.. QUICK COMMENT - Jeff Solis reported excellent beach fishing for the last several days. On Tuesday using a small blue and white alf pattern caught fifteen roosters, ten ladyfish and six trumpet fish. Here is a recent report from Ted Andradi:
I had a great time fishing with Jeff DeBrown this last week. He's an excellent guide. Guide Jeff Solis was also very gracious to my wife and I. My passion is catching as many species as possible on fly. I got 12 for the week: roosterfish (1), dorado (4), black Skipjack (8+), reef cornetfish (lots), spotted cabrilla (1), flag cabrilla (1), panamanian graysby (1), lizardfish (1), scorpion fish (1), pacific moonfish (lots), toro (2), lobeskin puffer (1).
Not a ton of fish, but the wind blew a gale most days. I had a great time and I'll be back!
Some quick recommendations: bring lots of olive and brown clousers (size 1-1/0 ish) to lose in the rocks; use 16# flouro for everything; bring at least an 8 and a 10 wt; don't bother with floating lines; if you want to keep fishing in the afternoon after your BOF trip, hit the rocks that are about 2 mi north and 2 mi south from Hotel Buena Vista. It's pot luck, but the Cornetfish are always biting and the walk is nice.
MAGDALENA BAY
Temperatures: 69-degree high; low 55.
TUNA - No one targeted them this week.
YELLOWTAIL - Good fishing near the Entrada (entrance).
CORVINA - Fair catches in estero south of San Carlos.
SNOOK - Still good fishing in several esteros less than 30 minutes from
Puerto San Carlos.
HALIBUT - Plenty of smaller fish to 8 lbs.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Finally some nice weather and a good yellowtail bite near the Entrada..
