September 8-14, 2008

WEATHER The weather was the big item of the week. Starting the week off was a movement of storm cells over the top of us from the mainland. These cells had plenty of thunder and lightning with them, to the point that the Port Captain closed the marina on Monday and Tuesday. The positive aspect of this was the fact that the rain was light and fairly steady, the type of rain that will soak into the desert instead of running off into the arroyos. Just as these storm cells moved out the feeder band of Tropical Storm (late Tropical Depression) Lowell moved in with winds steady at 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph and more light rains. This kept the port closed through Wednesday, and it did not open again until mid morning Thursday, too late for most of the charters as they had already cancelled trips for the day. With the movement of weather through the area the daytime temperatures dropped as well as the nighttime temps. Our nights ended up being a beautiful 72-75 degrees at the end of the week while the daytime highs did not get much more than 87 degrees, and with low humidity at that. Everyone has been saying how it feels like the middle of October this week!
WATER: Naturally the water was too rough for fishing until Thursday but the weather we experienced cooled off the surface temperatures a bit, as well as what we had on land. On the Pacific side the water was almost a steady 84 degrees with a little cooler areas near shore. On the Cortez side of the Cape it was averaging 86 degrees, overall down about 2 degrees from before the beginning of the week. The swells remained from the southwest until Friday when they began returning to their normal northwest direction. On the Pacific they were 6-8 feet when the port opened on Thursday but had dropped to 3-5 feet over the weekend. On the Cortez side they were averaging 2 feet less. With the light and steady rains we did not have much in the way of debris wash out of the arroyos but the water was a bit discolored close to the arroyos on both the Pacific and Cortez side on Thursday, clearing up by the weekend.
BAIT: Almost all the bigger baits this week were Caballito and Mullet at the normal $3 per bait. There were Sardinas available from a couple of boats locally but everyone had them up toward Palmilla. The price here was a bit higher than to the north as the boats here were charging $30 a bucket while it was only $25 a bucket up north.
FISHING:

BILLFISH: Striped Marlin continued to bite even though the water remained in the 84-degree range. It did not take much of a search on Friday to find the fish, they were still holding in the same area as last week, mostly on the Pacific side closer to shore, most within 7 miles of the beach. There was a concentration of fish on the Golden Gate Bank; that bodes well for next week as well. There was a scattering of Sailfish in the catches as well, and they were from the same areas. The Blue Marlin did not appear at the end of the week, hopefully they will start to show in numbers soon.
YELLOWFIN TUNA On Thursday and Friday there were reports of Yellowfin to 60 pounds being caught to the west side of the San Jaime Banks, but few fish reported from other areas.
DORADO Still mostly being caught on the Pacific side, the Dorado have been striking well on medium sized lures in brighter colors. Live bait dropped back behind a troll hooked fish resulted in many doubles on fish that averages 15 pounds with a few in the 40-pound class. Spotting the Frigate birds swooping on flying fish was the key to steady action on Dorado after the storms.
WAHOO I did not hear of any reports of Wahoo after the storms this week.
INSHORE: The swells kicked up by the storms made inshore fishing very iffy, most of the Pangas preferred to go out 5 miles or so for Dorado. A few of the Pangas that worked inside on the Cortez side reported decent action on Roosterfish to 35 pounds, nothing hot and heavy but steady fishing with live Mullet and Caballito.
NOTES: The desert is going to be beautiful after the nice rain we just had and hopefully I will get a chance to check it out this week. Until next week, tight lines!

Dorado Heats Up as Lowell Dampens Update Sept. 14…

REPORT #1131 'Below the Border' Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Update Sept. 14… Friday skies were blue and it was business (fishing) as usual. Marlin action still was dismal. Dorado action picked right back up and while few boats have been going out the ones that did had good scores. Yellowfin tuna were there but mostly small fish. It is probably going to take a few days for the beaches to clear up and be worth checking out.
As predicted, the dorado action heated up in the wake of Karina. While most were schoolie-sized there were a few larger fish mixed in. By the weekend another tropical depression “Lowell’ entered the picture. After heading out to the west, Lowell made a hard right turn back toward Southern Baja. During the storm, few boats that have gone out today delayed until 9:30 when the rain quit. As soon as the storm passes we would expect the dorado action to resume.
The tuna action had slowed somewhat before the weekend as well.
Inshore the water is off color from the wind waves caused by TD Lowell.

