Had a good three hours out there today before we take off tomorrow. As is normal, I was the only one fishing the beach. This is not a fly fishing hot-spot. The beach is left to the tourists. I hardly saw a local out there this year, although that may be partly due to the dramatic changes at the river-mouth this year.
Today I picked up some Jack Crevalles, as is normal, and several Pompano. Usually I get a single pompano if I get any, but today I had 4 or 5. I also picked up a new fish… likely a young Green Jack.
Green Jack... my first.
It was a good trip, despite a nice cold that sat in the noses of my wife and I for most of the trip. We had a lot of pool time with the little girl (she wants to stay, forever… just wants me to bring the dog down). We actually got off the resort a tiny bit to get my daughter to see her first wild crocs… which was kind of cool.
Yes... they have crocs in Vallarta... Nuevo Vallarta.
We’ll be back… and next time… I really, really want to get out on the bay… probably with a 10 weight (11?). I’d like to land a Mahi Mahi… 2011 could be the year.
Good times.
