Glissmeyer, Jess and I enjoyed some great water down in Puerto Penasco this weekend. The water was not cold at all, almost luke warm it was getting out that was the cold part.
We arrived Friday evening and began fishing right away at Las Conchas. The tide was about half way out with about 10 feet of visibility. We saw schools of Triggers and lots of smaller Sand Bass. The only thing we brought back to the house was a Cortez Chub about the size of my hand.
The next day we headed over to Wrecked at the Reef on the west side of town, we had heard that it had a good size reef with lots of fish. We arrived just after 11am and the tide was just finishing coming in. We swam and fished for a couple of hours. The visibility was great around the rocks 15ft at least. There is a cool 3ft cliff like reef that runs just off the beach behind the bar. We saw schools of juvenile Panamic Sergeant all over. I chased after some long (18in) skinny silver fish for most the day but they were just to fast for me. Anyone know what kind of fish they are? Glissmeyer got a fish that was about 12in long that we believe was a Grunt maybe.
Later on that day we did some more fishing out in front of Las Conchas. Once again there were a lot of Trigger schools. I am pretty sure I chased after some smaller Trevally, but could not get close enough for a shot. We saw some Rock Wrasse and Round Stingrays nothing bigger then my hand.
Sunday we did some pole fishing from the shore with my son. We reeled in a lot of small Sand Bass, Needlefish and a couple of what I believe to be juvenile Trevally (4in, silver and yellow on the tail).
After further investigation it I believe that larger, darker fish that Glissmeyer is proudly showing off is a Opaleye. If I am incorrect and please share what it is.
