Feels like summer! 95 degrees has been the average high
and mid 70's at night! The water in the Sea of Cortez is
warmer than the evening air temperature! From one day to
the next the clients started coming into the store all red
cheeked and carrying bottled water. Absolutely love the
summer! We had struggled with cold water surrounding the
tip of Baja for a couple of months now. This reeked absolute
havoc on the bait and the fishing. We were jumping from
the Pacific side to the Sea of Cortez every few days and
constantly finding ourselves searching for surface fish.
The fish were finnicky and showing no interest when we did
manage to present the bait. It seemed like the wind was
constantly blowing and the fishermen were constantly searching.
This is what fishing is all about.
The "Minerva's" made 62 fishing trips last month
and here are our catches for the month of JUNE:
By the way, I have to comment that I have never seen yellowtail
stay around so long as this year. In the month of May we
completely sold out of IRON! From what I understand from
the local fishermen there were no Salas or Sumos to be found
anywhere in this town. That has absolutely never happened
before, at least not my 32 years here. You can see by the
catch numbers above that we still found 3 stragglers in
June. I'm sure the "BIG FAT 0" next to yellowfin
tuna hasn't escaped anyone. What a disappointment, both
May and June have been slim pickens on the yellowfin tuna.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that July will bring lots
of tuna to the tip of Baja!
