QUICK COMMENT - I was sitting on my porch yesterday afternoon and a fellow and his wife stopped in front of the house. He began fishing while she sun-bathed. A little later, I hear the guy whooping and hollering and telling his wife to get the camera because he is hooked up to a "pez gallo" (it’s amazing how sound travels on the beach). He brings it in and they photograph what appears to be a 10 pound rooster. A little later I went down the beach to check on one our boats coming in and he whistles to get my attention. He tells me that he has read my book and that is what got him excited about fly-fishing the beach. He had just caught his first rooster and he couldn't thank me enough for writing the book. I thanked him and he is going to stop by today (Sat.) with his book so I can sign it. That has been the story this week: Spend some time on the beach and you are going to get the shots at old pez gallo.

Overcast with some rain. MARLIN - More every week. DORADO - Most of the fish are smaller school fish with a few larger ones mixed in. TUNA - Still little action. YELLOWTAIL - Didn't hear of any this week. CORVINA - Still good. SNOOK – Devil’s Curve producing fair action as well as under the bridge at the entrance to town. HALIBUT - Not much this week. .. QUICK COMMENT - Heard an interesting report from some of the commercial shark fisherman. Their shark buoys are currently 35 miles out on a 240 degree heading from the entrada. They report that there are numerous marlin and smaller dorado out in that area. Closer to shore on the south side of the entrada on the outside there has been a pretty good pargo bite in deeper water. You will need a 10-weight with a 350 to 400 grain head to get a super Clouser down where they are hanging out. If you try it, be sure to hang on for dear life or they will rock you in a heart
