MORE MARLIN AND SUMMER FISHING CONDITIONS ARRIVING
THIS WEEK AT BAJA'S EAST CAPE VACATION AREA

Summer has definitely arrived in the East Cape vacation area, with temperatures climbing above the 90-degree mark. Best yet is more marlin this week to keep the clients happy.

Dick Haas, manager of Adventure Outfitters, Louisville, fished the entire week. The day he arrived he announced that his goal was to break the century mark on his all-time species list. He was at 95 and looking for five more. He wasn't disappointed and by the week’s end he had added nine more to his list including two marlin. Can't get much better; the first marlin he had ever cast a fly to gobbled it up like a kid eating cotton candy at a County Fair. Don't get me wrong, he did have a couple of tough days chasing Bubba on the beach. Enough shots at Bubba and jacks to leave him shaking his head in dismay. So, clever marketers that we are, we held back two more species to assure he comes back next year in search of Bubba and Charley, as in tuna. Was it a good fishing week at East Cape? Not bad considering the sardina is still among the missing. It was way ahead of going to the office.

East Cape water temperature 70-82. Air temperature 75-91. Wind calm.
