EAST CAPE FLY FISHING ANGLERS BEATEN UP BY STIFF NORTH WINDS THIS WEEK

Nov. 13, 2004, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, East Cape, Baja California Sur, Mexico Fly Fishing:

North winds beat us up pretty good this week. Fortunately, all our East Cape clients had gone home. Despite the gusty conditions, the guides found a wide open bite at the sticks for ladyfish and hung one Bubba Class rooster that was lost in the surf caused by the wind waves. Guide Josh Dickinson and I headed up to Magdalena Bay on Wednesday.

Water temperature 78-83. Air temperature 69-78. Visibility 15 miles.

OFFSHORE: Still some tuna to be found if you get out. You’ll likely find them under the porpoise schools.

INSHORE: Best bet early morning before the wind lights off.

BEACH: Wind waves and off-color water didn’t prevent Josh Dickinson tying into a quality rooster that got away as he tried to beach it in the suds.

BILLFISH: Not much to talk about this week.

YELLOWFIN TUNA: Under the porpoise, looks for the birds and try to get there early.

DORADO: Strung out from inshore to offshore.

ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE: Plenty of small jacks and a few good sized roosters up and down the beach from Rancho Buena Vista to La Ribera.

BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK: Breezing schools in front of La Ribera.

PARGO AND CABRILLA: Rocky points and pinnacles in front of La Ribera best bet.

SIERRA: Bring wire or lots of flies!
