Tony Reyes Trip Report and Fish Count for October 23rd – 28th, 2011

The weather cooled down some and it was a comfortable trip. We fished San Lorenzo Island for a few days and it was good with plenty of 15-20 pound yellowtail. The live bait was plentiful in San Francisquito Bay and so we loaded up on it. The dorado seemed to have moved to another area, one with warmer water.

One of our guides caught a massive 110 pound gulf grouper in Salsipuedes Island, boyaa! Those guides are amazing anglers, they live, eat and breathe it, I suppose it makes sense.

Wednesday and Thursday the wind blew from the North and put a little more challenge into our fishing techniques. We ended up at The Enchanted Islands catching some sierra mackerel.

We limited out on yellowtail and its so much fun catching those glorious fish. Watching the birds feed on the bait fish and chasing those boils is so much fun! You are so excited, you cant wait to get your jig into the churned up water where the bait are and bam, you are hooked up!

Tony Reyes Trip Report and Fish Count for September 18th-23rd, 2011

Hi everyone, we just returned from another great trip. We went to different islands such as La Guardia, Rasa Island, San Lorenzo and San Francisquito. I love fishing the islands of The Sea of Cortez, its so much fun and you never know what you will catch!

The weather was nice and calm but warm. It made the pargos quite active and we caught a bunch between 6-12 pounds. Yellowtail from 15-24 pounds and some very nice Dorado in the 12-30 pound range, nice! Bait was available three nights and we made what we could then used it to great effect.

Part of this trip was an ecological trip from Julian, Ca. They very much ennjoyed the view, used kayaks, went snorkeling and fishing. We even enjoyed a BBQ party on one of the islands with classic carne asada, cold beer and delicious grilled fish,  how fun is that?

The last day we caught a bunch of spotted bass at The Golden Reef.

Tony Reyes Trip Report and Fish Count for August 28th – September 2nd, 2011

It was a great trip fishing the Midriff Islands, they were teeming with life. La Guardia, Snake Island, San Lorenzo Island, San Francisquito, Refugio Island and The Enchanted Islands were very productive and fun!

The weather was warm and humid but calm and easy to fish. Beautiful Sea of Cortez weather makes the trip so much more fulfilling.

Most of the yellowtail were caught on live bait, dont you just love fishing live bait? Nothing more thrilling than throwing your bait into a boil and immediately getting hooked up on a 25 pound plus yellowtail. We did very well catching cabrilla trolling Mirrolures and feathers. There is something amazing about trolling for cabrilla. You are trolling along and BAM your rod bends into the water and you think you have a gigantic fish hooked up, but its a cabrilla. I have no idea where those fish get their fight, but its very impressive. We even caught some nice dorado trolling feathers, make sure you have some with you.

William Equitz and Bob Campbell from Bellflower caught a nice 90 pound grouper with their guide Beto, well done guys!

Tony Reyes Trip Report and Fish Count for August 14th – 19th, 2011

The report I have is short, sweet and to the point. The fishing was great this trip! They fished San Esteban Island, San Francisquito Island, Snake Island and La Guardia Island. The weather was warm and calm, a perfect mix in The Sea of Cortez!

Snake Island produced lots of dorado, they caught seventy dorado! How fun to pull those colorful, beautiful fish into your panga. San Esteban had some fantastic yellowtail fishing on the reefs. They even caught a 95 pound marlin!

Making bait was easy and plentiful in San Francisquito Bay. Overall a magnificent trip and I envy those of you who are about to go on a Tony Reyes Fishing Tour!

It was another beautiful trip in The Sea of Cortez, the weather was calm and fantastic!

They fished the main islands like La Guardia, Snake, Partida, Salsipudes and Refugio Island. The best fishing of the trip was at Snake Island, they water had an abundance of big 20-25 pound yellowtail. Fishing live bonita in the reefs produced some giant grouper and a 38 pound broomtail.

Diablo Point produced some small fish like spotted bass, sheephead and some pargo. The last day on Refugio they caught some large cabrilla on live bait and two more groupers! A few big grouper were lost as well. Over all it was a great trip with memories that will last a lifetime.
