EAST CAPE FLY FISHING SEASON IS WINDING DOWN

Nov. 14-20, 2004, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, East Cape fly fishing, Baja California Sur, Mexico:

When we returned from Magdalena Bay on Tuesday the North winds were still around East Cape. This weekend however, is beautiful and expected to stay that way through Tuesday. Still a few left over tuna and dorado offshore and inshore the skipjack, roosters and jacksj seem to be the best bet. With the nice East Cape weather I would expect to see a few smiling faces in the bar tonight even though the season is pretty much over.

East Cape Water temperature 75-80. Air temperature 71-77.

OFFSHORE: Tuna and dorado best bet.

INSHORE: Get out early in case the wind blows.

BEACH: Sticks to La Ribera the best bet for jacks and a few roosters.

BILLFISH – Only a few stragglers.

YELLOWFIN TUNA – Porpoise and birds will be the best clue.

DORADO – Look under anything floating.

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!
