Getting ready, PV trip #2 2008

Of course, things change daily in fishing. But in preparation for my next trip down to PV, I have rethought my plan of attack.
I have taken all my heavy leaders off, and gone to 130# flourocarbon as the leader on 3 of my rigs, with one ATD50W having a 150# flourocarbon leader.
I have added two reels to my arsenal for this trip, an ATD6 with 90# flourocarbon, and an ATD12 with hundred pound.
The bite continues on, with a 338# YFT caught there this week, and a few in the 200 pound range.
Hurricane Norbert didn't affect the area, and it looks like the next tropical depression is dissapating.
Matt and I head down on October 20th, for three more days of chasing giants.
I will report back.

Puerto Vallarta round 1 2008

Well, I must count this trip as a huge success, just no big fish to show for our efforts. I was able to join up with Matt Gerns from Westlake Village California, on his boat Fresh One. We headed down on Sunday September 28th, and fished 3 full days on El Banco, just a short drive out of PV. We caught lots of yellowfin tuna, mostly 50 to 90 pounders. Matt caught one at 175 pounds on a chunk, as our best fish.








We will be headed down again in just a couple of weeks, I will report again after that leg.
