EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Schoolie dorado have shown up in good numbers, although it is
still a hit-or-miss proposition. One day is good and the next only so-so.
Sailfish are still the best bet for billfish anglers. Back inshore there
have been lots of skipjack. Still a few quality roosters being taken as
well. We’re seeing very few football-sized yellowfin tuna.
AIR & SEA - By Sun. (10/6) the north wind had backed off and we were back
to the normal afternoon breezes out of the east.
Temperature 91° F / 75° F
Humidity 83%
Wind Calm
Conditions Mostly Cloudy (BKN) : 4000 ft mostly cloudy (BKN) : 10000 ft

Water Temps in the mid- to upper-80's offshore.
· OFFSHORE: Still a few boats making the 35+ mile run for the tuna and
coming back with a few of the bigger variety.
· INSHORE: Schoolie dorado and skipjack provided the best action this
week. Still some quality roosters and a lot of smaller jacks as well.
· BEACH: Most of the action is between Rancho Leonero and La Ribera with
plenty of small jacks, roosters and ladyfish to take shots at.
BILLFISH - Sailfish still the safe bet.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Smaller fish inshore has slowed this week and the bigger
ones under the porpoise keep getting further away.
DORADO - Plenty of schoolies and more boats when they show.
ROOSTERFISH - Find the sardina (look for the pelicans diving) and the
roosters and jacks will be there.
JACK CREVALLE - The beach out in front of RBV produced nice-sized jacks
mid-afternoon.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Schools throughout Las Palmas Bay all the
way to Las Fralies
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Lots of smaller ones around the sticks at the arroyo
next to Scott Glenn's.
SIERRA - No takers this week.
