Friday, Febuary 22nd

Once again, I apologize for the delay. A full moon that stuck around Baja for what seemed like forever slowed the fishing down earlier in the week but it seems like all is back to normal now. The fished have seemed to have moved from Golden Gate to now West of San Jaime.

El Nuevo had a good day back in action catching and releasing 2 Stripe Marlin as well as a nice Wahoo for dinner. The Wallace group got a little bit of a late start after leaving behind one of their buddies and having to return to the dock! They had a great time fishing with Juan and Alex.

Cesar was able to bring a Marlin to the boat with the Berthold party. It was the first Marlin Tantrum was able to hook in 3 days as conditions have reduced the appetite of the Marlin during the fishing hours. With a full moon fish tend to eat throughout the night which gives them no reason to feed during the day.

Omar and Jesus stuck inshore and caught heaps of Sierra as well as Yellowfin Tuna. In shore fishing is one of Captain Omars specialties, he knows exactly how to handle ReelRum with the in shore conditions and is very successful.

Rum Runnin was still trying to get back into the swing of things spotting many Marlin with the Stillwell party but comming up a little short at the end of the day.

We are betting on the fish count to continue to increase as the full moon has reduced in size and conditions are getting better daily.
