[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]IN GENERAL Chubasco Ignacio stirred things up enough for water temperatures to drop 5-6 degrees. The runoff from the rain created some off-color water extending out a few miles from shore. As expected, plenty of debris was dumped into the sea. If you find anything floating at the edge of the dirty water it can be "Katy Bar the Door" dorado fishing. Offshore, tuna, billfish including sails and stripes seem to be impervious to Chubascos and were waiting for the boats when they finally went back out. If you need evidence of how much the water turned over during the storm, giant squid have shown up again and yep, they will bite a fly. I bet there are not many of you with one of those on your species list. [/font][/size]
