SOME DORADO AND MARLIN SHOWING UP NEAR PUNTA TOSCA

Aug. 20, 2004, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, San Carlos, Magdalena Bay, Mexico fishing report:

It is that time of year when everyone in the Magdalena Bay fishing area begins to look to the outside for any signs that offer a clue about what kind of action will be seen in the fall. A few Magdalena Bay fishing reports of dorado and striped marlin have begun to crop up. There are reports of a few below Punta Tasco, more 20 miles west of the entrada around the shark buoys.

Small yellows, a few decent-sized groupers provided fair Magdalena Bay fishing action earlier this week.

Corvina continue to dominate the estero scene with a few pompano, pargo, leopard grouper and only a few smaller snook.

Water Temperature 67-78. Air Temperature 75-84. Humidity 23%. Wind West 17 mph. Conditions Scattered clouds. Visibility 3 miles.

YELLOWTAIL – Can be found breezing under the bird schools or hanging around the pinnacles at the entrada.

CORVINA – Pier, bridge at the entrance to San Carlos or Devils Curve all producing some action.

SNOOK – Just a few smaller variety.

HALIBUT – Cruise the shallows near a sandy beach with your Polaroid’s and you can sight cast to the flat rascals.

SIERRA – Only a rumor or an excuse for every fly lost.
