Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
Jacks Rock 'n' Roll
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., May 30, 2001
TEMPERATURES: High of 94 with a low of 74 and some wind in the afternoon.
STRIPED MARLIN - You just have to be in the right place at the right time to
find some pretty good fishing.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - East end of Cerralvo Island is producing fair catches on
olive deceivers fished deep.
DORADO - From 10 miles off of Punta Pescadero to the Eighty-Eight is
producing some of the larger variety, up to 50 pounds.
ROOSTERFISH - Good show every morning in front of Rancho Leonero, Buenavista
Beach Hotel and La Ribera.
JACK CREVALLE - Good catches continue from both the pontoon boat and the
shore with La Ribera being the best bet.
BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - A few scattered everywhere.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few in front of Rancho Buena Vista.
.. OFFSHORE: Plenty of fish being seen by some of the boats each day;
however, they’re not real aggressive on the fly.
.. INSHORE: The front-of-the-hotel-bite has been hit pretty hard by bait
fisherman and we have gone in search new areas. La Ribera to Punta Colorada
is producing good catches of roosters to15 pounds. White See-Through
Deceivers are producing the best action.
.. BEACH: La Ribera is the best bet both early morning and late afternoon.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Mike Kelson, from Tumwater, Wash., fly-fishing with his
son for the first time, only needed a quick lesson from our guide Chris
Benson. Then he was ready to get started by catching a nice jack on a white
deceiver on the very first fly-fishing trip of his life.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., May 30, 2001
Temperatures: 78-degree high; low in the mid 60's. Fair skies with little
wind in the afternoon.
TUNA - No catches reported.
YELLOWTAIL - Santa Margarita island seems to be the best bet right now.
CORVINA - Punta Belcher is holding a few larger fish, up to about seven
pounds.
SNOOK - Mario's spot produced several smaller fish this week.
HALIBUT - Not bad near Punta Belcher.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Olive Clousers fished on an outgoing tide produced several
fish to 10 pounds. Cast the fly toward the bank and let the current sweep it
back into the channel as it sinks. Either a cabrilla or snook will
probably ring your bell.
