WHALE REPORTED CAUGHT BY FISHING NET AT EAST CAPE

Feb. 18, 2005, Jorge Bergin, La Ribera, Baja California Sur, Mexico Fishing Report:

Two guys in yellow rain slicks in a panga with numbers only, probably working out of the camp at Punta Arena, caught a whale yesterday in their net. The net mesh was about 2 inch. They're back at it today running the net north from a spot 800 meters north the boat launching beach here in La Ribera.

The whale in the net must have died, drifted 17 miles northeast of the lighthouse and now every mother's son is out there taking dorado (mahi-mahi). Sea is flat for a change.
