“Spring has Sprung”

I know Spring isn’t till March 20th, but Spring has Sprung! We are very happy to see that the fishing woke up and guests are enjoying themselves.
If you recall in the last newsletter, due to a mix of strong cold fronts and green water making it’s way into the fishing grounds, the fishing slowed down in February.
Those cold fronts that hit hard in Texas and other parts of the US made their way down. Plus, we recently got a synopsis from one of the best in the biz, Marine Biologist, Dr. Nelson Ehrhardt. “The catch rates have been slow in February because of the extended billfish habitat in the Tehuantepec-El Salvador region. We know the cause of this huge anomaly. Significant and unusual shifts of the winds; therefore not allowing development of strong upwelling in the Tehuanteoec basin.” – Dr. Ehrhardt.
The good news, blue water made its way into the grounds which resulted in better action. Hence the higher numbers in this weeks fishing report.
