• Where to Fish on El Callo

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shape of El Callo decides where the fish sit. A boat opens water the bank never reaches, but is not needed.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 85°F; the cold one sits at 57°F. Heat, not cold, shapes the year here. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. That is the shape of the year on El Callo. Rain lifts the level and moves fish about.

• Tackle & Baits
