REPORT #1050 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 02/17/07
East Cape
Beach and inshore action this week was dominated by a better-than-normal sierra bite that went on from gray light until well after sunrise. Our guide reported that between releasing fish and retying flies on, he barely had time to take any photos. If you were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, the small roosters and ladyfish could be found chasing small schools of sardina right to the beach. Offshore there was still consistent billfish and dorado action to the north outside of Punta Pescadero, as well as to the outside of the color break near the Punta Arena.

Remarkably, the whale count continues to climb. Enrique Soto, Puerto San Carlos, reported seeing over fifty whales on a three hour trip on Friday. Huge schools of large squid have mysteriously appeared during the week and have been washing up on the sandy beaches. Inside the Esteros, the corvina fishing exploded this week for the few anglers fishing there. There were also a few snook caught at Devil’s Curve.
Offshore, in spite of the windy conditions earlier in the week, local shark fishermen found both marlin and dorado west of the Entrada, 10 – 22 miles.

This week's trend is still staying true to the improving fishing from last week. The sailfish average is holding at between two and three sails per boat per day, but the blue marlin have showed up to join the party. Early in the week, foretelling what was to come, several huge blues were taken. A couple came in around 750 pounds, and a few more between 450 and 650 pounds. But, on Thursday, six big blues hit the dock, and then yesterday (Friday), another eight. Plus, several more were taken by the private boats based out of Marina Ixtapa.
Keep in mind, more of these marlin are lost than are actually hooked. Almost every boat in the blue water is getting a shot at one. Almost all the blues are being taken on a slow trolled live black skipjack tuna.
The inshore action is kind of unknown at this time, as most captains are telling their clients to try for the marlin.

Author Name: Capt Tim Fey

Butler Chain has been fishing pretty good, with a stable weather pattern, either extended warm or extended cooler periods, the bass have been active and feeding pretty good. Two of the top producers over the past 2 weeks has been Lakes Chase and Down. Grass beds have been the best way to catch the bass, some days it has been a case of working the outside edges and other days it has been working the inside of the grass beds, scattered and or thinned out grass beds have produced some good quality bass to 4 pounds slow rolling spinner baits through them, as well as using Gitem Shads or K.Os worked very slow.
Butler Chain bite has seemed to be a little better closer to high noon, with the sun warming the waters, with surface temperatures reaching 64 degrees. I have been noticing more bass beds showing up, but with fronts coming in, they have been getting pushed away from the beds for the most part, with several bass being caught that have already spawned, colder mornings and mornings right now in general have dictated a much slower presentation until the sun warms the waters, best action has come in waters ranging from 6 to 12 feet deep. For the beds that are currently empty, working the general area slow with anything from lizards to Senko type baits has yielded some good solid buck bass, as they are cruising the areas.
Last week I did come across some good schooling action on Lake Down, and a few days with warmer air temperature a few bass were pick up off beds, with most in the 4 to 5 pound range, with on bass not wanting to touch anything that was worked by her, until I tied on a HighRoller 5 inch Fingerling in the trout pattern, as soon as this lure made contact with the bass bed, the gal turned and pounced it without any hesitation.
Cooler weather this weekend, so slow down and be patient. Till my next report,
Tight lines and great fishing!

