Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL In spite of some wind and rain this week fishing continued on the upswing. The summer mainstay, yellowfin tuna provided plenty of action and had the hotels’ staffs scrambling to find enough wasabi to cover the sashimi action every night at cocktail hour. A few sails and stripes were found to add to the action. Back closer to shore the skipjack and bonito were the mainstay with the roosters and jacks tough to find in the still off-color water. Be sure to pick up a copy of the December issue of Fly Fisherman and check out Dan Blanton’s article on his 4 Best Bet’s for Baja. Of course, Baja on the Fly/East Cape is one of them.

· OFFSHORE: Tuna, by far the front runner this week, plus a few dorado and billfish to fill in the dance card after the tuna action slowed down mid morning.
· INSHORE: At least the skipjack and bonito cooperated. Still waiting for the water to clean up before the roosters and jacks get going again.
· BEACH: Early morning, along the edges of the outflows from the arroyos producing some action for smaller jacks, roosters and several other species including ladyfish and pompano.
BILLFISH – Not exactly a barnburner but enough for the hardcore.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Under the porpoise schools produced the best action with a
few gorillas mixed in. Where’s the 12-weight?
DORADO - Scattered at best with no real concentration.
ROOSTERFISH - As the water cleans up it will begin to pick up.
JACK CREVALLE - Smaller variety under the receivers at La Ribera.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Look along the color break.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – A few found around the rocky points near Punta Colorada..
SIERRA – A few here and there, try the receivers in front of La Ribera.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

YELLOWTAIL – Look for the birds and bait; besides the yellows there are some mystery fish down deeper that refuses to be caught.
CORVINA – In front of the fish camp on the north side of the Entrada produced some good catches early morning and late afternoon on the current rips.
SNOOK – Plenty of smaller ones to be found, still looking for the Grande.
HALIBUT - Find a shallow sandy beach and dredge with a chartreuse Clouser.
SIERRA - Tidal rips with birds diving on them are the best bet.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
Please note the date. We are only providing weekly (not twice a week) reports for this area.
Sat., September 06, 2003, Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (8/31 - 9/5)
IN GENERAL: As expected, recent rains have washed out some debris that has created a few current lines that are holding dorado averaging between 20 and about 28 pounds.
The 82º blue water is still very close to the beach and the offshore fishing could be rated as fair. Sailfish action is steady 1 to 2 fish per day per boat. The blue marlin are still holding at about one fish per day for the 6 to 8 boat fleet going out each day.
The roosterfish action continues to be exceptional, with the several boats targeting them averaging between 5 and 7 fish a day in the 30 - 45 pounds class. Almost all the roosters are being taken on live goggle eyes of about 6” to 10'.
