AERO CAL LATEST - QUALITY FISHING STILL BENDING RODS - PHOTOS OF THE WEEK
Hope everyone had a good Easter! Here's the latest...
AERO CAL UPDATES
Nothing new to confirm with you amigos. Basically, not much movement, except for continued rumors. The only thing that changed was that Aero Cal now says it will be up by April 25th so it sounds to me like they're still in the ring. In fact, checking with Aero Mex and Alaska, they are hesitant to set up new routes for La Paz because the feeling among the competition is that Aero Cal will be coming back. I just hate the waiting. We were able to save a number of vacations last week and this week on Aero Mexico. In fact, I'll be flying myself. The average price of the tickets was $290-295 round trip Los Angeles/La Paz/Los Angeles. It will be interesting to see what develops this week. Basically, no one was working this past week because of the Easter Break which is a big weeklong holiday in Mexico. We're told that the airlines are having meetings Monday April 17th. We'll continue to keep you posted.
AMBERJACK AND YELLOWTAIL RIP ANGLERS
Despite the problems with Aero California quite a few of our fishermen still made it down on alternative flights or airlines. The yellowtail bite on the Las Arenas side died down but the pargo continued to rip up anglers with the pargo having the last laugh most of the time. Getting bit is not the same as getting the fish into the boats! If you're coming down in the next few week and the pargo are still up in the shallows, I"ve noticed that using flurocarbon sure makes a difference in the hookups. Getting the fish into the boat is still YOUR problem! Most of the pargo fishing was on the Las Arenas side. However for our fishermen that worked the La Paz side, there was a lot more success on amberjack, yellowtail, snapper, cabrilla and pargo with some of the larger fish up into the 30-40 pound class. Basically all the areas with structure, rocks and reef seemed to have fish willing to bite.
PHOTOS OF THE WEEK
Tim Farrell of Oceanside CA , wrapped two new rods for his wife, Angela. She put them to good use taking a number of yellowtail including one 45 pounder using a combination of jigs and live bait.
That's my story!
