This was a very interesting week.
1) The port was closed and under
a “Hurricane Warning” for a category 1
hurricane (Marty) only 90 miles from the beach, and coming right at us. It was
rough on the ocean, and justifiably the port was closed. But, on land we just
had a very refreshing 20-30 mph wind for a few hours. And, a thankful slow and penetrating
5 inches of rain over 24 hours. It cooled things down again.
No damages anywhere in this area,
but there was wind, rain, and wave damages near Acapulco (130 miles to the
south of us). The high Sierra Madre Mountains saved us again by building an
artificial high pressure when the storm’s air compressed against them.
2) The (super) full moon sure
didn’t help the offshore fishing, the high tides, or the inshore fishing on the
back side of the waves for roosters. We
had high waves, which reached up into areas we haven’t seen for a couple of
years. Hurricane Marty didn’t help by pushing large swells at us either,
compounding the effect.
3) And a 5.3 earthquake on
Tuesday. A quake is really guaranteed to slow down the fishing. Basically sitting
on bedrock, my house felt the quake just race through. But the noise was like a
freight train coming into your living room. Like the lion that roared, but was
only a mouse. The guy delivering our 5 gallon jugs of water had just opened our
front gate and was about to bring two jugs inside when the quake hit. I shot
out from under the terrace and noticed the electric and telephone lines were
hardly moving. He was frozen on the spot. I called out to him “I am not paying
extra for the quake…only the water”. When he was in the house, I told him if he
brings that kind of Sh…with him, I am changing companies. I gave him a great
tip. He was a white as a ghost Mexican.
Offshore – No
report
Exactly
as the last few weeks, the Inshore is
again the best bet. There are sierra, black skipjack tuna, jack crevalle, and
ROOSTERS. The fact the sierras are still here (a cooler water species) tells
you of the abundance of bait available.