Another week of rain kept most of the boats close to home this week. According to some of the commercial pangas the yellowtail, dorado and small tuna were still in the same area near Cabo Lazaro but no one was out to fish them.

In the Esteros, the combination of stormy weather and big tides prevented any fishing at all this week.

With the recent rains, the blue water has moved out to the 15 mile mark, with a distinctive weed line defining the separation of off colored water and the blue water. The demarcation line is also holding game fish.
Martin, on the 35 foot cruiser Nautilus, fished the weed line for this last 5 days straight, averaging at least one 20 pound plus dorado and 2 sails a day. His 5 day total was 11 sailfish and 6 dorado.
September is usually the wettest month of the year for us, but most of the rain comes at night, with the fleet being able to fish every day so far. The only problem we had with the weather this week was, due to the heavy outflow from the rivers, the inshore water was murky. Plus, the waves along the shoreline this week were very high. These two conditions combined for very tough roosterfish fishing.

WEATHER Talk about warm, this week we had the early morning temperatures in the low to mid 80’s, on Sunday morning I saw 86 degrees on the thermometer. Our daytime highs have been up there as well, mostly in the high 90’s and we have had very little wind. Partly cloudy skies have kept it from getting unbearable and it looks as though the clouds may continue as we get some remote banding from a storm expected to pass well to the south of us this week.
WATER: The air is hot and so is the water. On the Cortez side of the Cape the water has been a pretty even 86-88 degrees. On the Pacific side from the shore to around 10 miles out it has been from 82-84 degrees and farther out it has been between 85-88 degrees. We had some big swells mid-week but they had died out at the end of the week, however, we might se a few more big ones due to the storm to the south. With the wind very light most of the time there has been just a bit of a chop on the water. Mid-week we had a couple of breezy days on the Pacific side close to shore, but once you got away from the shoreline by three or four miles it calmed down.
BAIT: Almost all the bigger baits this week were Caballito and Mullet at the normal $3 per bait. There were Sardinas available from a couple of boats locally but everyone had them up toward Palmilla. The price here was a bit higher than to the north as the boats here were charging $30 a bucket while it was only $25 a bucket up north.
FISHING:

BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin continued to bite this week, surprising everyone since the water is so warm. The Sailfish showed up as well, not in the numbers as on the mainland but everyone had shots at multiple fish this week. I did not hear of anyone getting hooked up to big Blue or Black Marlin this week. Most of the Marlin action took place in the band of cooler water along the shoreline on the Pacific side while the Sailfish were in the warmer water just outside. Live bait got the most attention form the striped Marlin this week, but you had to be quick or the Dorado would take the bait before the Stripers got a chance to chew.
YELLOWFIN TUNA We had good Tuna action this week on fish that ranged between 15 and 150 pounds. Most of the fish were between 30 and 50 pounds but the same schools were delivering #150 fish on drop-back baits or deep drifted live baits. The school fish were hitting almost everything, feathers to Blue Marlin lures worked but the best action was on the smaller lures in the 4-6 inch size. A few boats loaded their clients with Tuna in the smaller size range by chumming heavily with sardines while in the Porpoise, then drifting with sardines on small hooks with a small piece of lead several feet above the hook. The Majority of Tuna action took place along the warm-cold water boundary on the Pacific side, around 12-18 miles offshore. I don’t know how much longer it will last because a couple of Tuna Seiners showed up on Saturday.
DORADO Definitely the fish of the week, Dorado made a strong showing in our area. From the Punta Gorda area all the way around the Cape to the Todo Santos area on the Pacific the fish were chewing on anything put in the water. Like I said above about the Marlin, there were Dorado taking live bait away from the stripers. Covering the water while trolling at 9 knots located the fish, then dropping back live bait or casting flies to fish following the one hooked on the troll resulted in steady, exciting action. Most of the fish were in the 12-15 pound class but occasional fish ran to 50 pounds.
WAHOO Wahoo made a showing this week offshore around the San Jaime and Golden Gate banks as well as in the open water. They were not large fish on average, just around 30 pounds, but at least they were there!
INSHORE: Large swells made inshore fishing a bit uncomfortable during the middle of the week, but boats that targeted them did well on Roosterfish averaging 15-25 pounds. Slow trolled Mullet and Sardines worked for the Roosters. Most of the Pangas were doing well on Dorado and we had one friend get a $150 pound Tuna while fishing on a Panga, as well as others to #50 and plenty of Dorado.
NOTES: I still didn’t get into the hills, maybe next week! Instead, I golfed four days straight. It looks as if I need lessons if I am going to improve. I should have been out on the water more, it is a lot cooler out there and the fishing is red-hot right now. Until next week, tight lines!

