EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS Sat., Feb. 09, 2002 EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO IN GENERAL: The weather has cleared up as far as the cloudy skies, but the wind is still a problem. It has been very windy the last few days. The wind has been less in the morning, but is kicking by about 10. The temps have risen slightly to 59 - 73. .. OFFSHORE: Several boats did make it out including one of our clients, Wister Smith, from Scottsboro, Ala., who caught a rooster and sierra before the wind came rolling in by mid-morning. A couple of other boats fishing up toward Punta Pescadero did pretty well catching a handful of dorado .. INSHORE: A few dorado and sierra and roosterfish closer to shore. .. BEACH: Wind waves continue to hamper fishing from the beach. AIR & SEA: Finally, a few warmer days. BILLFISH - No one targeted them this week. YELLOWFIN TUNA - Slow. DORADO - Not bad for February if the wind backs off. ROOSTERFISH - They are still here. JACK CREVALLE - Wait till the wind quits. BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Not targeted this week. PARGO AND CABRILLA - Structure not a bad bet. With all the wind, find a sheltered point up toward Punta Pescadero and try one of your favorite poppers or Clouser. SIERRA - Still the best action at East Cape. Catch of the Week Photo: http://www.bajafly.com/weeklycatch.html MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Sat., Feb. 09, 2002 ..
