Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
Grande Tuna are Churning up the Water
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., July 28, 2001
TEMPERATURES: High of 93 with a low of 74. Flat calm all day yesterday
(Fri.); same this morning.
STRIPED MARLIN - Best action off of Cabo Pulmo and Las Frailes.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - A few down toward Cabo Pulmo and below Las Frailes under
porpoise schools.
DORADO - A few being found early morning around the shark buoys. Larger fish
are being found in open water.
ROOSTERFISH - Good inshore action continues early morning and mid-afternoon
in front of La Ribera and Rancho Leonero.
JACK CREVALLE - The bigger fish are seen close to the beach at Punta Arena.
BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Fair catches in front of La Ribera.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Reef in front of Hotel Rancho Leonero producing a few
.. OFFSHORE: The Bisbee Black & Blue tournament finished up yesterday with
only a few qualifying fish and most under the minimum weight of 300 pounds.
The best news was some larger tuna were found under the porpoise below Las
Frailes. One toad was brought in last night at Rancho Leonero that weighed
over 200 pounds. Not on a flyrod I regret to say.
.. INSHORE: Roosterfish, jacks and sierra continue to produce some great
action.
.. BEACH: Roosterfish strung out all along the beach from RBV to La Ribera.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Beach and inshore are still the best bet. I caught
several
small roosters driving over to the office to write this report. See-through
deceivers and a white Clousers with gold eyes worked the best.
We were shocked and saddened to learn of the death of longtime Baja
resident, concerned environmentalist, angler and fishing reporter Fred
Hoctor. Fred was the Baja Beat editor for Western Outdoor News and an
excellent outdoor journalist. Death was attributed to a series of heart
attacks. Fred will be sorely missed by his family, friends and readers.
See our Catch of the Week.
