Baja or Alaska?
There is only a small handful of charter fishing boats
still in the water on the East Cape. Without daily
departures there has not been reports of conditions
off shore.
The beach has been a different story and you almost
have to take a number to get a good fishing spot. The
sea life has been putting on an incredible show with
birds diving and fish in a feeding frenzy driving huge
schools of sardines to the waters edge. Sierra
Mackerel, rooster fish, ladyfish, and jack cravelle have
all been in the mix.
For the entire week I have awakened to voices of
fishermen on the beach. As dawn unfolds fishermen
can be seen lined up almost shoulder to shoulder.
The sight reminds me of fishing for salmon on the
rivers of Alaska. One big difference is not having to
look over your shoulder for bears. The hot spot has
been up and down the coast near Vista Del Mar right
in front of our home.
'The early bird catches the worm' as the beach bite
starts at first light and shuts off as soon as the sun is
above the horizon. Some anglers have been using
rods and reels while others are hand lining. I have
had good luck with a sardine patterned fly but a
chrome 3 inch lure made from a broken car antenna
has been most popular along with Crocodiles and
Rapalas. As full speed as the bite has been the fish
are shying away from lures rigged with wire. The
sharp teeth of the sierra has made it costly but it is
the price that has to be paid for success.
Luis Sylva told me his son has been waking him up
evey morning at 5AM to get to the beach. Luis is a
very talented fisherman and it looks like the kid just
might be a chip off the old block.
