TELL THE PACIFIC COUNCIL --NO LONGLINES http://www.savethefish.org/action_items_Pacific_LL.htm
East Cape
Wow - a week of more better days than bad! This week provided some of the best winter conditions so far in 2007.
Molly Semenik, a guide on the Yellowstone River from Livingston, MT, hit the beach early mid-week. The weather was calm and offered perfect beach fishing conditions. Molly had more “firsts” than on a high school prom night! Rat roosters showed up for the beach party determined to snatch every fly that came close and of course, no Baja beach party would be complete without a ladyfish or two! All in all, Molly enjoyed a memorable Baja fishing day.
Offshore it was the same story with good if not great winter dorado action and there were even striped marlin bites in the mix for variety. While there was some tuna action report below Las Frailes, there were not many takers for the long ride. Chances are the dreaded north wind will soon return and it will be the old, “you should have been here last week”.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
Finally, decent weather for the yachts traveling up and down the coast of Baja. Out front they are reporting a few marlin and dorado bites strung all the way from the Thetis Bank to below Tasco. No bonanza - just a steady pick. Good conditions for checking out some of the local high spots for grouper and some “home guard” yellows.
Just outside the Entrada was a busy place with birds crashing on schools of sardine pushed to the surface by small yellows, bonito and skipjack.
Snook action slowed at Devils Curve with corvina, small grouper and pargo providing the best action.
For the locals the good news is the continued increase in the number of whales showing up inside the bay, attracting a steady stream of “ooohs and aaahers” with digital cameras in hand.

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
We have had a very pleasant surprise this week. The fishing has actually been better during the full moon phase, than it was the week before.
A current of cooler, 81° water, moved in, with clean blue water only a half mile out in front of Zihuatanejo Bay, and the cobalt blue water is only 5 miles out. The game fish came with the blue water. Each boat is averaging between two and three sailfish a day. And, several nice blue marlin were caught this week.
Plus, at 12 miles, there is a large area of 10 to 30 pound yellowfin tuna. The tuna have been hard to stay on, because they pop up and down, and when they are up, they are moving fast. This is when you wish you had a San Diego long range boat, with hundreds of scoops of chum bait available.
Inshore we are seeing a lot of jack crevalle cruising the beaches, plus we are now having a very good all day long bite on the large jacks inside the bay.
