I understand that beach north of the lighthouse is producing them from kayaks or just wading out…I saw this too…pretty cool from the Lobos fishing group “
I think we can officially call Puerto Lobos “Roster Fish Crazy” and as the song says “The Boys are Back In Town” referring to the fish.
Let me tell you about a cat named Matthias that had Roster Fever so bad that he made multiple yearly trips to La Paz and the beaches of Las Arenas. He knew the big fish were there and in fact the all tackle world record Roster came from those sandy beaches. While the rest of us went off shore to catch Dorado, Tuna, and occasional Wahoo, Matthias stayed near shore and slow trolled big Lady fish until he got a hammer bite. Mathias then photographed, measured, methodically entered into his log book all pertinent information about the catch, and released the fish. Matthias only fished with Enrique the best Captain for catching the difficult bait Lady Fish and then putting you on the Rosters. Take a gander at a much younger me with a forty pounder pictured with Captain Enrique. The other photo is a small fish I caught on the beach while having our fish filleted.
Lots of folks might say Wild Bill you looked so young and fit in the pics? Well that was a long time ago and and I’m older and fat. Just remember a lot of people would love to have a chance to get old.
Matthias had passed now but I still remember him well and his passion for living. Here to hoping the good men and women of The Puerto Lobos Fishing Club have that same passion.
