Puerto Vallarta-7/4-Baaaad Water, Grrreat Fishing-pix

[LuckyDrew]

The water was so bad at banco that it had that yellow-brown-red look going in patches. And then a cleaner green here and there. Manny thinks the water is probably ok underneath, just nasty for the top 30-60 feet. Either case the good news is that we caught all our fish on big bait. Bulitos were a few miles off the spot, we'd load up on the picky bullet tunas and then haul ass back to the spot and pull them on the 10/0 Hayabusas. Great feeling to pull as hard as you want with 10/0's. Ended with 6 tuna, 2 small and 4 between 60 and 75lbs. And WFO on the bottom fish as well. I went 0/4 on pargos, set the tackle down and sulked for awhile, then tried again and went 3/4. Alrighty then. We ended up with 4 pargos with one pig pushing 45-50lbs, 1 coconaco, and 1 AJ.

Don't know if you heard, but next day Matt on his 36' Uniflite caught a 280lb Yellowfin on a Avet LX-2!!! He was drifting dead bullet tuna at 150 feet hoping for an AJ when he got nailed. That folks, is one hell of a catch.