You don’t have to go far to find the small tuna…just a few miles off of La Ribera. There have also been some larger ones found deeper in the water column and ‘schoolie’ dorado are scattered all the way from there to the lighthouse.
Farther out off of Punta Pescadero there have been some schools of larger tuna under the porpoise schools.
Billfish action has been limited to a few blues and stripers, but with plenty of sailfish throughout Palmas Bay. Don’t be surprised if a bull dorado to show up in the teasers.
There are schools of sardina on many of the beaches attracting small jacks and roosters along with the pesky needles.
Beach action was hampered by hordes of needlefish along with off-color water caused by leftover swells from Tropical Storm, Karina.
Tip: When the conditions include off-color water, try slowing down the retrieve speed.

More fish than visitors this week. Outside the dorado, small YFT and wahoo were there for the taking according to the few locals who ventured out. The sprinkling of billfish continues to increase week by week as the season begins to build. Still a good grouper bite, but unfortunately most that are caught go in the back of the fish truck.

Estero action was pretty much the same story…good fishing for corvina, grouper and a few snapper with little or no pressure.

After a very below normal rainfall for August, we had a bit of rain this last week, which caused a lot of debris to come out of the rivers. Late Monday night we got a huge thunderstorm with 2 1/4' of rain in one hour.
This wiped out the inshore waters with stained water.
However, the blue water was only moved out to the 10 mile mark. The sailfish action is decent. Martin on the Nautilus had days of 2, 4, 1, and 3 sailfish starting on Sunday. He also reported lots of black skipjack tuna just off the dirty inshore water.
No dorado or tuna have been reported, but with the debris in the water, the dorado cannot be too far behind.

August 25-31, 2008

WEATHER We ended last week with high winds and the port closed on Sunday but at 10 AM Monday the port Captain decided conditions were safe enough to allow the fleet to go out. Of course that was too late for many of the boats as clients were not willing to wait at the dock for four hours on the “possibility” that he would open it up. Anyway, the weather cleared and for the remainder of the week we had partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies with winds from the northwest at 10-15 knots. We had some rain on Saturday, just a light sprinkle here in town but out on the Pacific side about the San Jaime area it dumped for an hour then rained very heavily for another hour. At the end of the week, Sunday, we had mostly sunny skies with light winds. Our average daytime high was 94 degrees and our average nighttime low was 81 degrees.
WATER: As I mentioned in the weather section, the Port Captain closed the port until 10 AM Monday and upon going to sea it was found that on the Pacific side the seas were at 3-5 feet with winds between 10 and 15 knots while on the Cortez side the seas were 1-3 feet with winds at 5-10 knots. This remained the same almost all week; finally on Friday the Pacific side became even calmer with swells at 2-3 feet and the wind dropping to 5-10 knots. The rain at the end of last week resulted in off-color water conditions just off the beach on the Sea of Cortez but did not seem to affect inshore water on the Pacific side. Water temperatures on the surface dropped a bit due to the cloudy conditions and we had much more fishable temps on the Cortez side with an average of 84 degrees with the water blue. On the Pacific side the water inside of the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks was 80-82 degrees and blue.
BAIT: Bait this week was Caballito with a few Mullet for those that wanted them. The big bait price was $3 per bait. Some Sardinas were available up toward San Jose later in the week at $25 per scoop.
FISHING:

BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin bite continued this week with most of the action taking place within 5 miles of the beach on the Pacific side between the lighthouse and the inside of the Golden Gate Bank. Live bait tossed at tailing fish worked on about 40% of the fish seen and a few others were caught on trolled lures. There were plenty of Sailfish to be found as well, we had one client who was covered up with all five lines going off at once on Tuesday, resulting in the release of three fish and the loss of two. The Sailfish were also just off the beach, there seemed to be a good concentration of bait in the area. There were reports of a few nice Blue Marlin this week but they were not biting hot and heavy. I heard of several fish in the 250 pound class being released from the area of the 95 Spot and the 1150 and I am sure there were a few from the Gorda Banks as well.
YELLOWFIN TUNA The Tuna stayed around after the passing of the storm and most boats were able to do well if they stayed on the fish. On a few days it was scratch as scratch can to get bites, but on Saturday when the rain came on hard the fish came to the surface and bit hard for two hours. Most of the fish were in the 25-40 pound class with a few fish reaching 60 pounds. Earlier in the week the bite occurred closer to shore among the porpoise and those fish were both smaller, with quite a few footballs, and larger, with a few fish in the 80-pound class. Lures, especially small feather in dark colors worked on the football fish, and live bait worked on the larger fish.
DORADO Last week I was hoping that the storm would was debris into the water and improve the Dorado catch, but the debris did not happen. The Dorado catch, howev3er, turned on by itself and this week Dorado were fish of the week. Almost any boat that wanted to was able to get limits for their clients (federal limit of two per angler per day) and most of the fish were in the 10-20 pound class. There were some nicer fish caught as well as we had client who caught several nice bull Dorado in the 50-pound class. As with the billfish, most of the Dorado action took place on the Pacific side within 5 miles of the beach, but there were several days during the week when the action was hot and heavy just off the beach on the Cortez side up around the Palmilla area and other rocky points.
WAHOO Our just passed new moon may have had something to do with the lack of Wahoo this week, perhaps next week they will make a showing!
INSHORE: The inshore fishing on the Cortez side was very poor this week due to the discolored water, but slowly improved toward the end of the week. On the Pacific side most of the Pangas were fishing for Dorado and Tuna since it was a fishery very close to shore.
NOTES: Well, I was going to go to the hills this weekend but have come down with some sort of cold/sinus infection and did not do it. No golf either. Oh well, there’s always another day, knock on wood. I have gotten a lot of reading done and managed to get several articles written before deadline. I guess that’s one nice thing about being at home a lot. This week’s music was a mix of acoustic guitar from my computer library, just the right stuff for my mood today! Until next week, watch some football and keep a line tight!

REPORT #1129 'Below the Border' Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Tropical depression Julio tip-toed by bringing with it a little wind and leaving 3 inches of rain, with even more wind coming from the collective sighs of relief from the locals than the storm.
In the wake of Julio’s departure, we’ve had storybook weather with water temps hitting the high eighties, but the fishing has been described as ‘double tough.’ Offshore it has been a scratch bite for sails and blues, though there were a few small tuna in front of La Ribera on the high spot.
Inshore the water was off color and there was a bit of leftover swell that has kept it stirred up. You had to earn the few small roosters and jacks that were still to be had.
I suspect that part of the problem was the fewer number of boats that went out this week; many cancelled their trip at the last minute because of Julio.
Tip: Following a storm is a good time to find the color breaks; cruise along the clean side and look for debris that may have washed out of the arroyos. In the hot weather, the dorado like to gather underneath in the shade of the debris.

Farther up the peninsula, Julio dumped enough rain to flooding parts of Ciudad Insurgentes and parts of Constitución.

According to local newspapers, Julio caused heavy rains in the mountainous area of Comondú, bringing severe floods of water into several towns. The inhabitants of Ciudad Insurgentes found it necessary to place sand bags at some building entrances, several families still suffered heavy material losses.

According to information provided by the commanders of the delegations of Puerto Adolfo López Mateos and San Juanico, access to both communities is impossible by road becasuse of damage from Julio. While there has been flood damage no casualties or injuries have been reported....El Sudcaliforniano August 28th

The day of Julio local boater Bill Earhart caught 2 wahoo in 84 degree water in front
of Punta San Lazaro. Grouper fishing remained excellent up until the day of the storm.
Capt Sergio has been averaging 4 grouper per day in the 50 lb range. Because of the storm damage cleanup fishing was put on the back burner.

The fishing has been a bit slow this week. With the blue water only 6 miles off the beach, the conditions would seem to be very good, but we have had wind at least 4 days so far this week. The wind has kept the sailfish average down to only about 1 or 2 fish per day per boat, and nobody has been going out farther than about 15 miles to look for tuna.
There are a few dorado showing in the counts, but it is only about 1 boat out of 3 scoring on the 20 pound plus fish.
Santiago, on the panga Gitana, fished inshore one day and had an unusual catch of triple tails. They scored on an even dozen of the 6 to 8 pound tasty fish. He found them off the outlets of the river mouths and hiding under the debris that had washed out from the river.
Roosterfish and jack crevalle action is still holding up with very good action.

