EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO IN GENERAL: The winds, which we thought were pretty much finished, jumped up again Sun. and Mon. Yesterday (3/5) they quit. There has been a fair showing of marlin with a few dorado mixed in. Also the giant squid have begun to show up offshore and, yes, they will bite a fly. Inshore has been tough because of the wind and the beach was not fishable until yesterday. Sierra, jacks and a few yellowtail in front of La Ribera provided the best action inshore. I will be attending the Fred Hall Fishing Tackle and Boat Show in Long Beach. I'll be in Buenavista Beach Resort Hotel's booth on Thurs. (3/7) and Hotel Rancho Leonero's booth on Fri. Stop by and checkout some of our new flies or chat. AIR & SEA: Sunny Hi 83° Lo 61° Wind: N /6 mph Humidity: 60% Dewpoint: 54° Visibility: 15 Sea Temps: 67.5 - 73 degrees. . OFFSHORE: From Punta Arena to Las Frailes 10 to 20 miles off is providing the best action for marlin, dorado and giant squid. . INSHORE: Good action for sierra, jacks, pargo, cabrilla and a few quality yellowtail down deep at La Ribera . BEACH: Find the sardina and you will probably find the sierra early morning and jacks until mid-morning. Rock structure still providing good action for pargo and cabrilla. BILLFISH - They found a fair marlin bite mostly on bait with a few on lures still not enough volume for the fly. YELLOWFIN TUNA - Lots of footballs outside of Punta Arena. . DORADO -The few reported were among the fleet off of Las Frailes. There are still a fair number of smaller fish spread out Las Palmas Bay. ROOSTERFISH - A few smaller fish mixed in with the schools of jacks. JACK CREVALLE - Mostly smaller fish, every once in a while the larger ones show up slamming into a school of sardinia trapped against the shore. BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Mostly bonito. PARGO AND CABRILLA - Most of the rocky points are holding schools of small to medium sized fish SIERRA - Don't forget the wire bite tippet! Watch for the bait schools close to shore.
