January Dorado in Santa Rosalia?

[PescadorJim]

Well, just when you start to think you understand something about fishing, you get a brand new twist that sends you back to the books. Ed Hogan and I were fishing the bajos off of San Marcos Island yesterday and he says something about seeing a dorado at the boat. Since the water is about 59 degrees, I think he has had too much coffee this morning, but a few minutes later when reeling his bait in, he see another. When we go to move to another location, I actually see two jumping so we edge over and put a small bait out and throw some iron in that general direction. About 25 fish later (all but two released) we decide that there really were some dorado in the area. So we had fresh dorado for dinner along with yellowtail sashimi. Now if we could just find a marlin on the 110 bajo.

Ahhh, the famous but elusive 59F Mexican dorado. I see you were drinking the coffee this morning too! They were actually coming up to the boat to ask directions to Hawaii. Like you say...you fish long enough, you'll learn how much there really is to know about fishing!

Actually they had fur coats, little rubber booties, and ear muffs.

goes to show, fish and gold are where you find 'em

I think they tend to taste better when you catch them where you weren't supposed to
