Current Report
IN GENERAL: With tropical
storms swirling out to the
west several hundred miles to
the south, the dorado and
tuna just kept on coming.
Both are spread up and down
the coast close enough to
allow for a second cup of
coffee before heading out. It
is that time of year when
part of the locals morning
routine is to check their
favorite internet weather
site to make sure everything
is copasetic. There was a
little rain and some wind in
the PM, but not enough to put
a damper on the continuing
tuna/dorado snap.
AIR & SEA -
Water temperature 81-88
Air temperature 82-94
Humidity about 71%
Wind: SSE 6 mph
Conditions: T Storms
Visibility 10 miles
Sunrise 6:59 a.m. MDT

August 29, Full; Sept. 6 Last
Quarter; Sep. 14 New; Sept.
21, First Quarter
+ OFFSHORE: Mid-morning after
a romp with the tuna and
dorado, you can produce some
exciting action for sails.
+ INSHORE: The only thing
that has changed this week is
that the tuna and dorado are
a bit fatter. Still close to
shore and spread out enough
to give the flyrodder a
chance.
+ BEACH: Lots of variety this
week: jacks, lookdowns,
ladyfish, pompano and small
roosters with an occasional
Bubba showing up
BILLFISH Â Nothing like what
looks like a jailbreak of
sails chasing every teaser
behind the boat to have
anglers bumping into each
other trying to get to their
12-weight.
YELLOWFIN TUNA Â Fatter fish
this week, with lots of 10-
weight candidates and a few
12-weights as well.
DORADO Â Same deal with the
dorado, bigger; someone must
be spiking the sardina.
ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE Â
Olive Clousers are working
for us with a slow, abrupt,
retrieve.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN
SKIPJACK Â Plenty of schools
feeding on the surface from
Rancho Leonero to Punta
Colorada.
PARGO AND CABRILLA Â Look for
the dark shadows on open sand
beaches. Bounce that Clouser
along the bottom and you may
get lucky.
SIERRA Â Pretty far down on
the target list right now.
