Rancho Leonero
Just returned from a 6 day fishing trip at Rancho Leonero. Great weather (except for 1 day), great resort with good food and customer service. Each day I fished on a cabin cruiser or super panga in the morning and then kayak fished in front of the resort in the afternoon. On the boats I caught some nice yellowfin tuna, dorado, ladyfish, sierra, trigger fish, needlefish, humbolt squid, and others. Kayak fishing is what I love to do and was the best part of the trip for me. I caught and released around 12 Dorado and harvested 3 others. Here are some pics from my trip
Catch and Release Dorado Better than the Hyatt Gotta watch out for the locals! Sweet peddle back in( loved the hobie outback-the revolution about sank on me and thankfully I had a bottle to bale out the kayak) This shot pretty much summarizes my experience at Rancho Leonero Video coming soon..no time to edit but made video of every Dorado I caught off the kayak with the Go Pro camera Amazing place! Returned with a cooler that weighed in at 49.20 lbs and full of fillets from Dorado, Yellow Fin Tuna, Red Snapper, Pargo and Triggerfish (ceviche) Last edited by bigbarrels; 09-30-2009 at 05:45 PM. |

Tom -
What a great trip. Did you go down solo? I have been in April. The trip was great, but the fishing was just OK. I am really considering a trip next Sept/October. |

Kurt: you can hire photographers on the beach down there and you just strap them to your head....works pretty good but makes for a sore neck
Brandon: go check it out in the future...you would really like that place! Congrats on the YT's! Jeff: I went down with a good friend and his parents who stayed for 4 of the days. We fished on the cruisers with his parents for two days and then the super pangas for 3 days. September and Oct is a really good time to go down there. I was thinking on doing a 2 week drive down trip next Oct (camp/hotel/house rental/resort) |
