was awesome and the fishing was great! They lamented that all they needed were some clients to make it a great start for the new year.

Vagabundos del Mar is hosting a mini-tournament soon.
