Fishing Puerto Lobos this weekend - there's some big brutes cruising around. Fish were boiling in early morning and late afternoon around large bait schools south along the cliffs. Trick is to throw surface iron at them, fast retrieve. They'll charge the iron, but don't always take it. The fish aren't boat shy either. Pic is a 38 pounder, the biggest one we got. Picked up several others, too, plus a nice grouper trolling. We went out to a deep reef, but it was goldspots only. Saw two molas (ocean sunfish) on the way out that had to be well over 400 lbs. Very neat to see them in the Cortez! Beautiful weekend, great weather, great water, can't wait to go back!

I was thinking along those same lines, and about trips many years ago.
~ ~ ~ Soon as I get my scanner, printer, I'll post some pics. ``` of yellows by the hundreds, & other fish from the times we were in Diego, this last Oct. when we were there I got a pic. of one that went 61.2 lbs, hanging on the scale, biggest yellow I've seen down there, I mean BIG, GRANDE ! ! ! ``` for the most part it's the long rangers that go for up to 15 days, like to the Cedros, & the Hurricane's, that bring in the heavies like that,

Wow...Hell that is a big one!. The guys at ThunderCanyon Brewery in Tuscon smoked one we caught 2 weeks ago and it is the best!