Cabo Fish Report
February 5-11, 2007
WEATHER: Our Daytime highs were from the low to mid 80’s this week with the warmer temps earlier in the week. Nights were a bit warmer as well with our lows in the mid 70’s. Later in the week, especially this weekend, it seemed lower due to strong winds from the southwest. We did not receive any rain this week but did have partly cloudy skies most o the time. It made for some beautiful sunsets on Thursday and Friday. The skies were much clearer on Monday and Tuesday, enough so that on Monday at sunset, 6 of the 8 people aboard the boat I captain (including me) saw the “green flash” as the sun disappeared over the horizon. Pretty cool!
WATER: On the Pacific side of the Cape we had warm water approach all week long from the southwest. The charts show a beautiful 74-degree wall pushing 70 degrees and moving steadily our direction. As of Sunday it was running east-west from the south side of the San Jaime to 8 miles south of the arch and 6 miles to the west of the 95 Spot. With the winds kicking in over the weekend it was too bouncy for most of the boats to go check it out, but if it continues to stay in the area I will be checking it out myself. The Chlorophyll charts show it to bee very clean. On the Cortez side of the Cape the water was cooler with everything inside the 1,000-fathom line between 69 and 71 degrees. The water within two miles of the beach was very green while farther out it was slightly green, definitely off-color.
BAIT: Just like last week, there were Mackerel at $2 per bait and there were occasional Sardinas available up at San Jose if you were there early and they were the normal $20 per scoop. There were a few Caballito in with the mackerel but there were no large numbers of them.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin bite moved from the Pacific side to the Cortez side this week. Most of the action was taking place between the Arches and the 95 spot, with the concentration at the 95 spot at the end of the week. A good day was three fish but most boats were averaging one release per trip. Dropping down a live bait after releasing a fish resulted in most of the multiple fish catches as where there was one Marlin there were sure to be more, but this method didn’t work later in the week with the strong winds. When the wind kicked the swells up a lot more fish were found tailing on the surface and that became the way the majority of fish were found this weekend. There were quite a few fish striking lures, but it was half-hearted for the most part and the hook-up ratio was pretty poor. Almost every fish caught was stuffed with foot-long squid so that is the reason for the poor lure catches I am sure.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were some fish found later in the week on the Cortez side out toward the Cabrilla Seamount, but it was sure a long way to go on the hope that they were in the area. The fish were associated with Dolphin but were just a bit bigger than footballs, mostly in the 20-pound class. The bite that had been going on at the inner Gorda Banks fell apart on Sunday when the strong wind didn’t allow for a slow, controlled drift, a necessity when fishing chunks for the larger Tuna. The fish that were caught earlier in the week were in the 40-80 pound class. Live Sardinas worked in the same area accounted for an average of three Yellowfin per boat; these fish were in the 15-20 pound class.
DORADO: The Dorado catch continued its decline this week with the cool waters on the Cortez side. A few boats worked the Pacific side offshore and were able to get decent results in the warmer water but it was too rough for them to do much more than troll down swell and pick up an occasional fish. I managed to get one yesterday between the 95 and 1150 spots but the water was a bit too green and it seemed cool at 71 degrees.
WAHOO: None were caught this week that I am aware of although I am sure there were a few.
INSHORE: The Sierra bite continues to slowly improve, but it’s still not red-hot. Most boats are getting a dozen or so per trip, a few get about twice that. For the most part the big inshore fighters have been the Jacks, averaging 20 pounds. A lot of the Pangas were going out for Marlin this week, as they were fairly close, at least they were until the wind picked up this weekend!
NOTES: Whales are everywhere! I can’t believe how many we are seeing every trip this past week. Yesterday (Sunday) there were Humpbacks doing full breech leaps and popping up all over the place, we must have counted several dozen out in the deep water. We saw at least three-dozen Gray whales up along the beaches and one of them did a series of full breech leaps in just 45 feet of water! This weeks report was written to the classical guitar music of Miguel De Hoyos. I had a chance to listen to him this week while we were out to dinner and I was blown away to hear him play Flight Of The Bumble-Bee and Memories Of La Alhambra. His finger-work is just amazing and I ended up buying a couple of his CD’s. His album “Sevilla Suite” has both of those on it and was self produced in 1997 at Pacific Beach Studios in San Diego. Until next week, tight lines!

