Fishing Report - 12/10/05

GREETINGS FROM THE TROPICS,

QUESTION, HOW CAN ANGLERS MANAGE TO BREAK TWO FLY RODS IN JUST ONE DAY OF FISHING?  EASY, THEY JUST NEED TO GO OFFSHORE FLY FISHING FOR DORADO WITH PESCA PANAMA.  IT HAPPENED THIS WEEK AS PECA PANAMA WELCOMED BACK; ANGLING BROTHERS WILL AND TIM BRUNE, MASON MORFIT, GUY POULIN, ALAIN SCHORI AND JEAN LECONTE.  CAPTAIN TRAVIS ‚ "ROBERTO" PETERSON WAS EXCITED TO GUIDE HIS FATHER, JUDD PETERSON, THIS WEEK ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF JUDD'S BUDDIES FROM ALASKA DOYLE OHNEMUS AND VINCE MCMURRY.

BREAK OUT THE POPPERS AND THE SPINNING RODS AS THE YELLOW FIN TUNA ARE HERE!  RAVENOUS SCHOOLS OF 10 TO 140 POUND TUNA ACCOMPANIED BY HUNDREDS OF PORPOISE HAVE ONCE AGAIN TAKEN RESIDENCE IN THE OFFSHORE WATERS NEAR MONTOUSA!  THE TUNA PROVIDED OUR ANGLERS WITH SENSATIONAL ACTION, BOTH CASTING WITH LIGHT TO HEAVY SPINNING RODS, AND LIVE BAIT FISHING WITH HEAVY CONVENTIONAL AND SPINNING GEAR!!  CAPTAIN ROBERTO HAD AN EXCITING DAY KITE FISHING FOR YELLOW FIN.  DANGLING A BLUE RUNNER FORM THE KITE RELEASE CLIP THE ANGLERS HAD INSTANT GRATIFICATION AS 100 PLUS POUND TUNA LITERALLY FOUGHT OVER THE BAITFISH! VINCE HAD THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE LANDING HIS FIRST EVER, LARGE TUNA, 125 LBS, AFTER THE FISH CRASHED A KITE BAIT!! JEAN AND ALAIN ALSO HAD SOME BIG TUNA ON SPINNING RODS!!! AFTER LANDING SEVERAL "FOOTBALLS" CASTING THE TWO DECIDED TO MAKE A RUN WITH LIVE BAIT ATTACHED TO THE BUSINESS END OF THEIR HI-TECH, EXTRA HEAVY SPINNING OUTFITS!!! THEIR EFFORTS PAID OFF AND ALTHOUGH JEAN LOST HIS FISH NEXT TO THE BOAT, BOTH THE GUYS HAD SPECTACULAR FIGHTS WITH 100 PLUS POUND TUNA ON SPINNING GEAR!!

THE DORADO NUMBERS ARE ON THE INCREASE AND WE HAD GOOD ACTION ON NICE SIZE FISH THIS WEEK! ATTACKING POPPERS, FLIES AND BAIT EVERYONE HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE SOME DORADO ACTION!   A FEW TASTY TRIPLE TAILS WERE ALSO HOOKED AND LANDED.  THOUGH THE NUMBERS OF WAHOO SEEM TO DROPPING OFF THEY WERE STILL SOME AROUND TO BURN UP OUR ANGLERS DRAGS.

BOTTOM JIGGING WITH OUR NEW SHIMANO TN 40'S AND SUMO JIGS PROVIDED SOME KNEE BUCKLING HOOK-UPS. AMBER JACKS, CUBERA, YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER, WAHOO, AND SEVERAL SPECIES OF JACKS READILY ATTACKED THE JIGS .  THE ENTIRE CREW AGREES THAT THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE "JIG" AS WE HAVE SEEN "OFF THE CHART ACTION" AS WE IMPROVE OUR JIGGING TECHNIQUES AND FIND NEW AREAS TO FISH!

THE INSHORE ACTION ALSO INCLUDED SOME GREAT ROOSTERFISH AND CUBERA ACTION! TEAM LUCHO, WILL, TIM AND MASON HAD SEVERAL NICE ROOSTERS TO 50LBS!! FISHING WITH TEAM MACHO "THE HIGH TECH FISHING CREW" , GUY, ALAIN AND JEAN, WENT TO BATTLE LANDING (AND LOOSING) MANY NICE SIZE CUBERA AND ROOSTERS WITH THEIR TOP-QUALITY GEAR!

IT WAS A GREAT WEEK GUYS, THANKS FOR PUTTING IN THE EFFORT AND WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF THE GREAT SPORT FISHING ACTION THIS AREA OFFERS!!!
