Fishing for weather
I find it amazing how much the weather dominates what we do. In this day and age when we humans have been to the moon and back, seed clouds for rain and snow, damn rivers and hold back the oceans, yet when the weather is crappy we are stuck inside. Sure there are those that venture out into it with protective gear and rod in hand, but for what? The love of fishing, or just because.....? It's wet, cold and darn right miserable.
Now before I go on I must first stress how much respect Rosie and I have for these fish. I refuse to let anyone kill one and do everything in my power to return them in good condition from whence they came.
Now for the grip and grin shot. I just love this guy.
It went quiet for a little after that firecracker start.
Here is a close up of Yuki in action.
Next up is a nice Red Bass that put up a good fight. Notice the size of the swell behind Yuki, and how rough it is.
This is Kanto with a classic action shot.
Kanto had a bit of a rough go in the beginning. He was hooked up to a giant and could not really handle it. He was a bit overwhelmed by the shear power of the GT. Unfortunately he lost the fish but not the lure.
Yuki, not to be out done, lands a nice Bluefin Trevally.
Another Red Bass and a Bluefin Trevally were boated. Unfortunately no more GT's were to be seen this day. All said 6 fish were boated and there was four misses. Not to bad for a half day out. We all had a good time and made plans for another trip.
You can check out Yuki's blog at 
As I type this it is raining, no it is pouring and it is so loud that it is the only thing I can hear. If I were to go outside I would literally be soaked in seconds. As you know I live in the tropics so rain gear is really out of the question. I would sweat to death and then end up wetter than if I did not wear anything.
Ok you get the point that weather does play a major role in my/our fishing times and lives.
So it came to be, Yuki wants to go fishing again on Sunday. We make the plans to meet at 7:30 at the boat.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday all have fine weather. In fact the weather is so fine I start thinking Sunday is going to be fine. What a fool I am.
I wake up around 4:30 to the sound of wind and driving rain. I better text Yuki and see what he thinks. Not surprising he says we go. As my Australian friends would say, "fair dinkum". We go.
As Yuki, Jose and Imaken (Kanto) arrive at the boat the sky actually starts to clear up and for a brief moment I feel that the fish gods are smiling at us. Yeah right, dream on.
We head out with high expectations and visions of Giant Trevally.
As we clear the river mouth the first thing I notice is a Southerly swell and a NE wind. Not what the doctor ordered.
It does not take us long to arrive at our starting point and the first casts are made in no time.
With in minutes Yuki is hooked up to a nice GT. After a classic Yuki fight where he almost gets pulled out of the boat, he weighs maybe 60kg, the GT is boated.

This next image is Yuki and myself performing a bit of hook removal surgery. Notice the blue saltwater hose in the mouth. I had to remove the hooks from the popper to get them out. Luckily the gills were not hooked and only minor bleeding that was stopped by the time I released it.

The weather then started to act up. With the wind kicking up to 25knots and rain squalls blowing through, it's amazing we even caught another fish.
Here is a shot of Yuki and Jose doing the popping thing.

Good for him he persisted and never gave up. He eventually hooked a very large Unicorn fish, albeit in the ass, but a fish is a fish.

Thanks for the update...I appreciate checking on that....
unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it...I was a bit nervous about driving 2 hours to find frozen creeks...does it stay open most of the time because of the springs influence? I should have just gone...
I will be going out that way for the sportsman's show...either stop there or green springs in newville...

Lake Baccarac | Mexico Bass Fishing October, 2010
Date: October 22nd, 2010
Name: Lake Baccarac Lodge
Hottest Baits: Super spooks, Smithwick jerkbaits , Berkley swim baits, 10" worms in clear colors, Senkos
Hottest Colors: Shad, Watermelon
Date Fished: October, 2010
Comments: Oct. 18th - The week of Oct. 10th to Oct. 15th : Best baits being Rico Pop-Rs, yellow magic, along with senkos and watermelon red flake, five inch storm wild eyed swim baits in white, chartreuse and pearl, along with ten inch ghost and watermelon seed Berkley Power Worms. Fishing started out very strong with Gil Wright catching a 10.4 pound bass and on the same day catching an 8.10, a 7.11, a 7.0, a 7.3 and a 7.1. Denis Bootenhoff also managed a 9.9, 8.8, 8.5, 7.12 and a 7.5 black bass. Gerald Hatch, while bass fishing with Manuel, caught a 9.7, and Baird Archibald's big bass of the week was an 8.4. Bill Fruit landed a 9.6. The action picked up towards the end of the week and topwater fishing was fantastic, with Tom Spanel of Amarillo catching 45 largemouth using surface plugs. Not every session was fantastic but the sessions that were good were excellent. Lake Baccarac is currently 93% full and all groups reported a great time.
Oct 21st - The reports from the Lake indicate that topwater fishing has slowed but the senko bite has been really good. The deeper fish like the 10inch power worms. Dr Bill Tyson reports boating his biggest stringer on Monday of 5 fish 41 pounds.
Oct 22nd - Not much to report as bass fishing slowed with the hot days. Most boats reporting 40 bass up to 6 pounds caught on senkos and jerkbaits. Bill Tyson's boat did not have any luck on topwater in the morning or evening.

