Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA
- THE ONLY ORVIS EXPEDITION COMPANY IN BAJA -
Sat., March 09, 2002
EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The Golden One, dorado – the fly-rodders’ favorite species –
showed up in spades this week! Mid-week, the smaller dorado (8-10 pounds)
came in double digits offshore from Rancho Leonero to outside of Cabo Pulmo.
Then, the next, day some larger fish (20-30 pounds) bit with a vengeance,
sucking a See Through Deceiver like it was the last morsel on the table. On
the marlin front, the count continued to climb with most of the fish
released being of the smaller variety, somewhat under 100-pounds. March is
shaping up to be a barn burner.
AIR & SEA:
Cloudy
Hi 85°
Low 61
Wind: NW/11 mph
Humidity: 56%
Dew point: 52°
Visibility: 12
Sea Temps: 68 - 72 degrees.
. OFFSHORE: Dorado were the stars for the week for our fly rod clients.
. INSHORE: Still a few yellows in front of La Ribera and the sierra still
chasing bait schools close to shore.
. BEACH: Getting better by the day. Look for the sardinia and the pelicans
and you will be in the middle of some fast paced action.
BILLFISH - Getting better every week, but not the volume needed for the
flyrodder.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Waiting for the temperatures to bump up a couple clicks.
.
DORADO -More seem to be arriving every day and eager to take your fly.
ROOSTERFISH - The big guys not here, but we’re seeing a few smaller fish.
JACK CREVALLE - Small schools moving fast along the shore looking for
sardinia.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Mostly bonito.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Take some time to explore the rocky points or reefs
along shore. Try using a floating line and a Holographic Popper and you may
get a trophy pargo.
SIERRA - Just keeps going. Don't forget the wire bite tippet! Watch for the
bait schools close to shore.
