PLENTY OF DORADO SCORED BY OFFSHORE BOATS

Sept. 3, 2005, Gary Graham, Baja On The Fly, Magdalena Bay, Mexico Fly Fishing Report:

Magdalena Bay fishing reports vary. The esteros surrounding the Puerto San Carlos area are still producing little, while in fishing above Lopez Mateos, corvina, grouper and snapper continue to provide fair to good action.

In fishing offshore of Magdalena Bay, the Thetis Bank is holding plenty of dorado and it seems like there are more marlin sightings each week. On a straight line toward the Magdalena Bay entrada about 15 miles from the entrance, dorado and a few marlin can be found around the shark buoys.

Fishing closer to shore, toward Lopez Mateos, football-sized tuna and dorado have been providing the best action.

Magdalena Bay water temperature is 70-80; Air temperature 74-80; Conditions clear.
