NORTH WINDS KEEPING MOST EAST CAPE FLY FISHERS SITTING AROUND THE POOL

April 2, 2005, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, East Cape fly fishing report, Baja California Sur,, Mexico:

The first three days of the East Cape fishing week were punctuated by a strong North wind. Cecilia Pudge Kleinkaufs Baja Spring Co-Ed Special began Mon. (3/28) with mixed fishing results. Tues. and Wed. produced fair fishing action early in the morning for skipjack in front of La Ribera. Later in the day, moving offshore, the group found plenty to look at as the marlin put on a show feeding on the surface.

Steve Tomilson, New York, NY had excellent action on roosterfish inshore, landing his first-ever on the fly. He rounded off the day with a few skipjack and ladyfish. He is already talking about coming back in May to hunt for Bubba.

By the end of the week, the North wind was back at the East Cape sportfishing area, keeping all but the most dedicated close to the pool with a book in one hand and a cold drink with an umbrella in the other. Ron Radwin, Pittstown, NJ drove up from Cabo San Lucas to check out the beach and liked what he saw. A frequent visitor to Baja, he plans to hang out on a Baja beach more often.

East Cape sportfishing vacation area water temperatures were 67-74 degrees, and air temperatures 68-82, with clear skies.