February 9, 2007
Cold water continues to dictate the fishing in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo. We are seeing the annual move from Sailfish into more of a Yellowfin tuna and Marlin bite. Inshore the Roosterfish have gone south for the week but the action for Big Spanish Mackerel up to 15 lbs along with good numbers of Big Jacks has really turned on over the past week. Angler Joe Esser Fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 1 landed 35 Spanish Mackerel, 27 Yellowtail Jacks, 2 Dorado, 4 Yellowfin tuna and 35 Bonitos all in 3 days of fishing. Captain Arturo on the Janeth fishing just 2 miles off the beach near Las Saladitas to the North landed 27 Yellowfin Tuna to 40 lbs. Captain Chrio on the Bloody Hook reported 7 SAILFISH, 1 Dorado and 4 Spanish Mackerel in three days for angler Mr. Keller who fished out of Puerto Vincentee Guerrero and stayed at the Casa Las Brisas ( www.zihuatanejo.net/casalasbrisas ) Captain Chiro also reported 1 Dorado for angler Jeff Sphinner. Returning angler John Winter fishing three days aboard the Esturion and Bloody Hook landed a 305 Lb Blue Marlin, a Striped Marlin, 2 SAILFISH, 1 DORADO and 1 Yellowtail Jack. Angler Terry Ward fishing aboard the Grand Jefe 1 landed 2 SAILFISH and a handful of Bonitos in 2 days of fishing. An average of 3 Marlin per day have been reported by the fleet with the largest of the week scaling in a 639 Lbs. There are still some open dates for this year’s spring run of marlin and big tuna and we are also taking reservations for the late spring and summer Roosterfish season.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather, Seasonably perfect with temps in the high 80’s cool mornings
Sea Conditions: Calm
Bait Supply: Good

Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
February 11, 2007
Anglers -
After enduring a month long cold spell there was finally some weather to smile about, there was even a hint of spring in the air, high temperatures reached close to 80 degrees and lows were in the 60s. There was plenty of sunshine and the pesky winds from the north diminished, overall anglers found ideal ocean conditions with minimal swells. Water clarity fluctuated from day to day and blue water was now found further from shore. Average water temperature ranged from 69 to 71 degrees. Large concentrations of sardinas and mackerel are schooling in local waters and the most consistent fishing action recently has been while using these baits.
The cruiser fleets were switching most of their effort in the direction of San Jose del Cabo, this is where the striped marlin have been more numerous, found anywhere from Chileno to the Gordo Banks, from 4 to 14 miles offshore. At times dozens of stripers were seen tailing on the surface, more so mid-day when the breeze would pick up some. Casting live mackerel in front of these tailers proved to be the hot ticket. Sizes averaged 100 to 130 pounds. Along with the striped marlin were a few surprising sailfish and a mix of medium to quality sized dorado, still hanging around in the cooler waters. We hope that with the weather now on a warming trend that the water conditions will do the same.
Whale watching continues to be at its peak, especially for humpbacks in the areas from Gordo Banks to Iman. The same areas where sportfishing fleets have been concentrated, these whale at times were putting on incredible displays of aerobatics. Other interests seen were turtles, sea lions, porpoise, manta rays and flying fish.
The panga fleets out of La Playita found the most consistent action switching from the Inner Gordo Banks. This is where they were finding big schools pf yellowfin tuna, some days the fish would come up and feed early and on other days the bite did not happen until late morning, but on most days anglers were able to find good action for tuna ranging from 20 to 40 pounds. Anglers had success on both live and dead sardinas. Also the fish were striking mackerel, but not as aggressively as they were the smaller baitfishes. In the same vicinity of La Fortuna and Iman Banks there was improved bottomfish action for a mix of pargo, cabrilla, bonita and amberjack, still not in large numbers, but a good sign that more of these fish are now showing up in the fish counts. Anglers found that yo-yo style jigs were starting to produce, as well as various baits off the bottom rock piles.
With offshore conditions being nice the fishing productive there were not many anglers targeting inshore, where there has still not been much of any consistent action reported.
The combined La Playita panga fleet sent out approximately 63 pangas for the week and anglers accounted for a fish count of: 3 sailfish, 11 striped marlin, 28 dorado, 58 pargo,
265 yellowfin tuna, 16 amberjack, 22 cabrilla, 32 bonita and 12 hammerhead shark.
Good fishing, Eric

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.

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”.

