Fall Season Begins…Everywhere!
REPORT #1031 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 10/07/06
East Cape
With the baggage requirements changing more often that the price of bait in Baja we thought a link to TSA’s latest update might be helpful.

No storms on the horizon and great weather for the week! Dorado and tuna continued to be the crowd pleasers, though the tuna were a lot more picky than last week.
While plenty of billfish were seen, getting them to bite was a different story. We did hear of one billfish that was hooked on the fly by a woman fishing in the middle of the tuna bite outside of Punta Arena. She hooked it while her husband was getting beat up by a tuna..go figure.
Our guide, Lance Peterson returned this week and of course headed straight for the beach. He reported that he had found good conditions and some smaller roosters and jacks to play with. Also, a decent ladyfish bite filled in the gaps in the action.

Beginning just a few miles off the beach, the dorado were thick this week. And plenty of yellowfin were found just outside Boca de Soledad - five miles. Most of the marlin action reported was down below the Entrada near the pinnacle. Chip on the “Old Reliable” reported good marlin action on the fly with double digit follows every day.
Estero action continued to be on the slow side with very little pressure. Up at Lopez Mateos one angler reported a few small yellows, some fair sized grouper and a few pargo to round out his day.

Boats freshly painted, reels cleaned and oiled, fish arriving, everything is ready…all we need is clients!
The 85° blue water is only a short 7 mile ride out of the harbor. The full moon is hurting the fishing for the sailfish a bit, but overall the sailfish have been decent. The average has been two to three per boat, per day.
With the rain season essentially over, and the inshore waters clearing up, the roosterfish are still the main action. The boats are averaging 4 to 5 roosters a day each.
