Puerto Azul 13 April 2013

We decided to spend Saturday at the Puerto given the turnout we had on our last trip. We motored to the spot that has been constantly hot hence its name on my GPS is "Kalan" . Water depth was about 6 feet with a rocky bottom. Threadies stay in the area and from the stomach contents of the specimens I've caught are evidently feeding on squid..

This however did not deter them from chasing topwaters. The moment we dropped anchor and casted, six fish took turns chasing our lures attacking them in unmamali like manner. They would strike a lure again and again until  hooked. Gret hooked up to a mamaw of around three kilos which I lost while landing ( sorry agian, Gret). Another of her hookups, after exploding on her lure three times and finally finding the mark, turned on the afterburners and headed for the deep. after a really long run which nearly stripped the reel the monster came unbuttoned.

 Gret was pretty quiet for the whole trip after the incident and I pretty much stayed out of her way.

I had two strikes and both hooked up. My fish though were way smaller than the monsters on Gret's popper.

 Squid seems to be a major part of their diet in the area.

Grilling the yummy fish!

Gret's lost 3 kilo threadie.
