Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS
REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA
- THE ONLY ORVIS EXPEDITION COMPANY IN BAJA -
Wed., April 03, 2002
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: As we “promised” in last Saturday’s report, Easter brought
spectacular inshore fishing which has continued through today. We’re seeing
jacks in the 20-pound class feeding in such skinny water that they are
getting sunburned. Some boats are coming back boasting 10 different species
for the day. There are dorado in double digits and a few marlin as well.
Cecilia "Pudge" Kleinkauf’s Women’s Flyfishing® group has had a great time
catching jacks, dorado, sierra, and pargo from both the cruisers and the
beach. Many of the attendees are already planning next year’s trip.

roosters hammering them hard.
BILLFISH - Several caught and released this week
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Only rumors.
DORADO - Starting to find a few schools.
ROOSTERFISH - Some quality fish cruising the beach right now.
JACK CREVALLE - So much for slow, huge schools cruising near the shore.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Go a few miles off of Punta Arena and you'll
find all you want.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - I saw one yesterday in front of Rancho Leonero that was
caught from a kayak on the drop-off, over 20 pounds.
SIERRA - Plenty around. Use clear or opaque wire bite tippet, not the black
variety.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., April 03, 2002
IN GENERAL: Not much offshore and little activity up in the esteros. A few
reports would indicate decent fishing both near the power plant and up
toward Devil’s Curve.
AIR & SEA: Fair weather with 75-66 temps and lots of wind.
YELLOWTAIL - Not much on the surface, everything in 100 feet of water or
more
at the entrada.
CORVINA - Mostly smaller fish in the usual spots.
SNOOK - A few spotted near Devil’s Curve in the deeper holes.
HALIBUT - Sandy beaches with a chartreuse Clouser a good bet.
SIERRA - Still no action
