Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
Singing the Blues - Blue Marlin, That Is
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., August 04, 2001
TEMPERATURES: High of 94 with a low of 80. Some wind Fri. afternoon.
STRIPED MARLIN - Off of Punta Arena to Los Friales between four to 10 miles
producing fair action.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Below and outside of Las Frailes produced the best action
under the porpoise.
DORADO Mainly larger fish in open water with only a few found under the
shark
buoys.
ROOSTERFISH - Best early morning and mid afternoon in front of La Ribera and
Buenavista Beach Resort.
JACK CREVALLE - Only a few spotted this week.
BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Slow.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few showed up in the counts at several hotels.
.. OFFSHORE: Blue marlin action was hit or miss. If you were in the right
place at
the right time, several boats reported fair action in front of Punta
Pescadero.
There are some quality dorado in open water.
.. INSHORE: Roosterfish, jacks and sierra were the best bet for the inshore
crowd.
.. BEACH: Some dirty water slowed action down slightly, but it is still
pretty
awesome.
.. QUICK COMMENT - Spent yesterday teasing up blue marlin and the action was
fair. We raised several fish and the client had shots, but didn't connect.
However, we hooked the mother of all dorado. This fish cleared the water by
at least 15 feet and did it twice. I believe the fish would have gone over
60 pounds, but we will never know because he just kept leaping off into the
sunset.
See our Catch of the Week.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., August 04, 2001
Temperatures: 80-degree high; low 68. After a week of picture perfect
weather
the wind began to blow Fri. and brought some clouds with it.
MARLIN - Several fair sized groups seen near Thetis Bank by the commercial
fisherman.
DORADO - 240 degrees 25 miles under the shark buoys is the best bet.
TUNA - Still little to report.
YELLOWTAIL - Some quality fish caught at Thetis Bank; some reported as large
as 20 pounds
CORVINA - Slowed down somewhat this week.
SNOOK - Several large ones caught inside of Punta Redondo.
HALIBUT - Out near the entrada there seems to be a concentration feeding on
red crabs.
.. QUICK COMMENT – OK, so how large to the snook get in Magdalena Bay? I saw
one caught by a commercial fisherman that had to be at least 40 pounds.
Sooner or later if the commercials leave a few we will get one like that on
the fly!
