OCTOBER ON THE FLY Update

[makobob]

The skys are clear, the water is warm and the
winds are almost non existant. The pelicans are
diving right off the beach, sierra and yellowtail
are around. A beautiful day, but mako-ville is
empty. The mexican fishermen left yesterday.

This morning the last of our group all went north
except for me. Rosa was devestating but NOW it
is just about 3 hours to San Felipe from Gonzaga.
Yes some is off road on work arounds. BUTT the
desert is full of GREEN, the occatillos and some
wild flowers are trying to bloom. Ducks were in
the dry lake bed behind Punta Bufeo yesterday.

Life is again quiet in Campo Turistico and La Poma,
the restaurant crew are taking a day or two off. A
well deserved break for them. At points last week
they served WELL over 60 meals a DAY. It set
records for them, now it might be quiet until
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

Of course the sierra headed north, but in a couple
of weeks the corvina will arrive from the south
and the fishermen will return in big numbers.
EVERYTHING hear revolves around the fish and
those who chase them.

This morning the islands were again FLOATING.
Las Encantadas and camp had NO, NONE, not a
wiff of air. Such an awesome site, enchanting. It
is now after 3 in the afternoon flat calm and
pelicans still working the micro bait.

Like most years the schooling sierra and
yellowtail are chasing schools of bait only an INCH
or so long. Mini anchovies, I have NEVER seen
them grow up here. They get eaten too fast. Fish
from below and birds from above, they never
get to rest.

I would to thank all the people who were in camp
this last two weeks, you all did so very well, had
fun and slowed down the hectic pase of your lives.
I hope it was enough to get you all through the
next few months, until we can meet again.

You are all welcome back into camp, just let Dave
Sivak know. I really want to give a special thank
you to those who take the time to post their pictures
and stories on FaceBook here at Mako-Ville. SEA you
all next year, Tight Lines amigos.
