Rancho Leonero - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

bigbarrels · 09-30-2009, 05:10 PM

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)