WEATHER We started this week with hot and humid conditions and just a little bit of a sprinkle of rain on Tuesday. Every day since then we have gotten just a bit more rain until Saturday night when Tropical Storm Julio’s feeder bands moved into our area. It really started to rain then! We received about three inches then for a total over the week of around 5 inches of rain. Forecasts call for more rain through Sunday and into Monday morning, for a total of up to six inches this weekend. This has cooled things off just a bit, but has really messed up the streets. Our daytime highs have been the low 80’s and the nighttime lows in the mid 70’s. Today, Sunday, we are expecting winds to 35 miles per hour with gusts to 50 miles per hour, the Port Captain shut down the Marina for the day,
WATER: We had great conditions on both sides of the Cape early in the week with smooth water, almost glass-like smoothness. Water temperatures were up a bit, and that may be one of the reasons that Tropical Storm Julio kept coming toward us, our water just offshore ranged from 85 to 89 degrees with a few areas off 30 miles showing 90 degrees. The water was blue everywhere you went early in the week and through the weekend, but I am telling you now that the near-shore waters on both sides of the Cape are going to be discolored next week, there is enough rain that the runoff is going to extend quite a way offshore, just how far remains to be seen. On a positive note, it usually means that wood and debris gets washed down the arroyos as well, and that will give Dorado some items to focus on and congregate under
BAIT: Bait this week was Caballito with a few Mullet for those that wanted them. The big bait price was $3 per bait. Some Sardinas were available up toward San Jose early in the week; I doubt there will be any around this coming week with the dirty water inshore.
FISHING:

BILLFISH: There were some Blue Marlin caught this week but the surprise of the week was the number of Striped Marlin that ended up biting. The warm water conditions normally keep the Stripers off their feed, but we had several charters that ended up releasing three or four Striped Marlin per trip. These fish were found in the same areas all the other species this week, a band of water no farther out than 30 miles and concentrated on the banks and points. Live bait worked very well this week for the Striped Marlin while almost all the Blue Marlin bites were on lures.
YELLOWFIN TUNA Well, last week I reported on the area where the Yellowfin were being found and they were still there through the first of the week and anglers were doing well on fish to 150 pounds, with quite a few nice ones in the 80 pound class. Nothing lasts forever and on Thursday a Purse Seiner showed up early in the morning and just like that the fish were gone. Fortunately there were other fish scattered around, and a few schools were actually closer to the Cape. Lets just hope they are still around after the storm passes through and no more seiners move in on us.
DORADO The Dorado catches remained slow at an average of two fish per boat, and the size ranged from 10 to 20 pounds. Hopefully the debris from the storm will help concentrate the fish and things will improve this coming week or two.
WAHOO: There were a few offshore fish early in the week but no concentrations of Wahoo. I did hear of several of these speedsters that went close to 70 pounds, and they struck on lures intended for Blue Marlin.
INSHORE: Inshore fishing was decent for small Roosterfish and Jacks to 10 pounds, otherwise it was a scratch-fest, most Pangas went further offshore for Tuna and Dorado rather than work the strong inshore current while bottom fishing.
NOTES: Next weekend I am heading for the hills, this rain should really green things up and I want to see if the downpour has revealed any interesting fossils, plus the Jeep needs a day out! Hopefully the fishing will remain good this week, we will know how it is by Tuesday. Until next week, have a great time and try to get some fishing in!

If there is a fly that is better than the Rubber Spider for catching bluegill or red devils..... it's a sinking rubber spider. Since red devil don't take a surface lure, I figured I would try the Cap Spider.

Clay and I were testing my new creations today and the results were great.
[url=http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Pq230YnA][img]http://www.postimage.org/Pq230YnA.jpg[/img][/url]

The Cap Spider I was using was tied on a 1/64 oz. jig head. I tried different color bodies and legs... most everything worked.

[url=http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aV2hLR4J][img]http://www.postimage.org/aV2hLR4J.jpg[/img][/url]

The RD were deep because of the rise in water level so the heavy flys worked well. I've since tied some with a bead head, or no weight at all for a really slow sink rate. Works just fine.

[url=http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=gx2AalLA][img]http://www.postimage.org/gx2AalLA.jpg[/img][/url]

Look at the hump on this 1 pound male.... one of the largest I've ever seen.

[url=http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=gx2Aayei][img]http://www.postimage.org/gx2Aayei.jpg[/img][/url]

That's not all they catch. How about this 2 pound catfish?