A Bass Fishing Suggestion
For many bass anglers in the states, catching Largemouth Bass over ten pounds is almost an impossibility. The northern states in particular rarely see a bass of that size. But there is a simple solution to this problem....head South of the Border to old Mexico. In Mexico, mild climates and abundant forage translate to perfect habitats for trophy bass. In these lakes bass can grow up to two pounds a year and ten pounders are always a possibility. Mexico bass fishing is not just a fishing trip, it's a completely unique Mexican Vacation experience which many bass anglers choose to relive over and over again. At these Mexico bass lakes you're just one cast away from that ten pound plus trophy bass! For bass anglers it doesn't get any better than this. Easy to get to, there are many domestic airlines that fly to Mexico including Continental, US Airways, United and many others. While the news media likes to play up the violence around the border towns, at these lakes you are far from the drug wars and fishing on lakes that are secure and free from violence.

Global Wetting
Oh the weather. Mother nature has a way of letting us know who is boss. She has been giving us the one, two punch combo for a couple of weeks now. If it is not raining it is blowing and when it stops blowing it starts raining. Ahhhhhhh......... global wetting.
Richard in action with the reef barely visible in the background.
Perry showing the proper way to cast in a tropical down pour. Notice you can not see the reef.
A small Bluefin Trevally.
Needless to say I have not been out much. I do not mind a little wind or rain but there comes a point when enough is enough.
Take for instance our last session out with Richard and his brother in-law Perry.
The plan was for us to fish on Thursday. A little heavy tackle a little light tackle, catch a few fish, have a good time.
I am up at 5am and head down to the water to see the conditions. Looks ok, but a little rough in the channel. I call Richard at around 6am and he says we go for it.
We load up the boat and head out.
It does not take long for the weather to head south on us and before we know it, everyone is wet from the rain. Credit must be given to Richard and Perry as they persevered in the wet and continued to fish.

We were soon chased inside the reef as it got too rough and the wind was howling. Once inside we switched to lighter tackle and calmer waters. It was still tough going and in the end only one fish was brought to the boat.

| From fishing with Richard |
We gave it our best shoot and stayed out until our underwear were wet. At that point I had to call it quits and Richard and Perry had to head of to the airport.
Our trip home was interesting. Zero visibility, driving rain and rough seas. Thank Garmin for GPS.

Trolling at it's best
After much bad weather and a vacation to Sydney, Australia, I'm back.
The weather has shaped up well for the week and we decided to try to fill the freezer with eating fish. That means trolling, and I really do not like trolling, but it can be the best way to catch wahoo and mahimahi.
So, off we go into the wild blue sea, trolling. I think I will let the video speak for me.

Tropical cyclone Tomas
Living in the tropics has all kinds of benefits, sandy beaches, warm water, great fishing and the list goes on. There is also a down side, a dark side, a side that is darn right scary,
You are looking at Tropical cyclone Tomas and the out line just below it is Fiji. As I am typing this the wind is blowing quite strong and the rain is coming off and on. Tomas is moving so slow that it is not expected to hit fully until late tomorrow or the next day. It is a Cat 2 right now but is predicted to be a Cat 4 in the next 24hours with winds up to 200+kmph.

We will finish preparing and then hunker down for the big blow. I will keep you all posted.

To film or not to film? That is the question.
We set out with the intention of filming some how to videos. How to tie a bimini, how to cast big poppers etc. Unfortunately our camera man brought his new fishing pole and wanted to give it a try. And who am I to say no you can not fish?
But as usual that was just a teaser. Within 5 minutes the wind was blowing 20 knots and the chop had picked up. We headed to a sheltered bay to do a bit of filming. Brendan (the videographer) grabbed his new 15 lb rod and reel and proceeded to cast a small popper to the shallow reefs surrounding us.
The Trevally had him doing circles around the boat. I knew at that very instant that he would not be filming on this day. After a good fight by both angler and fish, the angler was victorious. A nice 4kg trevally.
Now this next picture of the same fish, only a close up, is for a reason. It is the last time Brendan's popper was ever seen.
Very soon after a giant cod or Red bass engulfed the popper, split ring, and swivel in one smooth, explosive move. It bit right though the twisted double leader. Of course Brendan was devistated. I felt his pain for exactly one second, then I realized he would be buying another from my shop. I know, I'm a little bit evil.
Followed by another Trevally.
Look closely at Rosie's popper because it is no more. Taken in the same unceremonious way as Brendan's. A big rampaging something that was unstoppable.
After lunch it was the captains turn to catch a fish, no matter how small.
On our way home we tucked into a small sheltered bay again and Brendan proceeded to catch a few small Trevally's and a baby Goatfish.
After that we pounded our way into the wind and chop to make it home before dark.
As we left the river mouth it looked to be a cracker of a day.

Before I could tie a bimini twist he was on, and it was a good fish.

So it was to be, that Brendan was now sporting a grin that would not soon go away.
We then moved out to a bit deeper reef system which of course means a bit larger fish. Time to switch to the 30 lb gear. Of course just to make his point clear that he had no intentions on filming, Brendan went on to catch a very nice 6 kg Bluefin Trevally.
