Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
It's Starting to Roar
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., March 31, 2001
TEMPERATURES: High of 84 with a low of 56.
STRIPED MARLIN - The counts continue to improve.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Still hit or miss, best action up toward Muertos Bay.
DORADO - A few larger dorado caught this week out in open water.
ROOSTERFISH - Plenty of smaller fish close to shore with a few fish showing
around the bait boat in the morning.
JACK CREVALLE - A few fish up to 20 pounds are hanging out in front of the
hotels .
BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Not much action this week.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Good near shore action at Rancho Buena Vista, Punta
Colorada or Cerro Verde.
.. OFFSHORE: Conditions continue to be on the upswing with more warm water
moving in. Several boats reported more marlin in the area.
.. INSHORE: Both the pontoon and pangas have provided good catches this week,
with sierra, rooster, jacks, ladyfish and pargo catches almost every day.
.. BEACH: A few small roosters, ladyfish, sierra and some fair-sized jacks
early morning and late afternoon.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Mike Newell and his wife Linda, from Henderson, Nev.,
added more roosters, jacks to 20 pounds, pompano and a few jacks up to 20
pounds to their catches made earlier in the week while fishing with our
guide Jeff DeBrown on the Ole captained by Rene from Rancho Leonero. Mike
continued to take advantage of the excellent early mornings and late
afternoons. He had a great time chasing the jack crevalle up and down the
beach in front of his hotel.
The old cliché of March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb is
being reversed at least so far as fishing is concerned. After a passive,
lamb-like beginning of the month, it’s been on the improve the past week or
10 days. East Cape fishing is definitely beginning to roar.
