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 -
Sat., April 13, 2002
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Inshore fishing – whether from panga, pontoon or the beach –
early morning is still the crowd-pleaser. A fly-fishing physician from
Spokane, Wash., was back again this year and had another great day on the
pontoon boat with double digit roosters as well as sierra, jacks and a few
pargo. Baja on the Fly guide Lance Peterson, on his last day before
returning to the States, was out on the beach before gray light for one
final fling and was not disappointed. The action was fast and furious and
he still was back in time to catch his shuttle at 11 a.m. He said it was one
of his best days ever
on the beach with some real variety including, roosters, jacks, ladyfish and
even sierra.
AIR & SEA: Still a little cooler than normal for this time of year.
Sunny
Hi 90°
Lo 64°

. OFFSHORE: As promised, the action moved a little closer to home with good
billfish and dorado action 10- to 15-miles out from the lighthouse at Punta
Arena.
. INSHORE: In front of both Buenavista Beach Resort and Rancho Leonero, the
action has been good early morning even the kayakers are whacking them.
. BEACH: La Ribera can't be much better in the early morning and late
afternoon.
BILLFISH - Continuing to improve and move closer every day.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - I think Charley is still partying at Cabo.
DORADO - Good but scattered.
ROOSTERFISH - Some quality fish both inshore and from the beach.
JACK CREVALLE - A few more large fish found this week.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Go a few miles off of Punta Arena and you'll
find all you want.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Good bite in front of Rancho Buena Vista in the
afternoon on the rock reef.
SIERRA - Everywhere. Use clear or opaque wire bite tippet, not the black
variety.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., April 13, 2002
IN GENERAL: The most action this week was the opening of scallop season.
With
over 400 permits issued, I don't think the tasty morsels have a chance.
AIR & SEA: Warmer morning and windy afternoons.
YELLOWTAIL - A few at the entrada.
CORVINA - The bridge at the entrance to town is pretty good early mornings.
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.
