LOTS OF MOSQUITOS AND JUST FIRECRACKER YELLOWTAIL
FOUND BY SAN FRANCISQUITO FLY-IN ANGLERS

Oct. 16, 2004, Stan Woodward, San Francisquito, Baja California, Mexico:

From friends who flew into San Francisquito last weekend, no yellowtail show at all except firecrackers off the south end of Santa Teresa beach at first light. Saturday saw a lot of peewee dorado, fun on a fly rod. San Francisquito fishing water was very warm, skippies around but full of tiny, tiny bait fish.

Mosquitoes were still a nasty problem, mostly in the evening but thick when the wind was still. Even during the day they hung out in the shade of the fillet table and apparently chewed the heck out of a friend cutting up a cabrilla Sunday morning. The uninvited visitor of the trip was not a scorpion this time, but a rat that fell out of the rafters of one of the cabanas onto a buddy's cot. Seems it caused quite a bit of pandemonium in the wee hours.

No San Francisquito road conditions report. Beto was home but I have yet to talk with my one friend who went to visit. No real signs of all the September rain, except a big sand berm out in front of Barril. The Barril highspots were dry as well.
