Ensenada Fishing
report
Ensenada - Yellowtail & Bass
Report 1/19/2012
by Luis Prieto, Capt. of It's 4
Reels (fished aboard Blackjack)
We fished Thursday on the Blackjack
with Mike Kraus, Angel Garcia and David. We headed out of Mike's
slip in the Marina Coral, searching for working birds that would
lead us to our targeted species, yellowtail, which have been
popping up with regularity for the last 3 weeks.
We finally found the birds working a wide
area just before the bajo (San Miguel Reef) and we chased
boiling fish for 90 minutes before they sank out. It was run and
gun as we landed 2 out of 3 hookups on fish weighing 24 and 30
lbs. Megabaits and small irons did the trick again. The fish
were gone by 8:30 and we caught a few rockfish to end the day.
Ensenada - Yellowtail &
Bass Report - 1/20/2012
by Luis Prieto, Capt. of It's 4
Reels
Seeing all those fish made me want to do
it all OVER again on the It's 4 Reels, so Angel and I
headed out again to the same area. We were there a little
earlier and the wind was up and the water temps were down a
couple of degrees. The birds finally gathered and started
working around 7:30 but it was all show on the baitfish and
no show and no go on the yellows.
We covered the bajo, the isla and shot
across to Punta Banda for nada. What we did see were acres
of baitfish and we loaded up on small to medium macks,
spanish macks, sardines and anchovies. We also saw close to
20 grey whales for the 2 days we were out. The wind was down
inside so we fished SW of El Farro rock for some nice sand
bass and calicos on plastics and mega baits before the wind
found us again. Also spoke to Wes on the Reel Adventure and
they pulled in several ling cod on Saturday topped by a 28
pounder on mackerel.
Ensenada - End of Year Yellowtail - Report - 12/30/2011
by Luis Prieto, Capt. of It's 4 Reels
Wayde Nichols and Chris Pion timed there trip
on the It's 4 Reels perfectly. Big yellows were caught by a couple
of local boats on Wednesday but were a no
show on Thursday. We headed out of Cruiseport Marina around 6AM and
headed for the north point of Todos Santos Island. We were in and
out of light fog and stopped on a couple of spots of diving birds
for nada. We then started looking towards the area around San Miguel
Reef. We metered fish on the high spot and thought it might be
mackerel but the sabikis were loaded up with blacksmith perch.
The fog was lifting by this point and we found
diving birds working over many different schools of big yellows
about 2 miles inside of the north end of the island. It was run and
gun the rest of the morning as we chased down and hooked 10 yellows
boating 5 from 20 to 27 lbs. Chris was high man on the boat with 3
yellows landed. Wayde was hooked up constantly and managed 1 yellow.
I was snake bit most of the morning until I finally switched from
using the 45/7x size jigs to smaller heavier 6x size in solid
chrome. My only 2 hits were instant and came on the sink. Fought the
first fish for 10 minutes before it came unbuttoned and the 2nd fish
was 24lbs and fought hard. It's been awhile and it felt good to have
something pull that hard on the right equipment. Not sure how long
these fish will hang around but I hope they stay long enough for the
next charter. Happy New Year!
