CORVINA COUNTS GOOD FOR ANGLERS FISHING AT PUERTO LOPEZ MATEOS

June 4, 2005, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, Magdalena Bay, Mexico Fishing Report:

There is still some wind to contend with this week that kept most of the anglers close to the beach in the Magdalena Bay sportfishing area. The corvina bite lit up at Lopez Mateos with double digit catches the norm. A few snook were hooked and lost after they scurried back into the mangrove stumps. A few snapper were caught in the Magdalena Bay mangrove channels at Devil’s Curve. Offshore of Magdalena Bay, the tuna seemed to be in the 20 mile range and outside of Puerto Lopez Mateos the dorado continued to put on a show only a few miles from shore. Everybody is just waiting for the water to warm up a few degrees and the exotics should kick in nicely. We will be fishing with clients for the next few days out of Puerto Lopez Mateos and will have a first hand report next week.

Magdalena Bay water temperatures were 62-71 degrees, air temperatures were 66-73, with scattered clouds.
