Hurrican Dalila No THreat EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Wed., July 25, 2001 TEMPERATURES: High of 93 with a low of 80. Strong winds in the afternoon yesterday (Tues.) STRIPED MARLIN - Fair. YELLOWFIN TUNA - A few down toward Cabo Pulmo and Las Frailes. DORADO - A few being found early morning around the shark buoys. Larger fish are being found in open water. ROOSTERFISH - Good inshore action continues early morning and mid-afternoon in front of Buenavista Beach Hotel and Rancho Leonero. JACK CREVALLE - The bigger fish are seen close to the beach at Punta Arena. BARRILLETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Not much reported this week. PARGO AND CABRILLA - Reef in front of Hotel Rancho Leonero producing fair catches. .. OFFSHORE: A blue here and there. With the Bisbee Black & Blue tournament going on for the next three days, I am sure some will turn up.. .. INSHORE: Roosterfish, jacks and sierra provided the best opportunity this week. .. BEACH: Roosterfish strung out all along the beach from RBV to La Ribera. .. QUICK COMMENT - Yesterday, while working at home on the computer, a couple of fly-fishers stopped by on their way home. They had experienced what I have been saying for the last month. They had very little action offshore and were asking if I knew something they didn't. When I told them how good the action had been close to shore they said, “. . . Oh, sure we know about that, but we got tired of catching roosterfish and jacks and wanted to do something different.” Amazing! This is some of the best inshore fishing I have seen, but they only wanted to fish for something that wasn't biting. I think we will keep fishing for what is biting and let it go at that. Aside from that, Hurricane Dalila is headed out to the west and except for some high clouds and pretty strong wind yesterday afternoon it had little influence on the area.

YELLOWTAIL - Pretty quiet. CORVINA - Still a good bite going on throughout the bay. SNOOK - Devil's Curve and under the bridge at the entrance to town are both producing fair action.
