EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

Feb. 16 Full Feb. 23 Last Quarter Mar. 2 New Mar. 11 First Quarter
· OFFSHORE: A bit slower but still happening.
· INSHORE: Plenty of sierra to keep everyone flinging flies.
· BEACH: Pretty tough with the early morning being the best before the wind gets going.
BILLFISH – Sounds like the tailers being seen began to bite a bit.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Look out. These are not the football variety.
DORADO - Most of the fish are above average in size.
ROOSTERFISH – A few smaller ones on the beach.
JACK CREVALLE - A lot of five pounders that think they are 20-pounders.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Forget 'em. Go look for tuna and dorado!
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Try the rocky points for the best results
SIERRA - Just before sunup or late afternoon on the calm days is the best
time.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., Feb. 12, 2003
IN GENERAL: Late February, and plenty of what could be expected, “whale buzz” more being seen every day at the entrance as well as a few new born. It is difficult to find anyone that wants to talk about fishing. Still a few yellowtail and sierra out beyond the Entrada and even a few bonita and skipjack to play with. Back up in the Esteros the currents have been pretty strong and the fish not very hungry.
Water Temperature 67-71
Air Temperature 66°-66°
Humidity 64%
Wind Calm
Conditions Overcast
Visibility 3 miles
Sunrise 7:00 a.m. MST

YELLOWTAIL - Best bet is out a mile outside the Entrada in deep water.
CORVINA – Action dropped off dramatically.
SNOOK - Only an occasional one. Next month should be better with the
lessening tides. IGFA has created a new category for Pacific snook, so there
could be a few world records in Magdalena Bay's future and maybe yours.
HALIBUT – Sand beach on the south side of Punta Belcher produced a few.
SIERRA - Punta Belcher is pretty good right now.
