Baja Sur - Saltwater Fishing Report
EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS
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 -
Wed., April 10, 2002
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Early mornings just south of La Ribera has been wide open for
roosters, jacks and ladyfish from gray light around 6:30 until about 8.
Sierra have been biting anything that hits the water for a half-hour just
before sunup. Our clients fishing from the pangas have had good success with
small to 20-pound roosters with an occasional jack thrown in for good
measure. The dorado bite slowed down except for a lucky few who found the
right school. On the billfish front, the fish are continuing their
springtime migration into the area and are still some distance below us. I
look for them to be a lot closer in the next few weeks.
AIR & SEA: Lots of clouds and a significant temperature drop in the last few
days. Strong winds from midday until evenings.
Sunny
Hi 90°
Lo 64°
Wind: VA17 mph
Humidity: 69%
Dewpoint: 61°
Visibility: 10
Sea Temps: 71 - 76 degrees
. OFFSHORE: The best action still is down and outside of Las Frailes. It is
at least a two-hour run to get there.
. INSHORE: It seems more like May than April. Last year everything seemed to
be a month late. This year it seems like it is a month early.
. BEACH: La Ribera can't be much better.
BILLFISH - Several boats came back with multiples and one had six flags
flying.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Still among the missing.
DORADO - Still hit or miss.
ROOSTERFISH - Some quality fish both inshore and from the beach.
JACK CREVALLE - Plenty slamming the sardinia at La Ribera and some single
big
boys cruising the seam.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Go a few miles off of Punta Arena and you'll
find all you want.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - If you land one over 10 pounds you are pretty good!
SIERRA - Still plenty around. Use clear or opaque wire bite tippet, not the
Black variety.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., April 10, 2002
IN GENERAL: Weather has improved this week and the fishing continues to
improve as well.
AIR & SEA: No wind and warmer temps this week.
YELLOWTAIL - A few at the entrada.
CORVINA - Both the pier and bridge coming into town yielded fair catches.
SNOOK – Devil’s Curve is the best bet for these guys right now.
HALIBUT - Sandy beaches with a chartreuse Clouser are a good bet.
SIERRA - Watch for the birds out in the bay toward the entrada.
