OFFSHORE: The Bisbee Black & Blue tournament finished up yesterday with only a few qualifying fish and most under the minimum weight of 300 pounds. The best news was some larger tuna were found under the porpoise below Las Frailes. One toad was brought in last night at Rancho Leonero that weighed over 200 pounds. Not on a flyrod I regret to say. .. INSHORE: Roosterfish, jacks and sierra continue to produce some great action. .. BEACH: Roosterfish strung out all along the beach from RBV to La Ribera. .. QUICK COMMENT - Beach and inshore are still the best bet. I caught several small roosters driving over to the office to write this report. See-through deceivers and a white Clousers with gold eyes worked the best. We were shocked and saddened to learn of the death of longtime Baja resident, concerned environmentalist, angler and fishing reporter Fred Hoctor. Fred was the Baja Beat editor for Western Outdoor News and an excellent outdoor journalist. Death was attributed to a series of heart attacks. Fred will be sorely missed by his family, friends and readers.
