Water
Temperature: Water
temperature has remained the same, good all Baja Summer
consistency, yes the conditions are in the right place, and
good fishing, not wide open, but good fishing.
Weather
Temperature: Nice
Summer weather, very rarely we have gotten past the 100's,
actually this week with nice breeze kept the days nice and
cool. Some rain during the week, and some cloudy days, which
is great for the dorado fishing.
Fishing Spots and Distance:
Off-shore fishing.-
Early in the
week, most of the boats where fishing North, very close to
Punta Pescadero's about 6 to 15 miles, with good catches of
dorado up to 40 lbs mix with good size billfish. South the
action was a little slower, but still good with some stripers,
sails and some wahoos. Tuna is the only thing that we can't
say that have consistent, since you see them one day and you
don't next day. Still there are more footballs than big, still
Mr. Mullin while fishing with Capt. Juan Garcia on the 23'
Mosca fought a tuna for 3 hours, that they brought up to the
boat, before it broke the line. Juan estimated that the tuna
was at least 200 lbs, and know our captain, they always aim
lower than what they really are.
In-shore fishing.-
Summer brings the best out in the inshore
fishing, with a lot of combine catches from roosterfish,
ladyfish, pampano, cabrilla etc, etc, fishing from La Rivera
to El Rincon has been the best areas. YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR
LIGHT LINE EQUIPMENT, you will be surprise how good it really
is. Hotel Buenavista Beach Resort is hosting the 1st PENN
INTERNATIONAL LIGHT LINE EAST CAPE GRAND SLAM TOURNAMENT where
we will be a lot of fun and let me tell you, PENN has really
put together great prices.
Successful
lures:
When is good fishing,
all of them work. No, you are correct, this is the same lane
as last week..
Bait
Used: Bait
guys are having a little more problem to get the bait, still
most of the boats are getting plenty.
Highlight of
the Week: Wahoo
start to come in more often, sometimes you really need to
target them, with special equipment to catch them, but now
according to our number is the best time for them, from here
to the early November. Good blue marlins, still some stripped
marlins, and the sails seems to still be shy of coming to the
Sea of Cortez, still there are some around. Dorado, the rain
on Tuesday helped to bring floating things to the water,
therefore it just should be a matter of time to get the
schools in.
Mr. Cooper Ken
from Washington D.C. while fishing with Felipe and
Reggie on their boat, Yanet: released 1 blue, 1 sail, and 1
stripped . close to the East Cape grand slam.
Hope to see you
next week!!!
