SALTWATER - EAST CAPE/BAJA
Updated:
May 5, 2008
Excellent wide open fishing all this week. Striped marlin, sailfish and dorado are all biting aggressively. There have been as many as eight
billfish on one boat, released in one day! Anglers are guaranteed at least one billfish per boat per day. There are tailers and jumpers everywhere, really exceptional fishing. The billfish are
concentrated from Punta Colorado north to the 88. There is warmer water north holding more Dorado, mixed with the billfish. Anglers are taking some real quality mahi mahi in the 20 to 40 pound
range. There are lots of roosterfish around in the five to ten pound class, with better fishing north in the warmer water. Very light pressure, as most anglers targeting the billfish and dorado.
The water temperatures are a little cooler than last week, but it hasn't hurt the fishing.
Billfish - There is more striped marlin than sailfish, about every fourth billfish a sail. It is very visual fishing, with lots and lots of jumpers and tailers. Most fish being taken on
live mackerel. Most boats are releasing three or four a day! The billfish are two to ten miles off the beach; very spread out all the way north to Muertos Bay.
Dorado - One or two per boat daily. Quality fish in the 20 to 40 pound class. About half and half taken on lures and bait. The dorado are mixed with the billfish, with a better fishing north in
the warmer water.
Inshore- Lots of gallos, especially north in the warmer water. Almost no fishing pressure, anglers that are going for the roosters are enjoying wide open fishing, until the bait runs out, as many as
thirty or forty fish released daily, in the ten pound class. All on live sardine and mackerel, they are also biting flies aggressively.
