Mixed Bag Monday...

4 species day for one of the boats today as inshore fishing was off the hook and everyone was getting bit!

Matt Gariup and his son Michael, unfortunately fell victim to a bout of sea-sickness before they could get into any fish. To those that are reading this and are worried about sea-sickness, Scopace is a great drug that your doctor can prescribe and we never see anyone come back with issues after taking Scopace.

Jim and Barb Sullivan were up next, and after having a great trip in December they were back again this time with friends Matt and Kim Prisk in tow. Jim thought the perfect day would be to catch a few fish and then give Matt something big to pull on. Captain Javier and Mate Jesus were up to the task. They pulled in 3 nice Yellowtail that Misiones de Kino was going to cook up for them and then the boys hooked a 70+lb Hammerhead Shark for Matt to pull on. What a day!

David Hartmann and Jenny Wangerow from Farmington, Ct and David and Jenny had an amazing inshore day with 3 Yellowtail, 2 Sierra, 5 Jack Crevalle and over 20 Bonita! They too will be enjoying their fish at both Misones de Kino and Hacienda Cocina and Cantina!

Yellowtail Bite is on, and all over the place....

Not only are the Yellowtail all over the coastline in 40-100 feet of water, but Alex caught one today out near the Jaime Bank. That being said, fishing has been excellent the last few days and today was no exception.

Darcy Ellenson and Lyle Kvarnlov from Warroad, Minnesota are fishermen for sure, they just hadn't done so in the Pacific before. Most of their fishing takes place up north in Lake Michigan and this was a new experience for them. Fishing with Javier, Ramon and Juan aboard Rum Runnin, Lyle and Darcy stayed busy all day with a variety of inshore fish including 3 nice Yellowtail, some Sierra and some Jack Crevalle. Darcy and Lyle couldn't say enough good things about the boys on Rum Runnin' which is always great.

Doug Ottinger, Neil Haunbaugh and Chris Thompson fished with Alex and Manuel aboard El Nuevo RedRum today and they had an interesting day. Doug wanted to fish for Tuna and Marlin and Alex and Manuel searched near and far, but couldn't find a school of Yellowfin. While trolling out at Jaime Bank they did however hook a Yellowtail, on a cedar plug of all lures. Random place for a Yellowtail for sure, as Alex wasn't sure he had ever caught one so far from shore. The guys also caught a nice Bonita to finish off the day.
