Current Report
IN GENERAL: There are fish
everywhere! That was the
greeting I received when I
walked out on the pier at
Buenavista Beach Resort on
Fri. afternoon. Judging from
the number of flags flying
from the outriggers, the
fishing and the weather have
definitely heated up from
last week. Lots of football
sized tuna and dorado a few
miles in front of the hotels.
All the fish are close enough
for the kayakers to get in on
the action. Out a few miles
further, the sailfish were
ready to play in numbers that
justified packing the 12-
weight and a few Billfish
Babies. From the beach,
olive Clousers for the first
hour and a half after gray
light had few refusals. The
bite was solid for various
jacks, lookdowns and pompano
while I watched the clients
board the boats and the
kayakers load and launch
their rigs equipped with
everything from bait tanks to
depth sounders.
Due to a massive letter
writing campaign, (link
included), Mexican officials
are holding off long lining
to examine effects on the
fragile sea.

First Quarter; August 29,
Full; Sept. 6 Last Quarter.
+ OFFSHORE: So many sails
that the guys looking for the
blue dogs considered them
pests. More blue bites than
catches by far.
+ INSHORE: Hard to
distinguish the offshore from
inshore with all the dorado
and tuna being caught at the
high spot in front of La
Ribera.
+ BEACH: Hard to pick the
right fly with so much
variety, pargo, triple tail,
jacks and I almost
forgot . . . BIG roosters.
BILLFISH Â Heated up nicely
this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA Â Plenty and
close.
DORADO Â More tuna than
dorado, but enough to keep it
interesting.
ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE Â
Olive Clousers worked for
most.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN
SKIPJACK Â There are a few
schools on the surface
between La Ribera and Punta
Colorada with most of them
weighing in at 10+ lbs.
PARGO AND CABRILLA Â Even
found a few on sandy beaches
with zip cover.
SIERRA Â Sardina took a hike
this week so not much surface
action which is where the
Sierra usually show.
