IN GENERAL: While fishing continues to be good for this late in the year, the winds have made it difficult to enjoy. On Wed. (12/22) there was some decent dorado action around the shark buoys near Punta Pescadero. We counted several marlin and one sailfish on one the few boats that ventured out. If you prefer to stay a bit closer to home, the early morning sierra bite at the lighthouse has been great. Any flies with a little blue in them seem to be the hot ticket right now. Everyone is hoping that Santa brings lots of goodies and, as a special gift to East Cape, takes the North wind with him.
This is Tim Stelzer’s first report since returning last week from his summer guiding in Alaska. He will be guiding for Baja on the Fly both at East Cape and Magdalena Bay until late April, we are excited to have him back again this year.

+ OFFSHORE: If you feel lucky, there are still a few billfish around
+ INSHORE: We expect the Sierra this time of year, so bring some wire. The dorado are a nice Christmas present.
+ BEACH: Windy conditions have made it tough. I did hear of several quality roosters landed near the lighthouse earlier in the week.
BILLFISH – Even a sail or two this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Action still down toward Cabo Pulmo and beyond. It’s an ugly ride home if the dreaded North wind cranks up.
DORADO – Shark buoys in front of Punta Pescadero still holding a few.
ROOSTERFISH\JACK CREVALLE – The word “challenging” describes it best.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Still some schools down toward Cabo Pulmo.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Only a few on the rocky points.
SIERRA – Bring wire or lots of blue flies! |
