Quick fishing reportMarch 6th 2012

Okay first off the bat is marlin.. We have had a resurgence of our great marlin fishing after a 2 month long lull.. Its not a everyday thing, but hey, they are around and sometimes you can get multiple shots at fish in a day...

Tuna are wayyy outttt. Find the porpoise and you will find the buggers, good eating size, but no real bruisers..

Inshore Man some great days mixed in with crappy days.. I guess thats why they call it fishing... One day we catch 16 roosters in a day and the next just a few.. But hey, a few roosters is still a good day...Jacks and sierra around, but not so hot for snappers...

I will post some pictures of last weeks fishing.

Fish the Baja gets a Telly Award

ROOSTERFISH LANDS DAVE MAYNARD A TELLY AWARD Caught on video: 5th day productions films Dave Maynard reeling in a 50lb Roosterfish as he runs down the beach in Baja California commenting, "He's so very powerful!" Denver, Colorado -- (February 28, 2012) 5th day productions, a Colorado based video production company, announced today that it has received a prestigious Telly Award for its Season 1 programming and production of "Fish the Baja" a nationally broadcast TV series shot exclusively in Baja California & airing nationwide on NBC Sports Network. The video that won was 1 out of 13,000 videos submitted from 50 states and 37 countries. Dave is surf fishing for Roosterfish in Baja California and lands a 50lb beast, then releases it back into the water, but not after struggling to lift it. Dave Maynard, Executive Producer and Host of the show, was thrilled with the win. "Winning a Telly Award has huge significance to us in the production industry. The Telly is judged by a large group of industry professionals so it shows us that we are on the right track with our production quality and style". "Fish the Baja" was nominated for 3 Telly Awards, of which two results are still pending. One of the nominations is for a "People's Telly" which will be voted on soon via You Tube with the results sometime around the end of March. This is Maynard's 3rd Telly Award, having won two previously as Producer and Host of the nationally broadcast series "Fishing Across America". "I would like to thank Sterling Johnson at Edit Denver for his excellent work and Wesley Brough for guiding me to just the right spot to capture the spectacular footage and that monster Roosterfish", said Maynard. "Fish the Baja" airs each Thursday on NBC Sports Network at 10:30am EST / 7:30am PST, which also carries the Tour de France, the 2012 Summer Olympics and NHL Hockey.

The sun rising over Pedrig

Hey. It's my 50th birthday. I can't believe I lived this long. Crazy. It must be the good living and all the sunshine.

I have been in Cabo now for 16 years, and fished with all my friends over the years. What a blessing it is to still be here doing what I love to do.

The fishing has been super, lots of shots at quality fish, from big roosterfish to big jacks and sierras. On most days we are getting shots at cubera snappers on the surface.

Roosta the big fish fly that works!

Bruce Olsen form Umpqua sent me this photos and caption. Check it out! You can get your Grant Hartman Roostas from Umpqua.

An enormous GT caught by a friend at Xmas Island. The guides were arguing if it was 80 or 90 lbs, but both said it was the largest G.T. they had ever seen landed on the fly. You can see the fly in its mouth. It was, by far, the group’s best pattern for the real bruisers during the trip.

Incredible fishing day

Wow, the fishing is sooo gooooood.

Just ask Bob Galvin from Boston Mass

Bon had busting fish all day long and caught the big jack on the fly. The jack was the biggest fish Bob has ever caught on the fly and he did a great job.

Way to go Bob!
