pleaser for the flyrodders.

Colorada.

+ OFFSHORE: It seems like
every time there is a
tournament at East Cape,
things get weird - weather
great  but the billfish seem
to take a powder. Forty two
boats accounted for only a
dozen released and two that
qualified at the scale, a 386
and 304. Even the big dorado
took a hike with the best for
the event a 44-pound fish.
The big tuna were even a long
way off  40 to 50 miles
out. The big fish for the
event were the 386 pound
blue, 44 pound dorado and 192
pound tuna. Those are pretty
slim pickings for the 44 boat
fleet.
+ INSHORE: Dorado action
continues to please in front
of La Ribera with mostly
smaller fish.
+ BEACH: Plenty to look at,
few takes on the larger
roosters.
BILLFISH Â Only so-so for the
week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA Â Long boat
ride for some fatties.
DORADO Â Still the smaller
variety inside, with a few
bigger fish cruising in open
blue water.
ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE Â
Olive Clousers still the best
bet this week, try Rooster
Alley near the arroyo.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN
SKIPJACK Â A few schools on
the surface between La Ribera
and Punta Colorada.
PARGO AND CABRILLA Â Fair on
the rocky points between La
Ribera and Punta Colorada.
SIERRA Â Hard take, quick run
and no fly, they must still
be here.