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.

Cabo Fish Report
January 29-Febuary 4, 2007
WEATHER: We had a couple of days of cloudy skies early in the week but everything cleared up nicely later on. February 3rd brought a brief one-day change in the wind as it blew up from the east instead of the normal northwest direction and that caused a few complications but it was only a one-day blow. Our daytime highs were in the high 70’s and the nighttime lows in the mid to low 50’s.
WATER: Surface conditions were great almost everywhere and all week long with the exception of choppy water on the Cortez side on Saturday when the wind switched and far out on the Pacific for the rest of the week with the normal northwesterly wind. Even then, it was not bad, just a bit bouncy. On Saturday the water off of Solmar beach and to the lighthouse was mixed up, the normal current down the Pacific coast was countered by the easterly wind and that made things bouncy in there as well. At the end of the week the water on the Pacific side ranged from 67 to 70 degrees while on the Cortez side there was a band of warm water running across the Gorda Banks and to the south across the 1150 area. This water was 72 degrees and fairly blue while right in front of town and up around the inside of the Golden Gate Bank on the Pacific the water was a very ugly green.
BAIT: Just like last week, there were Mackerel at $2 per bait and there were occasional Sardinas available up at San Jose if you were there early and they were the normal $20 per scoop. There were a few Caballito in with the mackerel but there were no large numbers of them.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: There were still some Marlin being found on the Golden Gate bank but not in the numbers of the past weeks. The green water moved the bait out and the fish scattered a bit. There were still Striped Marlin being caught off of the lighthouse but it seems that most of them have moved over into the Sea of Cortez. This time of year they start to spend quite a bit of time on the surface and that is beginning now. It has been much easier to spot them as they tail along down swell but sometimes it can be very frustrating to toss live bait after live bait at them and have them refuse every offering. Top boats are coming in with three or four Marlin flags this past week instead of the 6 or 8 we became used to a few weeks ago, but the fishing style is changing as well.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were occasional schools of Yellowfin found offshore on both sides of the Cape this past week as well as directly south, but they have been a long way out there, 20 miles. Closer to home there has been a steady if not hot bite on fish averaging 25 pounds at the Gorda Banks. Anglers using live Sardinas had the best and most consistent results on these fish, but bigger fish are there as well. Using chunk baits on flouro-carbon leader anglers got into an occasional fish to 120 pounds.
DORADO: Dorado remained the number two fish this week as the cooler water continued to move in. Finding blue water was the key this past week and that meant going a bit farther offshore on the Pacific side. A few boats were able to score well on fish averaging 15 pounds when they found floating debris such as tree limbs and chunks of wood, but on average boats were scoring one or two fish between 8 and 20 pounds while trolling lures.
WAHOO: The full moon resulted in a few Wahoo being caught and a few boats actually caught more than one. I saw four flags on one boat and it was reported to me that when the anglers were asked if the flags were for Wahoo or for Sierra they assured the questioner that the were for Wahoo. On the radio I overheard a few conversations about hooks being bitten off and lures being trashed. It seems that most of the fish were being found on the Cortez side of the Cape and mostly close to shore and around the Gorda Banks and Punta Gorda.
INSHORE: The Sierra are beginning to show up in large numbers as the water continues to cool. They were in the blue water, not the green, and they were very close to the beach, almost up in the surf line for the most part. The average size is only 4-5 pounds, but that will increase over time. There were a few areas in the rocks that produced Pargo this week.
NOTES: Larry Carlton on his self-produced album “Sleepwalk” was my choice in music for writing this report to. I have had it for a long time and had forgotten just how much I enjoy his guitar style. It’s Super Bowl Sunday and I have a trip from 9-3 today. I guess that the boat will just have to wait until tomorrow to get cleaned well inside! I don’t really care who wins this game as long as it is a close one and our numbers come up on the board. We are starting plans to re-do the kitchen at home, bring down my Jeep and perhaps take a week vacation sometime this summer. Busy, busy, busy! Until next week, tight lines!
