Bahia Asuncion fishing heating up!

[blowhole]

the water temps finally are over 70 degrees and fishing is picking up...better late than never eh! Shore fishing has been great with lots of halibut everywhere. Panga fishers are catching dorado, bonita, sheepshead, calico, grouper and some nice size yellowtail too. Happy to be making sashimi to serve on the patio again and smoke some bonita!

No Covid here so things are pretty relaxed and everything is open including beaches...masks are worn in the stores only and the locals are surely happy to see a few visitors start to come in to bolster the foundering economy.

Hurricane Genevieve was a nothing burger but got about an 8' swell at most and about 35 knots of wind so the kids were stoked to surf in town.

You live a charmed life Shari. Sorry Jen, Bella and I won't be able to make it down there this year. Maybe next year. Love seeing the photos we miss you and your lovely little town and the spectacular fishing.

Yellowtail bite still decent here, more dorado now especially under all those dead floating sealions! Now the barrracuda are here so the wahoo should show up any day now! tick tick tick. This youngster outfished the adults and was stoked to land this nice YT. More tourists arriving all the time now with no problems at all getting here.

If you go...be sure to stop at the panteon and have a cold one with doc Stan.

Fucking Stan. We are coming up on the 8th? (correction..Jeez...8 years?) Anniversary of his passing.

Hi Sheri

my daughter Sirena got to stretch some fish lips with Juan....yellowtail bite is hot and Rossman & other fishers have been catching beauties over 40 lbs, one guy lost a wahoo so they are starting to show now and tons of little doraditos. Beautiful fishing weather and a nice swell to catch some waves while you are here!

Congrats on the early start Shari. Hope the wahoo come in bunches for ya.
