[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]IN GENERAL: With fewer guests at the hotels this week, fishing pressure was[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the lightest it has been all month. Like last week, the larger tuna are[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]creating the most excitement. Unfortunately, the tuna are still spread out[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]from Punta Pescadero to Las Frailes and it can be hit or miss. Dorado are[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]providing fair action both for the larger single fish cruising and a number[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]of schoolies under anything floating. By mid-morning it is interesting how[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]many of the boats that started out offshore, end up back inshore trying to[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]save their day. Sooo, again the inshore should provide the fly-rodder the[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]best choices.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]AIR & SEA - Here we are at the end of Sept. and the weather has remained[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]good for the entire month here at East Cape – and where were you?[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Temperature 90° F / 77° F[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Humidity 78%[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Water Temps in the upper 80's offshore[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]· OFFSHORE: Big tuna or sailfish . . . take your pick, just remember, for[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the tuna you better be there early or you will miss out. The sailfish are[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]putting on the best show this year and if you want to add a sailfish to your[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]species list or just have some fun, this is a good time to target billfish.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]· INSHORE: A few football-size tuna, a few dorado and a few larger[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]roosterfish are[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]showing within a mile of the beach.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]· BEACH: Hit the beach before sunup in front of your hotel and you won’t[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]be[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]disappointed. In the afternoon, it’s the same deal – usually just as the sun[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]drops[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]behind the mountain is the best.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]BILLFISH - This week accounted for the highest number of sailfish caught and[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]released[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]I can remember this summer with fewer people fishing.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]YELLOWFIN TUNA - Most of the fish are being found under the porpoise and can[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]be anywhere from 10 to 35 miles. A few of them exceeded 100 pounds and one[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]whopper weighed in at 209. Take my advice: if you see any tuna that size,[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]keep your flyrod in the rod tube.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]DORADO - The singles have provided the best action for the alert fly-rodder.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Be prepared, rod rigged, line stripped off and ready to cast. Many times a[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]few sardina tossed for chum and the dorado will be in casting distance.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]ROOSTERFISH - The midday sight-casting has been both exciting and[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]frustrating[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]with plenty of shots and only a few takes.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]JACK CREVALLE - A slow retrieve beneath the sardina schools has produced a[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]few quality fish. Use a Baja Deep Diver in chartreuse. See the Baja Deep[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - A few schools from La Ribera to Punta Arena.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]PARGO AND CABRILLA - Rocky points will be your best shot.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Bank holding dorado, wahoo and tuna. The locals at Magdalena Bay are seeing[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]a few marlin closer to the entrada on a 220-230 degree heading 20 to 30[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]miles out. One report indicated a pretty good show right on the Thetis. Back[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]at the entrada, a few yellows were caught down deep and down at Boca Flor de[/font][/size]
