EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: We’re having strange weather for June. It’s flat calm in the
morning with strong cool winds beginning late morning switching from one
direction to another without apparent rhyme or reason. Surprisingly,
fishing continued at a good pace. Jerry Panteleo, from Fresno, Calif., had a
fair day fishing from the pontoon boat, finding some ladyfish and jacks that
cooperated. Olive Clousers did the trick for the ladyfish that act like a
small tarpon.

went way up this week.
