Cabo San Lucas - August 4th, 2008
supplied by: Fly Hooker Sportfishing RECORDED:96 °FISHING: Great FLY HOOKER SPORTFISHING
Captain George Landrumgmlandrum@hotmail.comwww.flyhooker.comCabo Fish ReportJuly 28-August 3, 2008 WEATHER There was no change in our weather this week, still 90 degrees or more in the daytime and in the mid 80’s at night. We had some rain on Saturday night-Sunday morning as a nice section of clouds moved over us coming in from the south. We had around ½ inch of rain with thunder and lightning around 2 am. The rest of the week was partly cloudy to sunny with no real weather in the area. We just went through the new moon phase.WATER: Surface conditions this week were great on both sides of the Cape. On the Pacific side the swells were at 2-5 feet with light winds in the morning at 5 knots and picking up later in the afternoon to 10 knots most days. Surface temperature began the week on the Pacific side at a warm 83-85 degrees but at the end of the week it had cooled to 82-80 degrees, probably due to the cloud cover later in the week. On the Cortez side the swells were at 1-3 feet with almost no wind effect early in the morning early in the week. Later in the week the wind did pick up a bit from the north and there were a couple of choppy afternoons, but nothing uncomfortable. The surface temperature early in the week was a warm 86-88 degrees but at the end of the week had cooled to 84-82 degrees.BAIT: Caballito were the bait of the week with a few Mullet in the mix. The price on these larger baits was $3 per bait. For inshore fishing Sardinas were available at $25 a scoop from the bait boats around the Palmilla area.FISHING: BILLFISH: Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin and Sailfish have all been giving our anglers a good time this week, and the boats did not have to go very far to get into some action. The bite as been within a 100 degree arc from the arch, from off of Gray Rock to the lighthouse on the Pacific side at a distance of between 3 and 15 miles. Most of the Blue Marlin have been picked up farther out while the Striped Marlin have been closer to shore. The Sailfish have been closer in on average as well. There have been a lot more fish seen than have been hooked up however, as most of the Striped Marlin showed a definite “not interested attitude. While slow trolling live bait was a great way to get hooked up to the Sailfish and Striped Marlin, most of the Blues seemed to be more interested in lures, perhaps the higher speed got them excited. For the Striped Marlin and Sailfish, Caballito worked fairly well, but it seemed that better results were had by slow trolling small 15” Bonita. There were plenty of these baits to be had close to the beach and you could fill your tubes pretty quickly using small feathers and hootchies.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This was another week where I did not hear of or see any boats bring in any decent sized Tuna. A few small football fish were caught and I did hear of a couple of fish in the 30-40 pound class but there was no consistent action on Tuna this week.
DORADO The warm water has started to set off the Dorado bite and almost every boat was able to get at least one of these great fish, and a few boats were able to get four of five. Most of the fish averaged 15 pounds with a few in the 10-pound range and a few in the 30-pound range. Slow trolled live bait worked well on the larger fish and the smaller ones fell for fast moving lures. Most of the action took place within 5 miles of the beach on the Pacific side of the Cape.
WAHOO: I heard of a few Wahoo bites this week but did not hear of any being brought in. The new moon may have had a strong effect on the Wahoo bite. INSHORE: There was almost no change in the inshore action this week compared to last week. With the calm water this week most of the Pangas were working just off the beach for Sailfish and Striped Marlin as well as Dorado. Those boats working the beach did fair on Roosterfish on the Cortez side.
NOTES: I shot my best golf game ever this week, a 92! . My granite guy promised our new counters will be here this coming Tuesday, yay!! My buddy Tony Nungary has his boat “Tony’s Machine” up and running and is now booking charters. If you want to fish with a two-time Bisbee winner, who is really on top of his game, give us a call and we will see if we can set you up! He did very well this past week, fishing four days and releasing several Blues, Stripes and Sailfish as well as getting some nice Dorado for the table. Until next week, tight lines!
Zihuatanejo - April 27th, 2008
supplied by: The Patient Angler RECORDED:86 °FISHING: Fair
Just got back from another great week at Boca de Iguanas on main land Mexico, just down the beach from the little town of La Manzanilla. Went down with some customers and friends to catch some sun, do a little saltwater fly-fishing and to take a look at the properties offered by this new eco-hotel/resort and real estate development. The weather was great with temps in the 80’s, and a cool ocean breeze every day.
Unfortunately, the water conditions were not the best when we arrived, hitting the last few days of a red tide that moved into the Costalegre area the prior week. Which forced us to have to enjoy all the amenities the resort had to offer for a couple of days while we waited for the water to clear. Breakfast on the beach, beach combing, pool time, a mouth-watering cevichi lunch, a few games of horseshoes, quick game of soccer, more pool time with a cool drink, sea kayaks, rock climbing, get a massage, happy hour with friends on the beach, a delightful elegant dinner served on the rooftop patio overlooking the ocean at sunset, music and a bon-fire on the beach at night. I was looking forward to the water clearing, so we might have something fun to do. Yeah Right!
The water finally started to clear and the baitfish started to come back into the bay, which leads to good fishing since the bigger fish will soon follow the bait. We decided to give the inshore one more day to recover and headed out off shore in search of blue water where we hoped to find some Sailfish, Dorado or Tuna to chase, but we went out 24 miles and found the water to still be a little on the green side (a little cold for off shore game fish on the fly). We came across a few Dorado during our day, but none that wanted to play at the end of our lines. The inshore is where we spent the rest of out time at Boca, fishing from a boat and off the beach. Our fishing improved and we saw a few Yellow Tail, schools of Giant Needle Fish and a lot of small sized Jacks. The Jack Crevalle or Toro as they call it in Mexico for the way it fights, provided us with the most action. We caught lots of small ones and a few bigger ones to make each day, but given the colder water conditions I thought we did pretty well. I’m looking forward to getting back down to Boca de Iguanas not only to fish with better water conditions, but to also enjoy this beautiful resort community and it’s staff again.

