EAST CAPE FISHING BOATS FINDING ACTION BETWEEN WINTER WINDS

Dec. 31, 2005, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, East Cape Fly Fishing, Baja California Sur, Mexico:

The north wind played hide and seek most of the week at East Cape. First you see it, then you don’t. This morning is a classically beautiful Baja fishing day to add the finishing touches to 2005. There are still a few larger tuna being caught on the outside along with enough billfish and dorado to keep things interesting.

Along the shore, the sierra and white bonito dominated the catch for the Tin Boat fishing gang. On the non-windy days at gray light a few sierra, ladyfish and even a few smaller roosterfish were the crowd pleasers for fly-flingers prowling the East Cape beaches. Here’s to less wind, more sardina and lots of fish in 2006.

East Cape water temperature 69-73 degrees; Air temperature 68-76; Wind: N 8 m.p.h.; Conditions clear.
