I hope everyone had a good Easter!
For our part, we had a great Easter week here in Puerto
Vallarta.
 Wahoo
is probably the most elusive fish in the ocean. Even
if hooked, they have an uncanny ability to de-hook themselves.
They will grind their jaws and dislodge a treble hook
like the hooks on a yozuri hydromagner, also with the
sharpest teeth in the ocean, they will cut through 400-lb
test mono without knocking the line down off the outrigger,
and that's a fact! It’s happened to me, so if
you are using anything but a single hook lure for Wahoo,
change it!
Because the Wahoo are wide open at
Corbeteña, they turn on and off fast off any
given lure, so make sure you have a few different kinds.
Dorado continue to be just about
everywhere outside the bay. You can pick them up trolling
medium size Hi5 lures or prosoft scuppers (lure), troll
a couple of dead 'Lisas' along with them and you will
definitely pick up some nice sized Dorado. Just look
for the birds and you will find Dorado along with Sailfish.
The water is now 81° and everything is available.
Also along with do-do’s and Sails are Striped
Marlin. Striped Marlin aren't around Puerto Vallarta
much as a rule and when they are, they don't stay long
…but they're here now! Tony in a private local
yacht named "Animal House" nailed 6 stripers
on Monday. They were all released, but what a blast
fighting and watching these rare to P.V. fish jump and
greyhound across the surface! Tony uses primarily lures
and a lure-hooked marlin will fight very differently
than a live bait-hooked Marlin. Lure-hooked fish will
jump and shake because they are mostly mouth-hooked,
so they break the surface and try to shake the lure
or hook free while a live bait hooked marlin more often
than not will dive and go deep. They will jump mostly
when they are close to the boat, you can tell when they
are going to jump by watching the line move up towards
the surface. Have someone ready with a camera so, you
can get a picture of the airborne striper. Black and
Blue Marlin act the same way.
So if you want a good mixture of game fish, now is the
time! Fishing is good, not great for the giants, but
lots of action all day! Who knows? You may just get
lucky… Besides, you won’t catch anything
sitting around the pool or shopping downtown except
a suntan, credit card bill or hangover. Get out there
now and have a fresh fish dinner with your catch. Did
you know that you can take up to 70 pounds of fillets
to USA or Canada per person? You need a regular cooler,
no ice & no dry ice. Master Baiter’s Sportfishing
& Tackle have the ONLY freezing service in town.
So, take it home and remember your fishing trip all
summer long & every time you pull it out of the
freezer, you can show off “the one that didn’t
get away”.
