EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Water temperatures jumped back up to the normal ranges this week
which was just in time for Bill Meyers, Klamath Falls, Ore., and his family
to have fun day catching dorado on the fly to 20 pounds. Inshore,
roosterfish slowed down a click late this week with only a few fish coming
to the mullet teaser. We did catch several up to 10 pounds. Maybe with the
water warming the sardina will show up again. With the lack of smaller bait
it has been tough to keep the dorado and tuna around the boat long enough
for the flyrodder to get their shots with the fly.

AIR & SEA - Some high clouds and light breezes in the p.m.
Hi 98°
Lo 76°
Wind: N /9 mph
Humidity: 55%
Dewpoint: 69°
Visibility: 15
Water Temps 79 - 84
OFFSHORE: Warmer water throughout the area should help settle things down
and correct some of the inconsistency we have been seeing from day-to-day.
There was a report of one larger tuna this week in the 100+ class; maybe
there will be more of the same this week.
INSHORE: Shark buoys off of Punta Pescadero produced the best action for
dorado. Most of the tuna were found under the porpoise.
BEACH: Find a mullet school and stay with it. The roosters will show up
sooner or later and you’d better be ready. Try using larger fly with more
brown than olive, with a white belly and flash. For pompano, try a small
Clouser or even a Crazy Charlie in olive or chartreuse.
BILLFISH - They are here in volume and you can get the shots if you are
patient.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Lots of football size with an occasional larger one.
DORADO - Lots of free swimmers and some under the shark buoys at Punta
Pescadero.
ROOSTERFISH - Up and down this week but still pretty good.
JACK CREVALLE - A few large schools close to the lighthouse at Punta Arena.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Not much pressure this week. Everyone’s
looking for other species.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Rock reefs are your best bet right now.
SIERRA - From the pier to the reef in front of Rancho Leonero is the best
bet.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Most of the warmer water is south below Punta Tosca and is
holding some dorado. No one we know of was able to locate any tuna out as
far as 35 miles.
AIR & SEA: Cloudy
Air Temperature 66 - 76
Water Temperature 60 - 74
YELLOWTAIL - Still only bottom fish near the entrada; maybe as the water
warms up they will show.
CORVINA – Power plant and bridge were the best bets this week.
SNOOK - Chartreuse and white is the best color choice and when coupled with
a slow retrieve along the bottom the results can be surprising.
HALIBUT - Most of the sandy beaches have a few.
SIERRA - Still quiet.
