EAST CAPE BOATS FIND BEST BILLFISH ACTION TO THE NORTH THIS WEEK

Sept. 2-8, 2005, Axel Valdez, Buena Vista Beach Resort, East Cape fishing, Baja Sur, Mexico:

Total boats out 32; Fishermen 104; Weather Low 80's-High 90's; Water Temperature 84-88. Fish count, including released fish: Blue Marlin 6; Striped Marlin 9; Sailfish 24; Dorado 3; Tuna 3; Roosterfish 4; Snapper 5; Jack Crevalle 1; Amberjack 4; Squid 3; Skip Jack 2.

East Cape water temperature continues to be in typical range for this time of year. The best fishing action was toward the north with billfish providing the most consistent action. Very few tuna and dorado this week but there were several of the giant Humboldt squid landed. The few that targeted the inshore found the best action in front of the Lighthouse.

Mackerel and Caballito were all the baits that could be found this week. Once again the sardina were among the missing.
