Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
A Fine Dorado Day
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., May 16, 2001
TEMPERATURES: High of 87 with a low of 60.
STRIPED MARLIN - Plenty out there. Now, if we can just teach them to them
to
bite.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Porpoise are holding a few.
DORADO - Sargasso (floating pods of seaweed) close to Punta Pescadero
produced great catches for everyone there.
ROOSTERFISH - Some quality fish in front of both hotels.
JACK CREVALLE - Good catches continue from both the pontoon boat and the
shore.
BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - A few scattered here and there.
PARGO AND CABRILLA -Punta Colorada was the place to be this week.
.. OFFSHORE: Finally, a good pop on the dorado and when the marlin get with
the program it is going to be some great action.
.. INSHORE: With no wind, the inshore fishing just keeps going and going.
.. BEACH: La Ribera has lots of sardinia schools close to the shore and
sierra, roosters and jacks know it.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Dorado three miles out in front of Punta Pescadero, more
and more marlin seen every day, roosters thick in front of Hotel Buena Vista
mixed with good-sized jacks and ladyfish make for an active morning. Our
saltwater fly-fishing fanatic Englishman, Ray Barker Smith, is back with a
friend, Marlene White, who fished with us last Nov. Using see-through
deceivers she got her first dorado on the fly and then went on to get her
second, third, etc. What a great way to spend her birthday. Ray, not to be
outdone, racked up a nice score as well.
