Just returned from a 6 day fishing trip at Rancho Leonero. Great weather (except for 1 day), great resort with good food and customer service. Each day I fished on a cabin cruiser or super panga in the morning and then kayak fished in front of the resort in the afternoon. On the boats I caught some nice yellowfin tuna, dorado, ladyfish, sierra, trigger fish, needlefish, humbolt squid, and others. Kayak fishing is what I love to do and was the best part of the trip for me. I caught and released around 12 Dorado and harvested 3 others. Here are some pics from my trip
