BUENA VISTA BEACH RESORT CHARTER BOATS FISHING
FROM CABO PULMO TO EL CARDONAL

Nov. 12-18, 2004, Axel Valdez, Buena Vista Beach Resort, East Cape fishing, Baja Sur, Mexico:

Total boats out: 26. Fishermen: 78. Weather: Low to High 80's. Water Temperature: 77- 81. Striped marlin 1. Sailfish 7. Dorado 295. Tuna 29. Roosterfish 1. Snapper 2. amberjack 1. Bonita 24. Pompano 2. Skip Jack 12.

Water Temperature: Winter temperature in our East Cape waters, but we still hold some spots in the very low 80's, still the fishing continues to be like during the summer.

Air Temperature: A few days of wind during the weekend, it calmed down later on it, with winds only in the evenings, still the boats that adventure out, came back with really smiling faces, just check the dorado numbers.

East Cape Fishing Spots and Distance: Distance are close to mid-range, with our fleet going from Cabo Pulmo to El Cardonal (up North). When it is most likely to be a windy day, our fleet prefers to go up North to come back with the winds for our guests comfort. In a calm day they would go South, but either way the fishing continues to be really good.

Offshore East Cape Fishing: If we are to do some math, as I always do, you will see that these fishing numbers support what our statistics have shown for many years, winter fishing (average per boat catch) is not that different from our regular season, it is the winds and the cold (at least for us the cold) which really makes the difference, but the fishing continues on, sometimes better than others, like this week, but this happens year round.

Inshore East Cape Fishing: Not many guest going for inshore species, but our guests who are going can still find plenty of action.

Successful Lures: Petrolero continues to overshadow the rest, still our captains prefer to have a full menu out there.

Bait Used: East Cape pangueros are still getting sardinas, mackerel and caballitos, you need to find the guys, but they are around. No change

Highlight of the Week: Summer fishing continues, now the dorado bite was hot, not too big, but that is nice because the releasing helps a lot.
