Baja Mexico: Magdalena Bay, Baja Sur & East Cape.
Capt. Gary Graham

Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The winds, which we thought were pretty much finished, jumped up
again Sun. and Mon. Yesterday (3/5) they quit. There has been a fair
showing of marlin with a few dorado mixed in. Also the giant squid have
begun to show up offshore and, yes, they will bite a fly. Inshore has been
tough because of the wind and the beach was not fishable until yesterday.
Sierra, jacks and a few yellowtail in front of La Ribera provided the best
action inshore.
I will be attending the Fred Hall Fishing Tackle and Boat Show in Long
Beach. I'll be in Buenavista Beach Resort Hotel's booth on Thurs. (3/7) and
Hotel Rancho Leonero's booth on Fri. Stop by and checkout some of our new
flies or chat.
AIR & SEA:
Sunny
Hi 83°
Lo 61°
Wind: N /6 mph
Humidity: 60%
Dewpoint: 54°
Visibility: 15
Sea Temps: 67.5 - 73 degrees.
. OFFSHORE: From Punta Arena to Las Frailes 10 to 20 miles off is providing
the best action for marlin, dorado and giant squid.
. INSHORE: Good action for sierra, jacks, pargo, cabrilla and a few quality
yellowtail down deep at La Ribera
. BEACH: Find the sardina and you will probably find the sierra early
morning and jacks until mid-morning. Rock structure still providing good
action for pargo and cabrilla.
BILLFISH - They found a fair marlin bite mostly on bait with a few on lures
still not enough volume for the fly.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Lots of footballs outside of Punta Arena.
.
DORADO -The few reported were among the fleet off of Las Frailes. There are
still a
fair number of smaller fish spread out Las Palmas Bay.
ROOSTERFISH - A few smaller fish mixed in with the schools of jacks.
JACK CREVALLE - Mostly smaller fish, every once in a while the larger ones
show up slamming into a school of sardinia trapped against the shore.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Mostly bonito.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Most of the rocky points are holding schools of small
to medium sized fish
SIERRA - Don't forget the wire bite tippet! Watch for the bait schools close
to shore.

Up in the esteros, the corvina, spotted bay bass and pompano have been the
