Fish Lemon, anchovies and Varied
in Sea of the Silver

By: Gabriel "Foca" Carrera

The 10 of February traveled by route 11 towards the city of Sea of the Silver invited by Mariano Of the Rúa, representative of AquaFish, a company dedicated to the national and international sport fishing.

Very early already it had passed Santa Clara of the Sea and when arriving at the happy city the sun was shown just offering an unforgettable Vista me at the moment that happened in front of the wharf of the Club of Fishermen and the speaker of the local radio announced the birthday of the city, 172 years from its foundation in 1834.

Beautiful day, partially cloudy and with slight winds of the Southeast, very good climate as there were me advance Mariano the previous night when we confirmed the exit.

We were with Mariano and the rest of the fishermen in the Club of Speedboat racing of Sea of the Silver to 7:45, immediately we approached the "Malleo III" beautiful Skipper of 11,5 meters of length and 3,5 meters of sleeve that I fight, the sailor, already had listed to weigh anchor.

The boat counts on the best thing in equipment or for the aid of navigation, the sport fishing and the security. Three GPS, two VHF, Plotter, Ecosonda, Automatic Pilot, radar and one life raft for 10 people.

All ready one and ordered, we were leaving back the buildings of the happy city, while we chatted of the rich fishing and we enjoyed medialunas. Options of fishing there were several but the primary target was the capture of Fish Lemon practicing spinnig and trolling.

The Fish Lemon characterizes itself by its force and speed, is a capable hunter who surely did not let pay attention to him to our artificial ones. He is one of the fish but pretty of our sea, it does not have grudges and one does not approach the coasts, it is possible to be captured in waters near Sea of Plata and Necochea from January to May ends.

The captures of this species in modalities like spinning, trolling or Fly Cast surely are going to be unforgettable for the fisherman since it brutally takes our artificial one soon to apply all his power and to offer us incredible in excess that demand quality of equipment and ability of the fisherman to culminate the capture successfully.

Mariano has an ample national experience and international in all the modalities, it is fundamental to pay much attention to him to learn and to manage to capture this species.

The first attempt that we did was practicing trolling, for which light but powerful canes are prepared of embarked, reels Peen of the series GTI340 and 345, brazoladas lines of 4, 3 of them with fiocos of rubber and a fourth with a magrú whole number or decoy of trolling. If we are going to use fourth brazolada with natural bait it we must present/display with 2 tandem hooks.

A detail important to consider is the necessity to make work the line in the right depth, to obtain that is used a called device "Glider" that allows to dive based on the distance of the line with respect to the boat. The more far it is made work the line, the more depth wins.

After sailing approximately 20 miles we arrived at the fishing place, Mariano using ecosonda and the GPS positioned the boat so that we pruned to do the last one on where she thought that it was the Fish Lemon, automatic pilot and lines to the water.

We began the last one with 3 canes in the water, the ready fishermen much anxiety and expectations, each one tapeworm I number of order to fish, éramos 7 and single trolling with 6 canes can be made to avoid tangles.

Mariano did not let watch ecosonda until she indicated activity, immediately occurred to the first resentment the first fisherman took the cane began to fight against the fish, that by the bullfight and the force that exerted clearly declared to be a Lemon. Mariano and Lucho attended the fisherman, giving him the indications necessary not to lose it and hoisting it to the boat when I finish the hard fight. First capture of a beautiful unit.

We continued fishing, per moments the 3 canes had resentment, just a short time already we had captured three Lemons and several Anchovies. Being the Fish Lemon the main plate, the anchovy is the dessert, highly combative it perfectly allows to enjoy the fishing artificial and as if this outside little, doublets occurred and tripletes with facility.

While the activity of the species was intense and sounded chicharras of reels all meetings indicating us resentments in 3 canes of trolling, Mariano did not have better idea than to make us practice spinnig, with agreed equipment to the possible captures and using as deceit some jigs that demonstrated to be very effective in this scope.
 

The resentments were immediate and to make matters worse they continued the resentments in canes of trolling, Lucho and Mariano ran of band to band to attend the fishermen with their captures and to offer security him since there were many returned hooks giving and is not easy to maintain to a fish lemon quiet or an anchovy.

The quality of reels of spinnig in this type of fishing is very important, if it is not of good quality can have some kind of mechanical problem in reel that unites the mechanism at the powerful moment of and the quick one run of the fish lemon doing to us to lose the unit worse or even, hurting to us. Another possibility is the fast wear of a gun that comprises of the brake, since these usually burn when raising run temperature fruit of the violent one. In order to avoid this kind of problems Mariano it offers to the fishermen reels him of first mark, as they are Penn and Daiwa.

Finalized the fishing with artificial and that sensation that leaves to the adrenalin in the body the participants of the exit they chose to try a bottom fishing for which Mariano decided to sail other 4 miles to the east in search of the optimal place to practice this modality. Meanwhile I fight prepared the equipment of varied, canes of embarked and reels Penn Senator 4/0, with lines of 2 hooks 5/0, a lead of 450 generous grams and like bait pieces of well fresh Magrú.

The depth of the zone of fishing came near to the 50 meters, to obtain the captures Mariano had to accommodate the boat so that the current makes us happen over the stones where wise that were the fish, to fish to garete, this it requires coordination between the fishermen to avoid enlistments and coordination with the captain since there is a single last possibility by obtaining a resentment. Given to the order of the captain all the lines to the water, we loosen nylon until the plummet touches the bottom and waited for the resentment.

It is important to maintain a continuous contact with the line, to feel the cane and the equipment, so that we pruned to detect the resentment well and to avoid enlistments with stones, many species after taking our baits go in search of refuge in some cave of the bottom.

First happened, lines to the water and began the first captures, some Mere ones, Salmons and the rare presence of Codfish.

After awhile fishing varied the captain it decided to give by finalized the day, but not without before throwing some decoy in the zone where were the Lemons and the anchovies, we captured some more and quickly we maintained course to the port, already very we were tired, were 18:00 Hs. and we had lived an unforgettable adventure.

Until the Next one
