BILLFISH OVERSHADOWED BY DORADO AND TUNA
OFF EAST CAPE BEACHES THIS WEEK

Oct. 9, 2004, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, East Cape fly fishing, Baja California Sur, Mexico:

Dorado, Tuna, or Tuna, Dorado both were the dominating catch this week off East Cape beaches. Billfish continued to be a distant third. Roosters, as well as sierra once again made their appearance for both the beachniks and pangas fishing close to shore.

East Cape water temperature 79-88. Air temperature 74-87. Conditions: Scattered Clouds.

OFFSHORE: Tuna all around to keep the rod bent until you are ready for a margarita at the swim-up bar

INSHORE: Dorado just don’t want to quit. Still close to shore and heavy enough to pull the old string.

BEACH: Look for the sardina and the roosters and sierra are sure to be there.

BILLFISH – Slow by anyone’s standards.

YELLOWFIN TUNA – Plenty.

DORADO – Still the star of the inshore.

ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE – Sunrise or sunset for the ambitious.

BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Breezing schools in front of La Ribera.

PARGO AND CABRILLA – Rocky points best.

SIERRA – They are back and aggressive.
