No Cameras, Please EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Wed., July 04, 2001 TEMPERATURES: High of 90 with a low of 77. It’s been cloudy and windy until today. STRIPED MARLIN - Slowed down since the last report. YELLOWFIN TUNA - A few down at Cabo Pulmo and outside of Las Friales. DORADO - Las Cruces has been the hot spot for the last week. ROOSTERFISH - Good inshore, but poor from the beach. JACK CREVALLE - Some smaller fish close to Rancho Buena Vista. BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Plenty in front of La Ribera. PARGO AND CABRILLA – Cold, green, dirty water continues to slow the action down at Punta Colorada. .. OFFSHORE: Fair marlin show off of Punta Colorada. .. INSHORE: Lots of roosters in front of Buena Vista Beach Hotel and Rancho Leonero. .. BEACH: A few small jacks, roosters and pompano was about it for the week. .. QUICK COMMENT - With dorado a long way off and the marlin bite inconsistent, inshore waters have been getting the most attention this week. Small roosterfish to 15 pounds are in front of both hotels early morning and mid-afternoon when the boats return. See-through deceivers and chartreuse Clousers have produced fair action for the fly-rodders. Larry and Margo Kenny, Umpqua, Oregon, (Saltwater Fly Fishing Magazine) had a frustrating few days as the off-color water slowed down the action on the beach. It never fails when a writer shows up with camera in hand the fish go hide! On their last day, they went out on the pontoon and had roosters crashing all around them, but it was hard to get them to take the artificial over the all the sardinia in the water. The sierra and pargo were more accommodating, taking chartreuse deceivers and a white Baja Deep Diver. http://www.bajafly.com/weeklycatch.htm MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Wednesday, July 04, 2001 Temperatures: 82-degree high; low in the mid 69.
