Sat., September 13, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (9/10 - 9/12)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Hot, cloudless days were routine this week. Plenty of football-sized tuna kept the few boats out running from one porpoise school to another. After that action died off it was time to settle down and search for the sailfish attracted by the warm water. While the inshore seems to be recovering slowly from the past few weeks of wind and rain, it is still not worth the effort. Time spent further offshore will be much more productive.

· OFFSHORE: Tuna and sailfish or is it sailfish and tuna; anyway, that was
the best action to be found this week.
· INSHORE: Some pockets of clean water beginning to appear, but still overall not ideal conditions.
· BEACH: If you find an area with fairly clean water and some activity, DONT LEAVE IT. The next one may be miles down the beach. In front of the hotels is as good as it gets right now. Wait till next week.
BILLFISH - More sails than stripers and very few blues this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Plenty of footballs and just when you begin to believe you
are safe with your 8-weight, along comes a gorilla-sized tuna and you get dusted.
DORADO - Ho Hum, still waiting for the bonanza.
ROOSTERFISH - Once the water clears up it will heat up again.
JACK CREVALLE - Only a few smaller variety to be found.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Look along the color break.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few found around the rocky points near Punta Colorada.
SIERRA - Slim pickings this week; besides, who wants to mess with the wire
bite tippet.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., September 13, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (9/10 - 9/12)
IN GENERAL: You can tell it is Sept. and shrimp season is open in Magdalena Bay. All the locals want to tell me about shrimping. There are very few doing real fishing, but here goes. Want dorado? As they say, Go West, about six to eight miles should do. If you start seeing some jumping marlin, you have probably gone too far. Plenty of tuna for sashimi to be had closer to the Thetis Bank as well as a few yellows on the pinnacles. Speaking of pinnacles, there is one about a mile south of the entrada that has been producing some nice-sized broomtail grouper if you get deep enough. Back up in the esteros, it must be good because there was no pressure from the locals. Last week, a school of yellows showed up – are you ready for this? – at the pier! It was wide open for a short time while creating quite a buzz in sleepy San Carlos.

YELLOWTAIL - Take your pick either the entrada or Thetis Bank.
CORVINA - Either the bridge or pier is a good bet.
SNOOK - Quiet.
HALIBUT - Continuing action for those that are interested. Plenty on the south side of Belchers in skinny water.
SIERRA - A few under the bird schools.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
Please note the date. We are only providing weekly (not twice a week) reports for this area.
Saturday, September 13, 2003, Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (9/06 - 9/13)
IN GENERAL: The fishing conditions have remained in about the same state and
condition for a several weeks now. The 82º blue water is close to beach, but the offshore fishing can only be rated as fair.
A few 20-pound class dorado are holding under the weed lines, but the only rain we received this week was just last night (9/12). And, it was not of enough duration to push much material out of the rivers to attract more dorado.
Each boat is hooking 1 or 2 sailfish a day. The lack of fishing pressure and tourists see only about 6 to 8 boats a day on the water.
The inshore roosterfish action is still excellent, with 5 to 7 of the fish being very large fish and averaging about 30- to 42-pounds. Contrary to the blue water, this bite has remained steady, in part, to the lack of rain. The inshore waters are clear and not muddied up from high flows out of the rivers.
Water Temperature 75º-90º
Air Temperature 77°-90º
Humidity 94%
Wind Calm
Conditions Mostly Cloudy (BKN) : 15,000 ft /
