Baja Mexico: Magdalena Bay, Baja Sur & East Cape.

Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., Oct. 13, 2001
Sea Temperature: 80-84. Air Temperature: 87 high to 69 low.
.. IN GENERAL - As anticipated, the dorado and tuna fishing has been great.
Even the billfish have decided to begin to play after the storm. Most of the
boats are focusing on the dorado and tuna with several areas producing good
catches. Cabo Pulmo and La Ribera have been consistent for dorado and a few
smaller tuna. Outside, under the porpoise, the tuna have been larger with a
few up to 60 pounds.
I was fishing near Cabo Pulmo and looked out to sea and spotted the "Mary
Lee", the boat we use for Flyrod Marlin 101, heading up to Magdalena Bay to
begin our trips the first of November. I talked to John Barnes the skipper
and he assured me everything was ready and he was going to be out doing some
scouting before the first group and I arrived to begin fishing on the 1st.
We do have one slot that has opened up. If you are interested, give Yvonne
a call at 800 919 225 for more specific information.
.. OFFSHORE: Dorado and tuna are the best we have seen this summer and the
billfish seem to be heating up as well.
.. INSHORE: Yuk! Dirty water with lots of debris has slowed the inshore down
to a standstill.
.. BEACH: The best action is north of Los Barriles, but it is an on-again
off-again proposition. John Lopez, visiting us from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
did manage to land a nice rooster this morning from the beach, which is a
first in the past few days.
BILLFISH - Starting to pick up.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Good catches from footballs to the grandes.
DORADO - Best we have had this summer and early fall. We see no reason for
it to stop.
ROOSTERFISH - Water has to clear up some.
JACK CREVALLE - Again, dirty water slowed things down a lot.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Plenty along the trash line a few miles
offshore.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few of the reefs holding fish, but it's difficult to
predict.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., Oct. 13, 2001
.. IN GENERAL: Here we go! Fall and winter season is beginning and the
reports are starting to trickle in. There's wahoo on the double 23's, lots
of football tuna around the Thetis and a few dorado under the buoys. A few
marlin are being seen here and there but, no herds yet.
Temperatures: 78 during the day, 71 at night.
MARLIN - A few fish spotted by yachts traveling down the coast.
DORADO - Shark buoys still the best bet.
TUNA - One long range boat reported excellent catches a few miles above the
Thetis Bank.
YELLOWTAIL - Little to talk about.
CORVINA - A few near the bridge at the entrance to town.
SNOOK - Not a bonanza, but a few quality fish are showing up.
SIERRA - No report.
PARGO & GROUPER - Don't overlook Devils Curve for some good action on
chartreuse Clousers.
