| Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

REPORT #1071 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update July 14, 2007
East Cape
Inshore fishing still seems to be the best bet for the fly rodder providing consistent action for jacks and roosterfish close to the beach.
For the beach walkers, though, it seems to be more walking and less casting. Even the ‘go to’ ladyfish have been tougher to find recently. The lucky anglers are getting some shots at nice sized jacks and roosters ranging from a few pounds to Bubba sized.
Offshore, there are plenty of striped marlin around to look at but it’s tough to find the hungry ones. They just haven’t turned on yet.
Tuna action has been producing limits of football sized fish the run has been beyond thirty-five miles and the risk is if you are not one of the early boats there you can miss the bite entirely.
Dorado fishing continues to be hit or miss with most of fish caught showing up behind the teasers.

As the water continues to warm, more dorado are being spotted near the shark buoys twenty miles west of the Entrada. There were a few schools of yellowfin tuna found outside of Boca de Soledad with quite a few skippies mixed in. The occasional billfish can be spotted tailing down swell in the afternoons.
The Entrada continues to produce good catches of yellowtail and bonita chasing the breezing sardines.
While the snook action has diminished this week, the leopard grouper filled the gap with a few better sized ones up to twenty pounds. Corvina action provided the best surface action up above Lopez Mateos where they could be found feeding on balls of sardines near the surface.

The fishing has slowed a bit this week. We have had some unsettled weather, with the barometer bouncing around like a yoyo. We only had one day of rain (Thursday), but we got over two inches between 8AM and 10AM.
The fleet is averaging only 1 or 2 sailfish a day average. However, the 10 to 15 pound yellowfin are between 15 and 20 miles off the beach and are providing very good action for the light line angler.
The clear and clean water is just two miles off the beach, and the inshore action is doing well. The roosterfish action is good, and there are lots of mid-sized jack crevalle between 12 and 16 pounds. The jacks are giving the fly rodders a great day on the water.