East Cape - November 3rd, 2007
supplied by: Baja on the Fly RECORDED:85 °FISHING: Greatmaps
Thanks to all of you who emailed me last week to remind me that the time changes this week in the U.S. However, this is a “Below the Border” report and the time changed in Baja last Sunday morning. Sam and Janet Farish, Atlanta, GA, enjoyed a week of great weather and fishing this week with double-digit roosters, sierra and ladyfish inshore. Offshore it was dorado and yellowfin tuna rounding off a great week of East Cape fishing. Then they headed up to Lopez Mateos in Magdalena Bay to sample the even hotter offshore action.

Magdalena Bay - November 3rd, 2007
supplied by: Baja on the Fly RECORDED:88 °FISHING: Excellent Early November and the fishing is easy…offshore. Sam and Janet Farish on their first day headed out on the “Mar Gato” with Captain Sergio and our guide Lance Peterson.
Their day started quick! In the first ten minutes they were both tight to fifty pound wahoo. Today they headed out for hopefully more of the same action on the Thetis before sliding down to the anchorage at Santa Maria Bay to spend the night. Billfish action from the Entrada to below Pta. Tosca could only be classified as “wide-open”. Bird school after bird school in every direction you looked but even as you slid on the spot you could never be sure what might be there. Marlin, tuna, dorado or wahoo? As one angler put it, “They were biting everything; probably would have bitten an old tennis shoe!” If you are heading this way, bring plenty of tackle. Double digit fishing goes through the tackle fast!!!

Banderas Bay - March 22nd, 2007

Puerto Vallarta fishing report, well its the season for mah mahi , roosterfish, sailfish, and small tuna, and we have been catching one or the other everyday. Puerto vallarta is mostly known for its huge game fish 300 lb yellow fin tuna and the 1000 lb marlin. but you can also catch small game fish as well and that is the season we are in riht now. the mahi mahi and the dorado have been running between corbetena and the point off of punta de mita. Sailfish is a great bill fish but mahi mahi and Wahoo are some of the best tasting fish out there!! The mahi mahi have been ranging from 15-60 lbs and have been feeding where the mercy water hits the deeper ocean water. and have been biting everything we through at them. Sailfish have been traveling in schools of 3 all week we have been spotting them and casting 2-3 lines of live bait and catching and releasing like crazy!! We caught 5 last Tuesday on a 6hr trip I mean they were literally jumping in the boat. The Wahoo have been a little trickier to catch now when your fishing for wahoo you have to troll at a faster speed then when your targeting billfish, wahoo is one of the fastest fish out there and has razor sharp teeth so if you not trolling at a fast enough speed say good buy to your $100 lure corbetena was the hot spot for wahoo last week ranging from 25-55 lbs we have not seen anything bigger than that so far this month.
