PEZ REY FISHING REPORT

Dos pescadores, dos peces.

Rastamen vibration.

INSHORE

The rains are letting up in the mountains and the river mouths are running clear so the action is picking up with more Snook and Snapper moving around now.  And Roosterfish are being caught daily.

OFFSHORE

There are still a lot of Dorado being caught daily with double digits very common.

Sailfish are being seen daily with one or two being boated but Dorado are taking everything that is being trolled so Sails have to get in line.

FRESHWATER

The rivers are already starting to go down but the fishing is great with Machaca spawning and Roncador and Snook chasing fry.

Doggy teeth!

INSHORE

The fishing has been great for Snapper recently with some nice 20 to 30 pounders landed in the week.  Roosterfish are eating Goggle eyes and Lookdowns and the Jack Crevalle are keeping people busy these days.

OFFSHORE

Sailfish are being caught daily but not in large numbers yet.  Dorado are everywhere and are being caught in double digits.

FRESHWATER

The rivers are nice right now with the levels still high but the waters aren’t roiled like they were through October.  Machaca are eating as are Roncodores and small gualaje Snook.

Perfecto!

Inshore – This week clients were able to catch Roosters with Blue Runners which is good because with some heavy currents the past week has been difficult for catching Lookdowns.  Snook are in the river mouths and on the beaches and will eat live bait and artificials when they are actively feeding.

Offshore – Dorado are the name of the game right now with numerous being taken each day.  Peanuts are everywhere but there are nice bulls being caught by lucky folks each day.

Freshwater – The rivers are great right now for casting flies and spinning lures to Machaca, Roncador and Snook.  The river float trips do require a lot of casting in order to cover every bit of water possible but they are rewarding.  The light tackle fishing is great and the scenery is beautiful.

"Make it look like I caught it!"

Inshore – On Friday, Captain Pepsi had 3 Roosters to the boat by 8 AM and then went looking for Snook in the river mouth where they caught fish up to 20 lbs., and then they finished their half day trip by chasing Jack Crevalle that were feeding on the surface.

Offshore – Lot’s of Dorado!  They are being caught everywhere, especially around structure and debris.  Fly casting is productive when we can find floating shelter.  Wahoo and Sailfish are being taken but not in large numbers like Dorado.

Freshwater – The rivers look great color-wise, but are flowing quickly making wade fishing very difficult.  Float trips are productive for Machaca, Snook and Roncador with flies and spinning lures.

Jumping Skipjack flash, it's a gas gas gas!

The end of an epic fishing day. Roosters in the morning and Machaca and Snook in the river in the afternoon. Show us your eggs! (Do you Sea turtles?)

Inshore – The action has been great on Roosters with live bait and Jacks with anything that moves.  The Snook are happy to eat anything that swims if you can get it in the surf or in the river mouths.

Offshore – Fishing on the sea mounts has been very productive.  Peter Mosby and Eric Hansen fished the Viente Seis for one day and were able to chum up Dorado, Amberjack, Rainbow Runner and a variety of smaller reef fish.  Mr. Mosby landed 3 species on the fly and lost a really nice bull Dorado to bad tackle.  Mr. Hansen landed his first saltwater species (Triggerfish) on the fly and landed his first Dorado.

Freshwater – The rivers are getting big and the currents are strong but the fishing is still good.  Mr. Mosby and Hansen floated the rio Savegre after a morning of catching Roosters inshore, and were able to catch Machaca, Roncador and Snook on the fly.  They even had time after their epic fishing day to sample local cuisine, … Sea Turtle Eggs.

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 Roosterfish are very active around structure but are reluctant to eat most anything except Lookdowns and Sardina.  Snook are being taken in the river mouths and there are Sierra Mackerel in the open water that have will eat artificial lures.  Larger poppers can bring action with Snapper near structure in the morning and evening.

Offshore – The fishing is great with Sailfish  and Dorado seen daily and Marlin are still being caught weekly.  The Tuna bite comes and goes but they are around and not just the little guys.

Freshwater – Rivers are just starting to fill and we are expecting good things.  Last trip to the Savegre produced a lot of smaller Machaca and Roncador but no big guys are up in the rivers yet.

From Russia with love.
