STRIPED MARLIN - A good spread of fish, but still not very aggressive. YELLOWFIN TUNA - Fair catches at the both ends of the bay, but not a consistent bite. DORADO - From 10 to 20 miles off of Punta Pescadero producing some of the larger variety, up to 50 pounds. However, they’re still not grouped up. ROOSTERFISH - La Ribera was the hot spot this week. There were also plenty of singles seen feeding on mullet along rooster alley. JACK CREVALLE - Good catches continue from both the pontoon boat and the shore with La Ribera being the best bet.

Most of the dorado are of the larger variety with a few smaller ones found around some of the shark buoys. Few sailfish and blues, but plenty of stripers seen every day. .. INSHORE: Close to shore from Rancho Buena Vista to La Ribera producing good jack and rooster fishing. .. BEACH: It just can't get much better than La Ribera was this week with lots of jacks, roosters, ladyfish and even a few halibut caught this week. .. QUICK COMMENT - Mike Duckworth, Orange, Calif., fishing with two friends, had a great day chasing roosters and jacks in front of La Ribera on a beach trip yesterday. Meanwhile, my friend Don Sloan and I spent the early morning fishing the same beach and had six different species including roosters and jacks to 15 pounds. One of my new see-through deep divers in gray and white with grizzly hackle was the hot fly. Stripped very slowly, it produced two back-to-back jacks that wanted to rumble. The second one had all my backing except for seven or eight wraps on the spool. He finally turned and I had my photograph after a 30 minute battle.

SNOOK - Mario's spot holding a few fish. HALIBUT - None reported .. QUICK COMMENT - After several weeks of the olive Clousers being the fly of choice, we are back to using the chartreuse and white Clousers that has been so productive in the past. Jim Nesmick, Napa, Calif., found out how tough our Magdalena Bay snook can be when a monster inhaled his chartreuse and white Clouser and headed down the estero. After a brief tug of war, the fish showed who was boss when he dove under a mangrove root and cut the 20 pound tippet.
