IN GENERAL: When we last left New Yorker Ed Johnson on Wed. (7/9) he was
still talking about the big one that got away. He decided to add a couple more fishing days to his trip to see if he could add a few species to his list. Well, he succeeded! On the beach he got to the sticks early and never left and by the end of the day had caught
ladyfish, gaff sail pompano, halibut, bonefish (small) and a nice rooster that fell just short of Bubba category. On a super panga on Thurs. he landed a 50-pound dorado along
with . . . .you guessed it, nine tuna.

· OFFSHORE: Gene Kira talks about the billfish pileup that occurs in June in his popular book "Baja Catch,” well it’s no longer June, but this was “pile up week.”
· INSHORE: More sardina beginning to show and you know what that means.
· BEACH: Our clients went to the sticks early morning and never left
it, plenty of bait to attract enough different kinds of fish that Jeff DeBrown our guide couldn't even remember all the species his client caught the last trip.
BILLFISH – 12-or 14-weight outfits for sails or stripes all within a few
miles of shore.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Talk about a spread of fish from 8 miles to 50!
DORADO – 12-weight time with the bigger fish hanging around.
ROOSTERFISH - Super panga or beach. Your choice
JACK CREVALLE - Both greens (smaller) or jack crevalle (bigger).
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Plenty around.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few in the mid-teens.
SIERRA - Decided to spend the summer with us along with their cousins
the bigger wahoo.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., July 12, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (7/09-7/11)
IN GENERAL: Esteros are the best bet. There is some action at the
Entrada but hardly worth the hours ride to get there and if the wind blows it can be
a bumpy ride home. Devil’s curve is producing the usual fare with corvina topping the list.

Air Temperature 71°-80°

YELLOWTAIL - Watch for the bird schools.
CORVINA - Pier, bridge, Power plant and Devil’s Curve all producing good action with a few five pounders mixed in.
SNOOK - We just keep waiting for it to break open.
HALIBUT - Chartreuse Clousers retrieved slowly along a sandy bottom
should produce some action.
SIERRA - Quiet for now.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
Please note the date. We are only providing weekly (not twice a week)
reports for this area.
Sat., July 12, 2003 Report covers the period Sun.-Fri. (7/05-7/11)
IN GENERAL: The blue water is only a mile off the beach, the seas are
very calm, and we are averaging about 3 sailfish per boat/day. Inshore, the water has cleaned up from the hard rains we had a couple of weeks ago and the roosterfish action and jack crevalle fishing isoutstanding.
There are very few anglers here and we are only putting about 10 boats a day on the water.
