Capt. Gary Graham

Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fresh Fish Smorgasbord
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., July 14, 2001
TEMPERATURES: High of 96 with a low of 77. Light wind in the afternoon.
STRIPED MARLIN - More sailfish than marlin.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Best bet seems to be Cerralvo Island.
DORADO - Mostly in open water outside of Punta Pescadero with a few being
found early morning around the shark buoys.
ROOSTERFISH - Good inshore action early morning and mid-afternoon.
JACK CREVALLE - No large ones reported this week.
BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Still a few in front of La Ribera.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Reef in front of Hotel Rancho Leonero producing
excellent catches. Also some larger ones seen below Rincon.
.. OFFSHORE: A few blue marlin, striped marlin, and sails in the canyon
between La Ribera and Punta Colorada as well as up near the 88. Spotty
dorado and tuna in open water.
.. INSHORE: Great action in front of the hotels in the afternoon. Mostly
roosters, pargo and a few African pompano.
.. BEACH: Slower this week with less sardinia showing. Lots of mullet up and
down the beach which will attract the larger roosters.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Nice going to Craig Hueners, San Diego, who caught an
estimated 35 pound dorado near one of the shark buoys in front of Punta
Pescadero. One of Mike Robrhan's red deceivers did the trick. The good
rooster bite in front of the hotels just keeps going.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., July 14, 2001
Temperatures: 84-degree high; low in the mid-60s. Summer weather is here.
MARLIN - Several marlin spotted, with one reported caught by a passing
yacht.
DORADO - As the water warms up, the fish are starting to come into the area;
several reported caught this week.
TUNA - Few reported.
YELLOWTAIL - Good catches reported under the kelp paddies.
CORVINA - The bite continues at a good pace.
SNOOK - Good catches continue in some of the esteros at Almejas Bay.
HALIBUT - No one we know of targeted them this week.
.. QUICK COMMENT - This is the time of year when the focus begins to change
to offshore. Marlin, dorado, yellowtail have begun their annual migration
into the area. It will begin to get even better as the water continues to
warm up. Back in the esteros, the fishing has been consistently good for
snook, grouper, pargo and corvina. This is a great time to explore for those
deep channels where the fish like to hang out waiting for the tidal currents
to bring them a free meal.
