PEZ REY FISHING REPORT

INSHORE – Roosterfish, Snapper, Mackerel, Corvina, Trippletail, Jack Crevalle and others were caught this week inshore.  Rains are still falling in the afternoons and creating current lines close to shore as well as farther out.  Fishing has been good with Banglas, and Lookdowns but fish have been taken on artificials.

OFFSHORE – Lots of stuff floating along current lines is producing good numbers of Dorado and Sailfish.  The trash lines have been anywhere from 10 miles to 25 miles out and most of the time there are multiple lines found.  Marlin are being caught weekly but not in large numbers yet.

FRESHWATER – Rain, rain, rain has been keeping the rivers from being clear but the higher water is not a problem so much as water color and the amount of debris floating down stream.  When they are fishable, the fishing is great for Machaca and Snook.  Contact Pez Rey for a report on recent conditions.

Fishing by trash is fun!

INSHORE – The fishing has been very fun and varied recently.  There have been 30 plus pound Roosters taken this week and well as Corvina, Mackerel, Snapper, and Dorado.  One day folks on a half day trip were able to run 6 miles offshore and fished to a trash line that was holding juvenile and bull Dorado.

OFFSHORE – The fishing has been great for Dorado because there is a lot of flotsam and jetsam around offshore.  There have been trash lines anywhere from 9 miles to 20 plus and a lot of the time there are two lines, one closer inshore and one at the edge of the blue water.  Marlin and Wahoo are being caught around offshore structure and Sailfish are being taken around trash and structure.

FRESHWATER – The rivers are still going up and down with the rains but there are days where the conditions are great.  One day can be high and carrying debris and the next can be calm and fishable.  Check with us for a daily report on water conditions.

Rooster-face!

INSHORE – The fishing has been very good with a variety of species being seen this week.  Corvina, Snapper, Mackerel, Dorado, Trippletail, and of course Roosterfish were all caught this past week.

OFFSHORE – The fishing has been all about Dorado.  With the heavy rains that are falling locally, there has been plenty of debris floating along the current lines to keep Dorado interested.  There have been Marlin and Wahoo taken on the offshore sea mounts but not on a daily basis.  Sailfish are being caught daily in small numbers.

FRESHWATER – The rivers have been high and dirty but some days are fishable and are fishing good.  Machaca are the main species.  Contact Pez Rey to see how the rivers are at the moment.

Inshore – The river mouths are dirty this week with a lot of rains in the mountains.  This produces a large “current line” that can hold Snook and Corvina that patrol in and out of the color changes.  This week Captain Pepsi caught Roosters in the 20 to 30 lbs. range, Mackerel, Trippletail and Trevally.

Offshore – There has been a lot of debris pushed out into the ocean by the rains and the Dorado are everywhere.  Sailfish were caught this week by every boat but Dorado is what is keeping everybody busy.  Wahoo have also been taken around the seamounts.

Freshwater – The rivers are really hit or miss right now with the color and flows changing daily.  Contact us to see what yesterday’s conditions were like.

Hello Folks!  Sorry for the absence of fishing reports but I wanted to leave the photos of my best friend Bella up at the top of the page as a tribute for a while.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

Fortunately the fishing has been as good as always.

Inshore – The Roosterfishing is great with Gallos being seen every trip.  Jacks, Mackerel, Trevally and Snapper are caught regularly and Snook and Corvina are near the shore and rivermouths.  There have been some big swells so we recommend that you check with us to see what the shore fishing will be like.  We have had Humpback whales in the area with calves for the past two months and we are spotting them almost daily.

Offshore – Sailfish are caught daily and sometimes not far out.  Dorado are everywhere, outside of the coastal current lines.

Freshwater – The rivers are for the most part high and dirty, but they clear up from time to time, so contact us to see if the conditions allow a trip.  The Machaca have been eating flies as well as spinners when they can see them.

Alexia's first fishy!

Happy to see the Whales.

Su primer Gallo!

Tambien, su primero!

Hooray! Up she rises off the starboard bow!

Arrr! Tharr she blows matey!

Boy meets Snook.

Snook at this!

Inshore – The fishing has been great with Roosters being caught daily and Snook, Corvina and Snapper also being found around the river mouths and structure.  The rivers are starting to fill up so the mouths are big, but are still home to 10 to 30 lbs. Snook.  There are many Pacific Jack Crevalle in the area and active schools are being seen daily.

Offshore – Dorado are being caught everywhere, and Wahoo are being found around sea mounts and debris.  Sailfish are being seen in smaller numbers but are still being caught.

Freshwater – The rivers are getting big, and are changing color with every rain storm in the mountains.  The flows are up but the fishing is good with Machaca, Snook and Roncador being caught on every trip.

Melissa Harris and Jack

Inshore – Roosterfish, Snook, Corvina, Trippletail, and Pacific Jack Crevalle all were caught by Pez Rey clients this week, among them was  Melissa Harris who caught her first Roosterfish on Sunday with Captain Pepsi.

Offshore – The Sailfish and Dorado have been active with most boats getting to fight Sails and most bringing Dorado home for dinner.  Marlin are still being seen over 25 miles out.  A good bite has been on at “bajo 26″ with many Wahoo in the area.  Captain Pepsi, Dennis Arnold and I spent the day on the veinte seis last week and had fish take Repalas, chum and dead bait.

Freshwater – The rivers area flowing at a great level and color now and the Machaca and Roncador are actively responding to streamer flies, as well as spinning tackle.

Inshore – Captain Pepsi is making clients work for their catch but they aren’t complaining.  His last trips have all produced Roosters in the 20 to 30 pound range and Snook and Corvina when they fish close to shore.

Offshore – Dorado, and more Dorado.  Sails too.  Daily reports are all the same.  Marlin are still being taken farther out.  Tuna are roaming and looking for boats to catch them.  Wahoo and all the others are being caught around the local sea mounts with artificials and live bait.

Freshwater – Machaca, Roncador and Snook are all eating streamers or spinning tackle with numerous fish caught on each float trip.

Inshore – The weather is great and the fishing is tambien.  Roosterfish are being caught almost every trip and Snook, Snapper, Corvina, Jacks and Mackerel are all seen weekly.

Offshore – The last week has seen Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Tuna and Wahoo all being caught by lucky anglers.  The bite around structure is producing numerous Wahoo and Snapper.

Freshwater – Machaca and Roncador have both become much more active since their habitats are growing again.  Fishing from inflatable drift provide the best action but wade fishing is very productive as well.

Teamwork

Inshore – The Roosters have decided to eat a little more liberally this past week with only a couple taking Lookdowns.  Sierra Mackerel have been abundant with nice 10 plus pounders lurking with the younger fish.  Snapper are eating well on bait around structure.  Some great days have been seen around the river mouths with 5 and 7 Snook trips and Corvina being thrown into the mix.

Offshore – Every boat that has been going out has been catching Sailfish and Dorado with more of the later than the former.  Marlin are still being caught weekly and Wahoo are being caught around the offshore structure.

Freshwater – The rivers are finally at a great level for float fishing trips in inflatable drift boats and the Machaca are very active now.
