July 2004
This has
been a picture postcard perfect summer. Our
weather down here on the East Cape is in the
mid-90s, the water is crystal clear, warm and in
the mid-80s, and the fishing continues to be
awesome. If you have never being in our resort in
September this year could be a great opportunity
as major airlines are giving away great deals and
you ad that to our 2X1
September Mexico's Patriotic Month
Special, we can almost assure you, that
you will have a great time, with no crowds
in the resort nor in the ocean, which combine with
what we the locals consider the best fishing as
well as diving and snorkeling conditions, you are
sure to have a ball.
During July we had a full lineup of
special events, tournaments and other fun things
happening at the resort. Bookings are way up this
year, a sign that all of you are traveling again,
and enjoying sharing time with us at our very
special Jewel of the East Cape. We welcome you, as
always, with open arms.
We hosted our very own 8th
Annual Big Game Blowout from the 24th
to 26th of July and a great time was
had by all. Read about it in the Fish Story
section of this newsletter. We are also quite
proud of Esaul Valdez. On July 20th he
caught a 531 pound blue marlin, a personal record
for him. He was on the Dusty B III, fishing with
his friends Togo Hazard and Derek Tresize. Captain
Vicente Cosio and deckhand Nestor were on hand for
the trophy photo.
We felt this past month as it came and go at a
blink of an eye. There were so many great friends
and so many great memories that just want to share
some: It was so nice to see the Grüenig Family
visit us for a few weeks all the way from
Switzerland, and even nicer was to have met
Grandma; Michael, Rick, David and the whole gang,
who after going out to dinner in Long Beach, I was
not able to see them down at the resort; It was
nice to see the Carpenter family and we will work
something special for sure for their next trip. We
were also honor with the visit from many friends
from our community who came to honor a great
person Doctor Mondragon, who is among the most
respectable persons in our state. And then
we had Mr. Rayner that we were all very happy to
see in such a great health, he
looked really well, good job and even better job
for Nancy. I can still picture the great dorado
bite we got into while fishing
with our friends Roy, Pam and daughter Yessi, even though we
stayed up late playing cards a night before, it was about time to
see them down at the resort; Mr. Craig, Mr. Weaver
and of course the Robles bunch, just to name a few… It
was great to see you all.
We hosted the
4th Annual East Cape Bisbee Tournament!
from August 3rd through 7th
If you weren’t there, you have to wait until next
month to read about it, or check the website for
the Weekly Fishing Report the first week of
August. We list the winners and there are plenty
of photos documenting the event
(click

for billfish and dorado was a local, Woody Sale
who was on his own boat, the Andale. He caught and
released two blue marlins. He won the dorado
jackpot as well, with a 47.7 pounder. He got
plenty of cool prizes, plus $300 for that dorado.
They not only proved that they are lucky, but also
that he and his wife make a great team, and that
they are really good fishermen as they were
fishing by themselves. Here in the picture with
dorado.
the
fishing the day of the tournament was just not as
good as the previous day. Then there’s the story
from two years ago where Greg’s partner, Greg
Sweeney caused them to lose the Tuna Jackpot
because he filleted the winning fish on board the
boat. Hey, that’s fishing, found out more about
their great trip
