FLY FISHERS FIND DORADO WITHIN SPITTING DISTANCE
OF THE HOTELS AT EAST CAPE

July 31, 2004, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, East Cape fly fishing, Baja Sur, Mexico:

Dorado are thick and within spitting distance of the hotels, roosters and jacks cruising close to shore and ready to rumble . . . plenty of ladyfish and small jacks to put a bend in your 8-weight as well. Some wind in the afternoon that just cools things off a tad.

AIR & SEA - Water temperature 75-88. Air temperature 80-93.

OFFSHORE: Looks like the blues will be around for the tournaments scheduled for the first week of Aug. and if you find the right porpoise school you are in for a tussle with the YFTs.

INSHORE: East Cape mahi action continues to please in front of La Ribera with mostly smaller fish.

BEACH: We are finding plenty of roosters cruising, but they are not very aggressive, still fun to pursue.

DORADO – Still the smaller variety inside with an occasional 15-pounder. Bigger fish cruising in open blue water.

ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE – Olive Clousers continue to work well, try East Cape Rooster Alley.

BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Occasional schools spotted on the surfaceat East Cape, position the boat down swell and start flinging when they get in range.
