Mystery solved
IMG_20170116_173135.jpg On the fishing front, the 2016 - 2017 high season for yellowtail and other exotics seems to have wound down here in Asuncion. I have been skunked on my last three outings. I'm going to hit it again today and I'm sure I will continue to run into the yellows as I have every month since I've been here but for the most part it is considered "off season" until late August. The months of September through December were excellent for me this year. While the cooler water this year seemed to prevent the tuna from visiting the area there was a pretty good Dorado and wahoo bite in September and October. No hookups on either for me this year but a few drive bys on the yak. Nice Jumbo yellows was the story for me this season. It was not unusual to pick up 8 to 10 of them in a 6 hour session. Still looking for the 50 pounder but the 25 to 35 pounders were plentiful. I recently bought a tin boat and that has increased my range a bit but I still find myself really enjoying to solitude and simplicity of paddling.

I thought I smuggled the shoe stealing dog across the border a couple of years ago...
Ross's Asuncion yellows always seem to be biting...big time...until about two weeks before we arrive each year... Knowing I was going to have to go all flip flops, gave me motivation to keeping searching for that shoe, to no avail. Losing a rod and reel always hurts... MakoBob has never assumed full responsibility for not tying down my Kamprite...his made it down just fine... The crockpot...a gift purchased for Ross-Man...works just fine with a dent in its side... Everyone should make the trek down to Ross' little jewel of paradise.
