Sierras Snap...Who Dat Prevails

Endless Season Update February 7, 2010
REPORT #1201 "Below the Border" Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape

Sierra…it's all about teeth.
Very little offshore action this week. Even the tin boat fleet remained on the beach except for the few with raincoats.
There were some rumors of a good yellowtail bite at the drop off at La Ribera and the reef in front of Rancho Leonero.
Believe it or not the roosters and jacks are still around and biting both lures and flies. I heard of at least one rooster landed that hit the fifteen-pound mark. But the fish of the week seemed to be the sierra. They provided the best beach action mostly early in the morning.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
The scheduled annual Governor's tournament was cancelled this week due to the poor weather conditions. It will be rescheduled in March. Aside from some snapper action in the Esteros, it has been a quiet week.

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
Earlier in the week the action had really picked up with Margarito on the Gaby getting five sailfish and Cheva on the panga, Dos Hermanos II, releasing eight sails. They got their fish about four to seven miles in front of the White Rocks. Plus, Adan on the panga, Gitana II, went up north near the river bar at Union, getting three roosters and a sailfish on the way back.

Then things went bad on us. On Tuesday morning we woke up to a very freak storm of lightning, thunder and rain. We got about 4" between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., with a total for the day of 8"... then another 2" last night plus an inch today. Incredible.

The weather is predicted to be fine tomorrow so we are all going out. We all have clients wanting to get out of their hotel rooms. We'll soon find out how the rains affected the fishing.....…Ed Kunze
