Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
Fish Will ROck You
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., July 21, 2001
TEMPERATURES: High of 91 with a low of 80. Strong winds in the afternoon.
STRIPED MARLIN - Fair to good.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - The La Ribera bite only lasted two days and now the school
seems to be scattered.
DORADO – A few being found early morning around the shark buoys. Larger fish
found in open water.
ROOSTERFISH - Good inshore action continues early morning and mid-afternoon.
JACK CREVALLE - The bigger fish returned this week.
BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Not much reported this week.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Reef in front of Hotel Rancho Leonero producing fair
catches.
.. OFFSHORE: A few blues and about an equal number of sails and striped
marlin scattered throughout the bay.
.. INSHORE: Roosterfish, jacks and sierra were the mainstay this week.
.. BEACH: Roosterfish strung out all along the beach from RBV to La Ribera.
.. QUICK COMMENT - I was sitting on my porch yesterday afternoon and a fellow
and his wife stopped in front of the house. He began fishing while she
sun-bathed. A little later, I hear the guy whooping and hollering and
telling his
wife to get the camera because he is hooked up to a "pez gallo" (it’s
amazing how sound travels on the beach). He brings it in and they
photograph what appears to be a 10 pound rooster. A little later I went down
the beach to check on one our boats coming in and he whistles to get my
attention. He tells me that he has read my book and that is what got him
excited about fly-fishing the beach. He had just caught his first rooster
and he couldn't thank me enough for writing the book. I thanked him and he
is going to stop by today (Sat.) with his book so I can sign it.
That has been the story this week: Spend some time on the beach and you are
going to get the shots at old pez gallo.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., July 21, 2001
Temperatures: 90-degree high; low 70. Overcast with some rain.
MARLIN - More every week.
DORADO - Most of the fish are smaller school fish with a few larger ones
mixed in.
TUNA - Still little action.
YELLOWTAIL - Didn't hear of any this week.
CORVINA - Still good.
SNOOK – Devil’s Curve producing fair action as well as under the bridge at
the
entrance to town.
HALIBUT - Not much this week.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Heard an interesting report from some of the commercial
shark fisherman. Their shark buoys are currently 35 miles out on a 240
degree heading from the entrada. They report that there are numerous marlin
and smaller dorado out in that area. Closer to shore on the south side of
the entrada on the outside there has been a pretty good pargo bite in deeper
water. You will need a 10-weight with a 350 to 400 grain head to get a super
Clouser down where they are hanging out. If you try it, be sure to hang on
for dear life or they will rock you in a heart
