Yellowtail were also caught on paddies closer in. Outside, the tuna were caught on the troll and on bait, in very flat water and overcast conditions. McDonell said, "There were fish coming in waves. Very unusual for this time of year. It's more like summer out there."

One shark, caught by Brett Clarke of Huntington Harbour, weighed 109 pounds, and the second, caught by Donald Smith of Great Falls, Mont., weighed 160 pounds. McInally said: “The most life I have seen in years, bait balls, whales, porpoise, mola molas, and threshers. Hard to believe it was March.”

ENSENADA, MEXICO: Werner Hradecky’s boat Scott’s Johnny, skippered by Mike Bratton, had limits of albacore at the 295 bank by 10 a.m. around GPS numbers 31.34 117.22. Hradecky said conditions were phenomenally flat all day.

Three anglers scored on a total of 19 albacore, Susarrey said.

EAST CAPE, MEXICO: Excellent yellowfin tuna catches were made by boats heading south last week. On Sunday, Mark Rayor of the Vista Sea Sport dive service had a wild day on his boat Jen Wren, with his wife Jennifer: “Just the two of us. What a fire drill! Tuna bite wide open, most in the 40 to 60-pound class. I had to jump in the water to get Jen’s first fish off the prop. Later, I caught her in the face with my rod butt! By 11 a.m., we had limits and said uncle. What a day!”

Rayor said sea life sightings at Cabo Pulmo included jumping humpback whales and manta rays, many sea turtles, and schools of huge grouper, and jacks. Cabo Pulmo water was slightly green, with 40 to 50-foot visibility.

He recorded 46 leopard grouper and a barred pargo on one morning, mostly released, and a leopard grouper of 16 pounds on another morning. “When you fish ’em shallow, in tight, that's a different animal!,” Kanzler said. “They fight you all the way to the boat, trying to cut you off on the sharp rocks.”
