Ensenada.com: This year it seems as if the fishing season are starting of a little on the slow side when comparing two last season You are the only company that goes to the outer banks each day so you are out there are more than anyone else. How to see this season shaping for long range sport fishing? Sergio: It's funny how nature handles herself year to year and conditions can change at any time. Last year we started with warm water conditions in wich we had one of the best Dorado bites I have ever seen. With warm waters conditions you have Yellow fin tuna, Dorado and Yellow tail. Obviously you will not find Albacore because they prefer cooler water temperatures. This year we started with a strong Albacore bite which may be telling us that the water temperatures of cooler. In a good season we will have Albacore, Blue fin Tuna and yellow tail the better part of June and July, then as the water temperatures increase the those fish will move north and then we will begin to see Yellow fin Tuna, Dorado and larger yellowtail all the way into October. Ensenada.com: What types of fishing do you have in the winter months and can you tell us a little about your whale watching tours? Sergio: Whale watching season starts on December twenty sixth and continues until the middle of April. We started doing whale watching only on the weekends sixteen years ago and now days it's an everyday event. We now have people coming to Ensenada for whale watching from all over the U.S. and Europe on a daily basis. Ensenada.com: What type of fishing you do in the winter months? Sergio: Our basic trip that is a 7:00am departure till 3pm does very well with rock cod and bottom fishing, however it's not unusual to have strong Barracuda and Bonita bites on top as well. These trips go out every single day of the year. This past winter there were so many Bonita in the bay it was almost as if we didn't have an off-season. That kept our customers very happy and really kept us going. Ensenada.com: So pretty much you can say people can come to Ensenada and enjoy a good day of fishing just about any time of year? Sergio: The fishing fleets in Ensenada are not as big as what you'll find in California and southern Baja. This opens up a good opportunity to find many many areas that are still virgin for fishing. Ensenada.com: You mentioned you that this year you have added a new boat to you fleet, is our intentions to continue growing your fleet or just to maintain and control what you're working with now? Sergio: At this point on goals are to upgrade the boats we already have operating, we're always open to new opportunities though. Ensenada.com:And lastly you've been here in Ensenada for many many years. What have you seen as far as growth Ensenada overall? Do you see things improving or staying the same in the near future? How do you see business here in Ensenada at this time? Sergio: I see the tourism sector growing and at this point the harbor is very busy with a cargo traffic and the fishing business. Ensenada is building a new area just to accommodate the offloading of cargo ships that will eventually open up more space and lessen the traffic for tourism as relates to harbor tours, fishing and whale watching. I think this will be a good addition to help increase tourism.
