[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: If you want to fish the East Cape right now, it is basically an[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]early- to mid-morning proposition. Plenty of sierra inshore, while on the[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]outside it’s dorado and a few marlin. North, up toward Punta Pescadero, is[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the best bet for the dorado and further offshore for the few billfish[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]around. Closer to shore, the sierra are providing the best action.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Following Gary’s new Power Point presentation to the Diablo Fly Fishing Club[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]in Walnut Creek, Calif., on Tues. (1/14) night, a longtime club member told[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]him it was “the best presentation we have had in the last 20 years.” Mighty[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]high praise, indeed! It’s cutting edge A/V technology and a far, far cry[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]from those old clunky 35mm slide presentations so common at fishing clubs[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]and outdoor shows. Gary will be doing his Power Point extravaganza at the[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]· OFFSHORE: Right place, right time and you could be wired up to a good[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]sized dorado. Try under the shark buoys at Punta Pescadero.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]· INSHORE: Sierra, by far are the best bet right now. Still some quality[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]· BEACH: The earlier the better![/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]BILLFISH - Tough going right now.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]YELLOWFIN TUNA - A few down south, but what a crummy ride home.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]DORADO - Punta Pescadero shark buoys are the best bet and it is a better[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]ride home if the wind comes up. Also some reported up further at Muertos Bay[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]and you even get a little protection from the wind.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]ROOSTERFISH - Bait and birds mean roosters chasing bait.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]JACK CREVALLE - Same deal for the jacks.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]IN GENERAL: The big news was the whales began arriving in big numbers to the[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]north at Scammon’s Lagoon, so it won't be long before they will be cavorting[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]here in Magdalena Bay. The esteros were lightly fished this week, but with[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]good results for corvina, mangrove snapper and a few palometa amarillo.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Quarter Feb. 9[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]YELLOWTAIL - Best bet is down deep at the entrada.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]CORVINA - Continued to be almost a sure thing. Chartreuse and flash is the[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]right[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]combination either in a Clouser, Baja Deep Diver or Deceiver-style pattern.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]SNOOK - fewer currents on a quarter moon improved everyone's chances. Use a[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]retrieve and let the current sweep a Baja Deep Diver in either red or[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]chartreuse into the channel and hang on.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]HALIBUT - Sandy beaches the best bet.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]SIERRA - Birds and bait in the open water almost guarantees a take.[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]IN GENERAL: The 78º blue water is still on the beach, the seas are calm, and[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]the fishing is holding an incredible pace. Even though the boats are getting[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]two to five sailfish per day, the main action is with the 20- to 35-pound[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]dorado. Steve Talbot, escaping from Minnesota snow, had a typical couple of[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]days on the water. The first day he went with Captain Arturo on the panga[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Janeth. They got three roosterfish from 35- to 50-pounds. They also got an[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]estimated 25-pound jack crevalle. On the way back, Arturo worked[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]a current line and they got five of the 20-to 35-pound dorado. They next day[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]they fished on the Gaby with Captain Margarito. They got two sails and seven[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]The tuna are averaging about 60- to 80-pounds with some running into the[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]200-pound category. With the dorado only 6 miles out, not many charters are[/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]going after the tuna.[/font][/size]
