A change of pace today well received; latitude gained and stress free angling for the coveted kelp bass and a few trophy mossbacks. Good times, beautiful scenery, flat calm conditions - a stark contrast that restores the sweet love but doesn't fool anyone. A mean, fiery soul underpins this grace, one never to be underestimated, or forgotten.
But that knowledge was set aside as we toured and absorbed the beauty of Isla Cedros in the late afternoon. The soaking rains that accompanied last weeks demon Simon had a profound impact on the countenance of this island. All along the lee side water was still seeping and pouring from various arroyos and sheds.
The final evening stop, that produced a few big ole' yellas' and numerous sturdy bass, featured a sight to behold. Just inside our anchorage of choice flowed a 150 foot cascading waterfall profoundly audible while twilight passed into darkness. What a treat! In thirty years of visiting this island and fishing the area extensively I have never been party to such a spectacle. The visual and audible were more akin to Alaska or Panama than Isla Cedros. Three days after the rain stopped and water still pouring from the heights; very cool. Open eyes receive extraordinary favor.
Tomorrow's final push will be above and offshore in primo conditions. In search of a few dorado and perhaps even a couple more wahoo an ideal ending note of perfect weather and offshore exotics is certainly within reason. We'll be hard at it to ensure that it happens. Photos today feature a couple of wahoo from the day prior and one image grabbed from our late anchorage yesterday.
Royal Star veterans Mario Guerra and Don Ballanti share the day's wahoo honors, and Chris Hendrickson gets the nod with a 39.8#, surface iron enticed Cedros yellowtail. To Chris' left is the above mentioned waterfall. Another long range first. It never get's old.

10-12-201410/11/14 Working back north in the throes of ecstasy, and agony. The passions of a successful day of long range wahoo fishing are extreme. It is the apex of a fall ten day run. This is what anglers come for; the chance to see, to live the fishing experience of long range legend. Not just a random jig strike or picking an odd one or two at a time, schools of the big speedsters; packs and gaggles marauding within legendary long...... Read More

10/10/14 The highlight ticker reads as follows: we had some fun, got it done, then sailed off into the sun; that's how it was. School fish again, with a few standout dorado and yellowtail, were the morning quarry that interestingly, frustratingly, proved reluctant to get with the program. One had to coax and prod, and sift through a dedicated army of watermelon sized skipjack, in order to realize success in the form of a quality tuna or worthy exotic; classic ridge...... Read More
