A Hint of Warmer Weather EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Sat., March 10, 2001 TEMPERATURES: High of 82 with a low of 46. STRIPED MARLIN - Not much action. YELLOWFIN TUNA - A few up toward Muertos Bay. DORADO - A few dorado throughout the bay. ROOSTERFISH - Windy conditions slowed the action this week. JACK CREVALLE - Quite a few up toward Coral Beach. BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Few caught. PARGO AND CABRILLA - Fair near shore at Punta Colorada. .. OFFSHORE: Few boats out this week and no real concentration of fish found. .. INSHORE: Bonito, jacks and sierra near Punta Pescadero produced fair action. .. BEACH: Good catches of jacks late in the day near Coral Beach. .. QUICK COMMENT - With few boats looking and lots of cold, green water, the offshore is disappointing. Inshore, however is still producing fair catches of sierra, jacks and bonito. Thurs., with a strong wind out of the north, our guides went scouting up toward Punta Pescadero for some action and they found several large schools of jacks to five pounds that gave them a workout for the better part of an hour. Fri., (3/9) they took several clients with them and the schools were not to be found. That must be why they call it fishing instead of catching. While early morning temperatures continue to be cold, the daytime temperatures are beginning to creep up. Yesterday was the first day in several weeks that I could wear shorts comfortably. Magdalena Bay Update MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Sat., March 10, 2001 Temperatures: 74-degree high; low 58. TUNA - Not fished this week. YELLOWTAIL – The entrada (entrance) is still the best bet. CORVINA - Pretty quiet with few fishing this week. SNOOK - Slow going this week with only a few anglers out. HALIBUT - Continues to be a good bet for the fly rodder. .. QUICK COMMENT - With most of the attention directed at the great whale watching available in the bay, few are doing much fishing. This week did produce jacks, bay bass and a few pompano.
