IN GENERAL Residual effects of last week’s rain continue to put a damper on the inshore action. Further offshore, the water cleans up and there are a few tuna, dorado and billfish to be found. Be sure to pick up a copy of the December issue of Fly Fisherman Magazine (rooster on the cover) and check out Dan Blanton's article on his 4 Best Bets
for Baja. Of course, Baja on the Fly/East Cape is one of them.

MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., Sept. 10, 2003 Report covers the period Sat. -Tues. (9/06 - 9/09)
IN GENERAL: Big time yellowtail show at the entrada (entrance) drew most of the attention this week. A bit further out, about 15-18 miles west, there were a few dorado and marlin to mess with. Marlin were strung out all the way up to the Thetis Bank. Closer to the bank, the tuna were putting on a fair show. With all the action at the entrada, the esteros (estuaries) took a back seat for the week.