[url=http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Pq231eQA][img]http://www.postimage.org/Pq231eQA.jpg[/img][/url]

And there is that little fly, right in the corner of it's mouth.

Football and Wasabi?

Endless Season Update 08/20/2008
REPORT #1128 'Below the Border' Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
The large number of small football sized tuna up and down the coastline from Las Arenas to Cabo Pulmo has caused a shortage of wasabi to go with the sashimi being served in the hotel bars at happy hour.
Dorado action is either big or little, depending on who’s talking. Basically for the ones catching plenty, the size is small. If you find the bigger ones, you are lucky to catch one or two.
Few bills collected this week with the exception of sails which have moved in with warmer (hot) water.
Unfortunately the hot water has caused a needlefish bloom, They are as thick as pelicans on a baitball, and they are a downright nuisance snatching anything that hits the water.
Still lots of smaller roosters and jacks up and down the beach but as hot as the weather is, early morning and late afternoon beach fishing makes the most sense. If you insist on going out in the midday sun, use plenty of sun block and take lots of water. Designate one your group as the ‘cooler carrier’ and wear a hat! There are a few sight casting opportunities to be had if you are patient. Don’t overlook the schools of pompano slowly swimming up and down the beach.
Tip: Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the difference between a school of baitfish and the pompano…the ones you are looking for, look like submerged dinner plates flashing in the sun.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico

The volume of dorado, yellowtail and striped marlin continues to increase. Not seeing many birds or bait but more fish every day. Ken Kramer landed striped marlin, dorado and yellowtail while fishing from Cabo Lazero up toward Thetis Bank.

Roman Shidel, and his son Roman, Jr. visiting from France, fished with Sergio on the Mar Gato. The bottom fishing was pretty good, producing assorted rockfish along with 4 grouper up to sixty lbs.

With offshore temps climbing up into the eighties and calm blue water offshore, the Esteros took a back seat.

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
With the full moon late this last week, we are experiencing the normal slow down in the action. The blue water is still close to the beach, with all conditions leading to excellent fishing, if the moon phase would just cooperate.
However, the 1 to 2 sailfish per boat per day average is still not all that bad. The dorado and tuna are still a no show.
Inshore, the rains have been holding off and the water is clear. It is an ideal situation for roosters, and they are responding. There is excellent action on the roosterfish, and very good action on large jack crevalle to about 20 pounds.

Cabo San Lucas

BILLFISH: The full moon this week slowed the Marlin bite on the bigger fish like the Blues and the Blacks, but there was still fair action on the Striped Marlin. For boats fishing outside the 1,000-fathom curve, a few Blue Marlin were found…most of them at the southern edge around the knuckle and the doughnut. Striped Marlin were found closer to shore on the Cortez side off of Punta Colorado to Gray Rock from 1 to 5 miles out, as well as off the rocky points on the Pacific side of the Cape. Lures were the ‘name of the game’ as few of the larger fish fell for slow trolled Bonita or Skipjack, and the Striped Marlin did not seem to have much desire for Caballito. Lures trolled just a bit on the speedy side of normal worked better; Striped Marlin bit at 8-9 knots while the Blues bit at 10 to 12 knots. I did not hear of any Black Marlin this week but that does not mean none were caught.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This week, boats we had booked brought in Yellowfin Tuna to 130 pounds and I heard of larger fish caught as well. Multiple hookups were not uncommon for boats that were on the fish first thing in the morning and the larger fish, in almost every instance were caught on live bait. The first fish were caught on lures but once the first hookup occurred, a live bait pitched back into the pattern and free-spooled for about 30 seconds got hit fairly quickly. For boats coming up on a school that had already been worked by a couple of other boats, finding the direction the fish were traveling and dropping down a live bait to 100 feet and waiting for the fish worked fairly well. Based on reports for both Captains and anglers this technique worked about 50% of the time. The fish were pretty evenly scattered between due south at the 1,000-fathom line to west of the Golden Gate Banks. The key was to find the right pod of Porpoise. There were decent fish caught and the average was around 30 pounds.
DORADO: The Dorado catch still has not really gotten into high gear, and it may end up being on of our off years based on past history. Normally this time of year we have boats coming in flying full outriggers of yellow flags, but for some reason it seem slower this year than last. My fingers are crossed that the reason is that it’s just a late season for these great fish and they will show in numbers sometime in the next two weeks.
WAHOO: We just had the full moon and that normally means a good Wahoo bite. Well, it has not happened offshore yet but the boats working the rocky points up on the Sea of Cortez have been getting some daily shots at fish to 40 pounds and there have been a few incidental fish offshore to 60 pounds, but with no concentration in numbers or in one particular area.
INSHORE: While there have been Grouper and Snapper available to the inshore Panga fishermen, with the calm seas most of the Pangas have been heading offshore for Tuna and Dorado.

