There is a new boat in the fleet, as well as some major improvements to the white center console.

We did two day trips last week diving out on the Hannibal Bank and around Isla Montuosa.  The first trip was slow, but on the second trip we found the yellowfins with the spinner dolphins between Hannibal and Montuosa.  unfortunately we where not able to put one in the boat.  They where moving fast and where not in large numbers.  There was no shortage of a variety of pelagic species spotted though.  We had five encounters with various bill fish, as well as a sighting of a pair of Mahi, the bull being one of the biggest i have ever seen in person.  We spent a small part of the day diving around Isla Montuosa where we spotted a couple wahoo and where able to put some blue fin trevally and a couple pargo on the boat.  It looks like things are started to heat up out there!

Shot this video the other day at a spot about a hour panga ride from Morro Negrito.  More videos to come!

We hit the river mouth again today with clients Dario and Kevin.  We had a blast and shot a variety of fish including Corvina, Snook, Pargo, Rooster fish, Sierra Mackeral and Golden trevally.

River Mouth Catch

Pargo and Snook

The weather down here at Morro Negrito has been beautiful, and there has been a lot of life and some of the clearest inshore viz I have ever seen here.  We have been hitting the river mouth and putting steel through Pargo and Snook.  Yesterday was one of the best days i have seen at that spot, and of course as murphy’s law would have it, it was the one day I didn’t bring the camera.  Needless to say we have been eating like kings and enjoying the nice conditions.  I have a little bit of footage from the last couple days that I am going to put together and post up here, so stay tuned.

The Crew from Gass Productions came down last week to shoot a episode about spearfishing for there series “Rod and a Ruckack” which will air on major networks in the US and the UK. We went out to Isla Montuosa for 6 days, and unfortuanetly the weather just would not cooperate. December’s weather down here can be a roll of the dice as it is the tail end of the rainy season. For us the dice did not roll in our favor, but we made the best of the trip and got some diving in as well as some Rod and Reel Fishing. We boated Amberjack, Trevally, Mullet snapper, Mahi Mahi, some small yellowfin and had a hook up with a billfish. I saw a nice wahoo on one of the highspots off of Montuosa, but they just didn’s seem to be around in numbers. The Crew from Gass (Andy, Guy and Dan) were a pleasure to be around and had some amazing stories from there travels in search of fish for the filming of there series. They are some truely talented characters, and i look foward to watching the series when it airs.
