Current Report
IN GENERAL: This week
brought the first tropical
depression Blas to East Cape
which resulted in a few
unsettled days. By this
morning (7/17), cloudless
skies and flat seas greeted
the boats as they headed out.
Blue marlin have begun to
arrive for a big tournament
scheduled for early Aug. Tuna
are at 20 miles, dorado close
to shore, roosters and jacks
cruising the beaches provided
lots of choices for the
flyrodder.

Quarter, July 31, Full, Aug 9
Last Quarter
+ OFFSHORE: As the storm
moved out toward the west,
the fishing steadily regained
its momentum. Not wide open,
but improving every day.
+ INSHORE: Small dorado in
close (less than 3 miles from
shore), a few roosters and
jacks also found feeding on
small schools of sardina.
+ BEACH: Wave action mid
week stirred thing up a tad.
As of yesterday (7/16)
afternoon, wind waves had
subsided, water had cleaned
up and a few roosters and
jacks could be see feeding as
the sun went down.
BILLFISH Â Typical summer
action with enough blues to
keep you on your toes.
YELLOWFIN TUNA Â Seem to be
holding near the 20 mile
mark, mostly football-sized
with a few fatties now and
then.
DORADO Â Good numbers of
smaller fish close to shore,
perfect for the flyrod.
Further outside, some larger
ones can be found under
anything floating.
ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE Â
Just like clockwork in front
of the hotels every afternoon
as the boats discard the left
over sardina. First the
ladyfish and then the jacks
and roosters come a slashing.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN
SKIPJACK Â From the
lighthouse to La Ribera just
a few miles offshore.
PARGO AND CABRILLA Â A few
smaller ones on the rocky
points.
SIERRA Â Not enough to change
to wire.
