We're going to Loreto, Mexico, June 28-July 5
Do you want to join us?
This is the best fishing bang for the buck you will ever find! Our primary interest is the dorado. These fish are very aggressive and put up a monstrous fight when hooked, long hard runs and great aerials will test you and your gear to the max. When it comes to colorful display, nothing beats Dorado which actually light-up in tones of gold and neon blue.  Dorado are magnificent fly rod game fish.   25 pound Dorado.
They average 4-25 pounds, but reach 45 pounds.  They target baitfish and squid that live in the surface layer of tropical Oceans.  When hooked they are long runners and high jumpers.  More importantly, they like to eat flies.  Other species available during our trip include cabrilla, bonito, roosterfish, and yellow fin tuna.  
23' Super Panga.

Fishing will be done from 23' super pangas. Because this is slated to be an El Nineo year, the warm water flowing into the Sea of Cortez is expected to produce an exceptional bloom of Sargasso 

weed and all the little critters that live in it.  This in turn  attracts the predatory game fish to the Ocean around Loreto.   Fishing is liable to be red hot.  This is also a great diving area... perfect for the non-angler.  
Our accommodations are at the
LaPinta Hotel which provides very nice air conditioned rooms with satellite TV.  The early bookers get the ocean front rooms !  The 7 night/ 6 days of fishing is only $1075 or 4 night/3 days fishing is $600. This price is based on double occupancy. Price also includes 10% tax, all ground transfers and fishing with 2 anglers per boat. Not included are meals, tackle, and gratuities. Meals in Loreto are very inexpensive and by not including them in the price, you will have a wider range of options for food.  You may eat in the hotel dining room or experience the more varied cuisine of the town of Loreto just a short walk away.  The dates will run from June 28th departure, Fish 29- July 4th, depart 5th.  This is absolute prime time.  A $500 deposit is needed to confirm.  Airfare is expected to be around $500 round trip.  Book your flight early.  Space on the LA/ Loreto flight could get tight.

Korker's Konvertible Wading Shoe with Omnitrax Technology
Korkers introduces its new Konvertible Wading Boot with OmniTrax Sole Technology – designed for easy immediate changeover to address all wading conditions.
The situation is like this.  You just bought a new pair of wading shoes with tungsten carbide studs in the soles for the kind of traction you need for your favorite steelhead river.  Then your fishing buddy buys a new wooden drift boat and won't let you ride for fear of your studded shoes damaging the floor. Then you get invited on a float tube trip and have to buy a pair of tubers booties. Have you ever wished that you could change soles of your wading shoes to fit a wide variety of situation?  Now you can.

Korkers boot sole designs cover all conditions encountered on a typical year of fishing:

  • walking to your favorite fishing hole, or sitting in a boat without causing any harm to the craft - (lugged rubber "trail" sole and traditional felt sole).
  • wading in relatively clear, clean waters requiring some additional wading traction (plain felt sole and carbide cleat studded felt sole).
  • extreme wading on slick, slimy, algae-covered rocks, which inhabit rivers and jetties all over the world (the ultimate carbide cleated rubber soles).
  • Wading the flats for bonefish.
  • Going float tubing on your favorite lake

Wading boot comes with lugged rubber trail soles and plain felt soles.
