[center][size 3][font "Times New Roman"]REPORT #1021. “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996 [/font][/size][/center] [center][size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Endless Season Update 07/29/06[/font][/size][/center] [center][size 3][font "Times New Roman"]East Cape[/font][/size][/center]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]As Emilla approached the tip of Baja early in the week, conditions deteriorated quickly. According to an IM from Mark Rayor of Vista Seasport, a much needed eight of inches of rain on Tuesday was one result. Grumpy seas caused his dive trips to be cancelled but he was still able to send out the “Jen Wren” on a fishing trip. The fishing prior to the storm had been less than stellar with the best action being the tuna 35-40 miles down below Las Frailes. After the storm, off-color water prevailed and most of the action was a few blues, stripes and even one black reported along with a few dorado found further offshore. The tuna bite shut off and so far the school has not been found again. As of this Saturday, the murky water was a memory and all that is left to do is to find where the fish have moved to.

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]While Emilla managed to dump quite a bit of rain in the area, Enrique Soto at Puerto San Carlos reported good fishing at the Entrada which included several large black seabass, one close to 100 lbs. In tight to the beach on the north side of the Entrada there were a few small white seabass in the shallows near the rocks. [/font][/size][/url]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Offshore the remnants of Emilla have caused unsettled conditions. [/font][/size]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]The esteros remained slow yielding with few fish this week. [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]If the Mexican government continues to increase the quotas for sardine, it may be a long time before fishing improves. A group of locals, led by Enrique, are planning to deliver a petition later this week demanding a rollback on the extraordinarily high quotas for sardine that are decimating the bay. [/font][/size]
