EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS Sat., Feb. 02, 2002 EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO IN GENERAL: Wind and rain with unusually cold temperatures kept everyone close to home trying to stay dry and warm. Hopefully the coyote, oops, I mean groundhog, won’t see his shadow and the bad weather will be over. Yvonne and I have two more days at the International Sportsman's Exposition (ISE) Show, today and tomorrow. We will be in booth 1430, so stop by and say hello if you are anywhere in the Bay Area. .. OFFSHORE: Pretty tough all week. .. INSHORE: If you can get out, your chances are good for sierra, dorado and small tuna. .. BEACH: There was a rumor of a few yellowtail in front of Palmas de Cortez. AIR & SEA: With a low of 41 night before last everyone is digging through closets looking for heavy jackets. BILLFISH - Pretty dismal. YELLOWFIN TUNA - Fair up at Punta Pescadero. DORADO - Shark buoys the best. ROOSTERFISH - Rough conditions slowed the action down. JACK CREVALLE – Spotty. BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - A few here and there. PARGO AND CABRILLA - Good time to find some shelter from the wind and fish the structure. SIERRA - Best bite in several years when the wind quits.
