MIGRATING DORADO ARE WITHIN 5 MILES OF SAN FRANCISQUITO

June 25, 2004, Roger Crenshaw, San Francisquito, Baja California, Mexico:

San Francisquito now has dorado that have moved in to within 5 miles. Water is 78-82. The weather began to change the last two days toward summer heat. Increase of 6 degrees day time, corresponding to the increase in water temp and too hot to sleep inside, so out we go on cots.

It has been very windy from the south after 10 am so fishing has been a 5 am to 10 am proposal. Getting too hot to jig, need to keep moving and troll or really just make bird stops.

Yellowtail are in in full force. White Sea Bass at points early and late. Humboldt squid like you can't believe. Sue, my wife, and I brought home over 100 lbs. of just squid filet. We went immediately to our favorite hole in the wall Chinese place where they know us and had some before we even came home. I think that it is my favorite.

Loads of pilot whales and fin backs. We ran into a pod of pilot whales, about 50, largest that I have seen, about 1/4 mile off the beach, and spent a few hours with them. They would come up to the boat, lie totally still on the surface and click at us. Really neat.

Two years ago there was a pod of killer whales that we did the same thing with except they began to get a little aggressive and we moved on. The males were "charging the boat" and veering off and under when they got to it.
