CRRIFS: Turtles are Arriving

CRRIFS staff and volunteers are getting ready for the turtle nesting season with annual training. We start patrolling the beaches soon, but if you see a turtle nesting or turtle tracks, please help by calling us and we will go investigate. We had a report of a turtle nesting in La Manga 2 last week, but when we arrived, there were only several nesting attempts (arqueos) but no nest.

A few days later our first nest of the 2025 season finally arrived! The nest was reported by one of our volunteers at San Francisco Beach. We collected the nest to protect it from predators. San Francisco beach is one of our biggest nesting sites. ATVs along with bright lights, campfires and trash hurt the turtles’ chances of survival.

Last week CRRIFS was called to the strandings of 2 different black turtles. While the staff was called to the Guaymas port for a badly injured sea turtle who was hit by a boat, other volunteers were on San Francisco Beach when a turtle carcass washed ashore.

Please help keep our Olive Ridley and Black Turtles safe as they are around in our waters. If you see a turtle nesting, injured or dead wildlife, please contact CRRIFS immediately so we can attend to them. CRRIFS’ contact number is 622-152-9934.

CRRIFS – We are much more than turtles! Center for Rescue, Rehabilitation, Investigation of Fauna Silvestre (Wildlife)

Fishing Report

Open ocean conditions are here in the Sea of Cortez. Storms are popping up and spinning off far to the south as the waters slowly warm. Strong southerlies are in the forecast, which along with westerlies off the cool Baja Pacific Coast, will get the southern currents and counter-clockwise gyre going to create amazing fishing conditions. It’s refreshing on the water, and the water is a perfect temperature. Although the full moon should have them full, the fish are willing to eat more.

A decades old strain of yellow fever took over anglers this week, with some abandoning decency, restraint of vulgarity, and mediocrity, catching yellowfin in near-commercial style. Bodegas were raided with dust flying for the gear of generational elderly and ancestors. Zukers, Jaz lures, cedar plugs, surface irons, jet heads and more, were added to marauders, Halcos, stick baits, and poppers. Whether it was a pink Zuker, purple, white, blue, red, Mexican flag, or zucchini, or even a zucchini with a pink skirt, it didn’t matter. We had a seven fish hookup! Don’t even know what to call that. A septuple? Multiple schools of 9 – 15 pound yellowfin were found from 6 – 20 miles. Maybe the big ones are next to arrive?

A number of Dorado were caught, and I believe that they were often full or passed up. I heard of a couple over 40 pounds, with many other respectably-sized fish landed. You can’t beat them grilled in olive oil, butter, lemon juice, garlic, and spices.

Crazy numbers of flying fish are out there. Areas were devoid of seaweed, but the good stuff could be getting closer. There are other major Dorado spawning attractions, like my rope from last week, on the way for this weekend’s Dorado Derby.

Billfish were plentiful in close and farther out. I believe we had one biting just off Blanca outside the estuary, where we quickly cleaned up on large Sierra. We caught a nice toro jack and a golden cabrilla too. One friend caught ten nice Bonita at the Seamounts, and I’m sure the big ones were at Cuatro Chi Chis. Massive schools of triggerfish are out there, lots of small cabrilla, and conditions are now perfect for corvina.

It should be the time for magic to happen. The deep thermocline is loaded with bait and the currents are starting up. I’d expect a wahoo to be caught this week and the first real Blue Marlin. A 50 pound Dorado will probably win the tournament.

Notable catches of the week were about a 160 pound Striped Marlin caught solo on an inflatable, and what looked to be about a 60 pound Roosterfish caught off a kayak. Maybe we’ll see a cow tuna and a Black Marlin caught soon. Anyhow, I’ve waited thirty years since childhood to see schools of yellowfin swimming under the boat again and have held onto those Zuker feathers since the Reagan Administration. The time has come.

Diving Report

What lives in those open railing holes on the artificial reef, the Santos? When I dive on this wreck, I always make sure that I look in each one. Some of them are completely filled in with many different organisms, but some of them have become homes for fish and invertebrates. Last Friday a group of divers from El Mar Diving Center dove both the Santos and the Suchiate. Visibility was about 25 feet and temperature was nice at 81 degrees.

As I made my way around the Santos from bottom to top, there was a Green moray eel hiding, schools of grunts hanging in the water column, and several species of nudibranchs inching up the sides. When I got to the deck of the boat, I followed the railings and checked in each hole. In several of them I found Octopus (pictured left) peeking out, one even extended an arm over the side and then promptly pulled it back in. Another hole was home for a Bay blenny (pictured right). It camouflages well, except for its bright orange chin. There were also two Mexican marine scientists from Kino Bay doing their monthly monitoring of both fish and invertebrates to see how different species have moved into these artificial reefs and in what quantities. Both scientists agreed that these artificial reefs are providing healthy habitats for a large variety of marine critters.

Have you been wondering about the overabundance of seaweed this year? Every spring the light green lettuce-like seaweed starts washing up on the beach in late February and early March. It can be particularly thick near the mouth of El Estero del Soldado, often piling up on shore as winds drive it in. Then as the water starts warming the long strands of brown sargassum that have formed as an underwater forest over the winter start to break loose coming to the surface forming large floating mats.

According to a couple of local people that have followed the wind patterns in the San Carlos area for many years, they say that this year’s winds have not been like past years. The winds in the winter come predominately from the north until around May, when they change, coming from the south. This year, the winds did not change and even now sometimes are still coming from the north. The large floating mats are being carried on to our beaches instead of being pushed farther out to sea. I am no expert, but of the people I asked, this was the explanation that made the most sense to me. Comments welcome at: 1.beachbum@cox.net
