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., July 27, 2002
EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Hurricanes Douglas and Elida passed well below us and aside from
unsettled conditions mid-week had little impact on the East Cape area. The
dorado bite continued at a good pace with plenty of quality fish snapping up
poppers and See Through Deceivers. Inshore, the roosterfish remained the
crowd pleasers with a few pompano mixed in.
AIR & SEA - Partly cloudy and light to stiff breezes in the p.m.
Hi 101°
Lo 79°
Wind: NW/14 mph
Humidity: 49%
Dewpoint: 69°
Visibility: 15
Water Temps 77 - 85
. OFFSHORE: Takes a little effort, but it is worth it for both the stripers
and blues. We are starting to see an influx of sailfish as would be expected
this time of year.
. INSHORE: Small roosterfish dominated the catch with a few pompano to round
out the count.
. BEACH: Still seeing the mullet schools with the best action from La Ribera
to Punta Arena where the larger roosters are feeding on the mullet.
BILLFISH - Stripers, blues and more sailfish are offering a variety of shots
right now.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Still disappointing for this time of year.
DORADO - Plenty of action to take up the slack for the missing tuna.
ROOSTERFISH - Lots of shots. If roosters are your game, now is the time.
JACK CREVALLE - Not finding the bigger ones, but plenty of smaller ones to
keep busy with.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Plenty, just a few miles off shore.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few around, but not many anglers focusing on them.
SIERRA - Same here almost an incidental catch.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., July 27, 2002
IN GENERAL: On the outside, the seas were heavy with some 12 to15 foot
swells
reported from the two hurricanes that passed below Cabo this week. Down
below Tasco to above the entrada some 83-degree water was found. Tuna
seiners were working the area wrapping large schools of yellowfin tuna to 40
pounds. The entrance to Santa Maria bay produced some yellowtail under the
flocks of birds. Inside the bay, there’s still good halibut fishing near the
any sandy beach. Up in the esteros, there has been a steady pick on corvina,
grouper and a few snook to 10 pounds.
AIR & SEA: Partly cloudy with some breeze in the afternoon
Air Temperature 69 - 82
Water Temperature 69 - 82
YELLOWTAIL - Santa Maria Bay was the best bet this week.
CORVINA - Fair catches through out the bay.
SNOOK - Devil's Curve and Mario's Spot seem to be the best producers right
now.
HALIBUT - Plenty of smaller ones near the sandy beach across from San
Carlos.
SIERRA - Not enough to make the run all the way to Belchers.
