June 2025 Loreto
Les Books and I went to Loreto and fished Rubio Sportsfishing Capt Carlos.
Les wanted to catch his first roosterfish. It only took 10 minutes, his first of about 8 or 9 hook ups each, including one that took off on a 150 yard plus run (probably over 30#) and wrapped Les's fly line around a rock and sawed the line off. We also caught Jack Caravelle to 20#, needle fish, trumpet fish, more than 6 varieties of pargo/snapper incluing mangrove, yellow eye, pink, orange, etc. Also cabrilla (sea bass), pompano, yellowtail at 22#, and saw a marlin and a small dorado
Les did his best and bbq'd steaks, etc while I fried in eggs and cracker crumbs olive oil and butter yellowtail, cabrilla, pompano, and snapper. We also cooked some 6 to a pound giant shrimp and octopus.
Les also reacquainted with Beyonce his favorite tabby cat.
The pool was great and we had temps of 97+ on three days.
I will put together a slide show for a fidalgo FF meeting. And post some pics to here later.
