Hi Anglers, The "Tony Reyes" returned from another successful fishing trip into the Sea of Cortez. The Cal Star Rods sponsored trip led by Martin Downs enjoyed good weather and great fishing.

Hola Anglers. The Tony Reyes returned from a chartered trip led by Charter Master Neville Hanson. His group came from all over the USA as well as South Africa. The weather and fishing were good, even though live bait has not yet appeared in numbers. Nonetheless, the fish were anxious to eat trolled lures. Mirrorlures and Jigs in blue/white and green/yellow, were the best colors.

Tony say's they haven't been catching live bait yet, but the fish are eating jigs and trolled lures very well, and the fish are hungry! This trip was led by Eric Miller from The Longfin tackle store, along with his wife Cindy and their son Kyle. The weather was good, the big Yellowtails up to 40lbs were at Snake Island. Anglers returning from the trip are telling me the Cabrilla seem larger than past years, with a 16lbr being landed on the last trip. Over the past six years, the Tony Reyes has reported the quality and quantity of the catch as improved every year. Back to the Good Ole Days!
