Bittersweet Leftovers

[Capt Josh]

We fished yesterday with Kristin and her friends on the Maximo, while the fishing has definitely taken a beating thanks to the seiner activity in the last week we did manage a fairly decent day with two dorado, a sailfish, and some good action on tunas in the afternoon on the skip-kite up to 90 pounds. But it wasn't easy out there, and most of the boats suffered a skunking.

Sadly, it appears as though the seiners are decimating the massive schools of tuna that have provided us all with such epic action over the last month and a half. By the day there are less and less fish out there, and i'm sure the seiners are chasing what remains until there will be nothing left.

I've noticed a considerable lack of sea life in the past two days, and at least one dead dolphin with net marks and rope all over it. God only knows how many porpoise and dolphin have been killed thanks to the seiner's reckless fishing methods. How the Mexican government can allow this type of devastation is beyond me. They truly need to get their act together before it's too late. Frankly, it makes me sick to my stomach to see the wake of destruction caused by negligence like this.

The only thing we can do now is beg for table scraps, and hope another delivery of action will arrive soon.

It figures! As you know I will be there on Tue! I hope there is something left to battle.

we need to get greenpeace involved..Just how much cash do these seiners kickback to the government JT? Must be a lot.

Its a tragedy that has been happening for a long time now in Mexico..it started up in Cabo and East Cape is continuing southward.

It will only Stop until the fish can escape Mexican waters and maybe find a safe haven in Panama or Costa Rica where their governments give a crap.

Maybe if us "toursits" stopped visiting, or if we get a bigger movement and pressure from the US government... we need external pressure on these bastards...but I think Washington has a lot more on its plate today than worry about the pacific tuna decimation in the sea.

Maybe we can bring some terrorists form overseas and convince them these boats are run by the enemy and teach them how to take them down hahaa....

I , as well as the others in PV I know, have seen fishing decline ever since I started going down there 6 or 7 years ago. I started going to PV because I was in search of monster yellowfin, and was promised this by a certain captain down there who shall remain nameless I got my wish, thankfully before all this nonsense really took off.

My first 2 or 3 trips down there, we either caught or had multiple shots at cows each trip..as the years went on, our shots became more and more scarce. Last year and year before were a joke for the most part compared to how things used to be.

Ok enough of my rant..maybe its time to relo to East Coast for giant BFT on spin gear JT Nothing like casting to 200lbers with 7 humpback wales crashing sand eels all around you. Just wish it could be warmer

I wish I would have got there 6 -7 years ago. But I've still had killer fishing, great hospitality, and overall a helluva time.

Don't know if the regulations will ever change soon unfortunately! We can have hope!

I encourage everyone to check out this fishery, you won't be disappointed!!!

Oh most definitely I agree. But its like the East Cape for many of us, it might seem like a nice fishery now, but compared to what it once was...well, I guess you can say that about any promising fishery over the years...places just get fished out and you have to find the new spot.

And PV is always fun.....but we are allowed to reminisce every now and then right? Heck I cant imagine what stories guys like the Osunas and Ocaranzas have of the place pretty 2000s. Reminds me to pick their brains about it next time down.

Hey, I hope to jump on board with JT one day, and my friend that is there now has two other days lined up. So I hope there is something left! All this time I have been waiting for this week and now I can only pray for the best!
