EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL The Chubasco Ignacio passed off the coast of Buena Vista Sat. night. The wind roared all night long, with gusts from 75- to 120-mph, but amazingly there was no real damage done to the hotel. Plenty of rain up to 20-inches reported in some areas filled up several of the arroyos making them impassable. Both Las Palmas Arroyo near Mira Flores and the Las Cuevas Arroyo south of Buena Vista near the turnoff to La Ribera should be open in the next day or two. While all flights were cancelled Sun. and Mon., all airlines are reporting business as usual today. With all the debris dumped out of the arroyos everyone is anticipating a bonanza in the dorado department. Boats headed out yesterday found calm seas with mixed results and the fleet is back up to full speed as of this morning (8/27). Thanks to all of you who contacted us to be sure the Baja on the Fly staff had survived the latest Baja Chubasco.

· OFFSHORE: Will take a few days for everything to settle back down.
· INSHORE: Very dirty water from runoff that should clear up fairly quickly.
· BEACH: With the arroyos opened up it is tough to even get up and down the
beaches.
BILLFISH - The fleet will have to find them all over again.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Same deal here.
DORADO - Plenty of trash and flotsam should make it easier to find them.
ROOSTERFISH - Give it a couple of days and they will show up.
JACK CREVALLE - Punta Colorada receivers is a good place to start.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - They're mixed in with the tuna under the
porpoise.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Las Barracas was holding a few, but it's an early
morning deal.
SIERRA - Punta Colorada Bay under the receiver the best shot.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., August 27, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Tues. (8/23 - 8/26)
IN GENERAL: A much weaker, slow moving Ignacio brought plenty of rain and
wind to Puerto San Carlos and the surrounding areas beginning on Mon. night and
is continuing dump buckets full as of this morning. Some flooding was reported at
Ciudad Constitución, but no serious damage so far. Before the storm hit, positive reports from offshore enticed several pangas out in search of big tuna and they found some
in the 50-pound class. With temps on the rise, bait balls are forming, and more and more exotics including marlin, tuna and dorado are being spotted. It looks like the Magdalena Bay fish pileup will not disappoint again this year. Don't miss out on the spectacular show. Get a front row seat at Flyrod Marlin 101. Call 800 919 2252 today.