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated August 10 – August 17, 2008
(Number 84)

Dear Fishing Friends:

SUMMARY: It rained at the beginning of the week but by the weekend the sun was shining and we were back to very warm daytime temperatures. The mainstem Skeena River came up quite a bit but seems stable and starting to drop. Through all of this the fishing remained pretty good. I have been out to the Nicholas Dean Lodge “out-post” camp twice during the week to shoot some video and still photos. I must say, I had a ball. Be sure to check out the four “NEW” video clips posted this week, two Steelhead (one over 25-pounds) and two double-headers (Sockeye and Coho). All fish caught were on fly rods. At the present time there seems to be a good number of Sockeye, Pinks, Coho and summer-run Steelhead migrating upriver. I have reports of late run Chinook (King) Salmon being landed also. Both spin and fly techniques are working well. The Kitimat River is slow for Chum but it looks promising for Coho. Be sure to check the detailed report and photos from Ron Wakita below.

Skeena Camp Package - spots are still available – let me know if you are interested

Camp is open: July 13 to September 13, 2008

Simply put, Northwestern British Columbia’s Skeena River is the Steelhead and Salmon superhighway. In summer and fall the lower main channel Skeena hosts vast numbers of migrating Steelhead, Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Chums, and Pinks headed for numerous upriver tributaries. To take full advantage of this prolific fishery and offer a high-quality, high-value fishing adventure, Nicholas Dean Lodge has developed an on-river Skeena Camp package. Renowned rivers such as the Babine, Kispiox, Sustut, Bulkley, Morice, Copper (Zymoetz) and Kalum enter the Skeena above our camp and all fish bound for these rivers must pass directly in front of us before reaching their spawning grounds. Only a day or two out of the ocean, at the peak of their size, strength and beauty, these are among the biggest and most aggressive Steelhead and Salmon on Earth. To hook one of these fish on the fly in the broad, lower Skeena is to touch the heart of the wilderness – an experience not to be forgotten!
Cast to the link below for the full package details: http://www.nicholasdean.com/Downloads/Package_SkeenaCampPackage.pdf

Cost of Skeena Camp Package: $2195.00 CDN per person

• 5 days of semi-guided fishing
• 6 night’s accommodation at the Skeena Camp (7 days total)
• Day of arrival includes, meals, accommodation and transportation to and from the airport (no guided fishing)
• Day of departure includes breakfast (no guided fishing)


Arrive Sunday, guided fishing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (5 days) and Depart Saturday. DID I SAY…fish on your own for as many hours as you would like? Another, “fun way” to put it is…FISH UNTIL YOU DROP! (7 days/ 6 nights/ 5 days guided fishing and then fish on your own for the rest of your time).

“The Tyee test fishery shows a great early season return. It appears that this year's run will be one of the strongest in the past ten years. Currently the return is 26% ahead of the ten year average and the commercial fishery is just about to close. Already fish are being caught on the Copper and being seen at the falls on the Bulkley. NOAA has also released promising news on ocean productivity for this and the coming three years”, says Fly Water Travel http://flywatertravel.com

NOW BOOKING FOR 2008 Let me know if I can be of service to book you with the 'best' fishing guide and/or fishing lodges for both river and ocean. There are NO extra charges to book through me, just a lot of free information and advice from a person with years and years of fishing and fish guiding experience. It is like hiring two guides for the price of one. I will promptly answer your questions and concerns. Cast here http://noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm to read more of what I have to offer.

Don’t be disappointed - BOOK your preferred dates for fall Steelhead and Coho now.

Many people book three trips per year to our area; one trip in the spring (March-April-May), one trip in the summer (June-July-August) and one trip in the fall (September-October-November). They love having the same guide but fishing for different fish in different areas.

SKEENA RIVER: The water heights have been up and down but stayed in fishable condition. Fishing for Sockeye is excellent. I also have numerous reports of summer-run Steelhead being caught.

