SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER, SIERRA GREAT FLY FISHING ANGLERS AT EAST CAPE

Dec. 24, 2005, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, East Cape, Baja California, Mexico Fly Fishing:

East Cape's summer-like weather last weekend pleased the few visitors looking for a fish fix before Santa showed up. There are billfish up off of Punta Pescadero, and now that the visitors have dwindled down to a trickle, the dorado have decided to bite. Closer to shore, the Tin Boat guys at East Cape were catching plenty of sierra, some of which will probably end up in ceviche to be served on Christmas Day. Sporadic north winds during the week helped remind the locals that it is December after all and Santa’s arrival is just around the corner. East Cape water temperature 79-84 degrees; Air temperature 68-77 degrees; Wind NNW 8 m.p.h.; Conditions clear.
