Sierras are hungry and angry on San Felipe Baja, mex

[steelfish]

we had a beautifil day this past Sunday, we had a call from our fishing guide that sierras were hungry and angry, so we checked the weather for the next weekend and it was perfect.

we have a beautiful morning in the Marina with our plans to go directly to the Consag Island.




few miles ahead we saw the Island bit closer and outside the marina the sea was calm too


soon we where aside the rock, and those sea birds were a good sign of fishing


another sign of a good day of fishing were the school of sardines, I wish my camera have polarized lenses as my sunglasses have, but if you look closer you will see in the middle of the pic the school of sardines


and we got our rods ready for testing the waters trolling some deep diving lures


but the sea lions were also ready and they were F&^& hungry


but there were plenty of sierras for the sea lions and for us too, here are a double hook set, if you look closer you will see two lures and two fishes hanguing from the hands of the fishing guide


they were eating the trolling lures and 3oz Kroc spoons, it was awesome to catch them on the calcutta 400TE, 50# braid and a 60# steel leader.. fun fun, beautiful colors on the Sierra right?  almost too green like a Dorado







perfect picture, no blodydecks on a panga, but what about a bloody icecooler?
we had out limits at noon


our captain had a busy day unhooking the fish



this is when we called it a day and were heading for the harbor



on our way back to the marina we stopped shortly on the sunked boat zone, which its located in the very front on the town just few miles from the shore... we caught some big and fatty croakers


it was a really great day on the water with some of my close friends.

Looks like a Great Day Alex.
I have to agree with Al. A lot more fun that I had at work. 
Your Captain unhooking that fish has a striking resemblance to John Belushi.
Thanks for taking us along.

Sierras are good eating on whatever style do could think.. ceviche, sashimi, meatballs/soup (my favorite), fish tacos or directly to the frying pan with just bit of butter, pepper and salt.







thanks guys, I really needed to be on the water and have a nice day like this it was.

Good for you guys.  I was down in Cabo and we got 9 red snapper for a full day of fishing.  We trolled for Marlin but the water was too rough for Marlin up top.  Switched to live bait down low, still no action.  That's fishing.  Going back in June.  Dominick

yep, totally understand, this time we were lucky, 3 weeks ago we were after some big white seabass that came to the this zone, there were reports that big white seabass were caught but we expend the entire day trying to catch one with no luck.