KALUM RIVER: The water is in good shape. The whole river is now closed to fishing for Chinook (King) Salmon. It closed on the upper end on May 25th and now the whole river is closed as of August 6th. The BIG Chinook are left to spawn without anymore fishing pressure. Soon the Coho Salmon will be coming into the river. I guess a few summer-run Steelhead will be coming in also but as far as I know most of the Steelhead are a fall run…coming in around September, October and November.

This is a Classified River year round and can be guided from March 15 through October 15 only. The Steelhead record is 32-pounds. To see a photo of this fish cast to: http://noelgyger.ca/records/Record003.jpg The angler is Dennis Therrien.

KASIKS RIVER: The Coho should start coming in soon.

EXCHAMSIKS RIVER: The Coho should start coming in soon.

CURRENT REPORT and summary for Northern Coastal Rivers:

Fishing Report from: Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters

KITIMAT RIVER: With the poor Chum return on the Kitimat River this year and the daily quota for Chum reduced to zero retention the content of this report has been reduced dramatically. There is a definite void in the angler experience created on the Kitimat by this poor return of Chum. We have become so accustomed to the abundance of the salmon stocks created by the Kitimat Hatchery that it is difficult to fathom such a poor return of any of the species that are being enhanced.

There was a late surge of bright Chum reported by some anglers fishing the Hatchery Island and the gravel bar below the Kitimat Hatchery this week but the rest of the Kitimat River Chum counts remain poor.

The Kitimat Hatchery Brood collection team remains diligent in their efforts to collect their targeted brood stock numbers so we remain optimistic that the Kitimat River Chum stock abundance will return. We are indeed fortunate to have the Kitimat River Hatchery.

On the bright side there has been some early Coho caught this week and the odd late Chinook still being hooked by unsuspecting anglers using light gear. The early return of Coho is bright.

DOUGLAS CHANNEL: Halibut and Bottom fish catch numbers remain really good on the Douglas Channel. David Payjack fishing with two of his fishing partners reports, 'The three of us hooked into 13 halibut in total. We landed a total of 10, kept 6, released 4 and lost 3. The largest halibut for this trip was 87 lbs. Along with the lingcod, snapper, sea bass and other cod this trip to the open water sure turned out to be worth it, even with such a late start on Saturday. Wish all of the trips were like this'.

Coho catch numbers are also improving on the outer waters of the Douglas. Alain of Alain's Deep Sea Charters reports boating 16 Coho on his last trip. Alain also caught a 20lb halibut while trolling for Coho. This must have been a nice surprise!


Hi Ron, Actually 53 pounds according to the chart. James pulled it in himself and is his biggest to date. The first time I took him halibut fishing when he was about three he would not come out of the cuddy because the halibut was 'too scary'. Seven years later the fish don't seem so bad. John

Sam Avila of Ocean Breeze Charters reports boating 26 Coho and 8 halibut on his last trip with clients. John from Blue Heron Charters reports a great day on the Douglas with his clients. Judging by the smiles in the picture, a great time was had by all.

The Kitimat Harbour fishery is still spotty but there are some big tides in the next few days that will help migrate more Coho up to this end of the Douglas. Stay Tuned! Regards, Ron Wakita

Fishing Report and Photos from: Nicholas Dean Lodge

Chad Black reports the Skeena River “out-post” camp had a very successful first week. The fly fishing has been reasonably good. Many happy clients leaving for home with sore arms and “amazing” fish stories (how the big one got away…a common theme). ONE did NOT get away! New clients are coming in today looking to break any records. Water has been up but the river remains fishable. Sockeye has been good. Pinks have been slow. Coho has been good. Steelhead has been good.

Tight line and screaming reels…

Fishing Report and Photos from: Steelhead Heaven

Skeena River Report – August 16, 2008
Summer in Skeena Country is a wonderful time of year, Salmon and Steelhead are running and the fish are always splashing as you Jetboat the green emerald water.
This day begins with a misty morning as I start the motor on the Jetboat. The fog is so thick I can see maybe 10 meters in front of me. I idle the boat from the small creek and suddenly feel the force of the mainstem Skeena River, and it turns the boat and wants to take us down river. I power up and the boat is now getting an upstream motion, I barely see the sand bar in front of me, it is littered with a dead fall of logs, probably from many miles above. I cut back on the throttle to get my bearings straight. My client for the day is Mr. Hirakawa, he looks at me with confidence and I wonder if I should pull over and wait for the hot sun to burn off the morning mist. I think not, and find my route into paradise and upstream we go. Within a minute or two the sun peaks thru the morning freshness and we arrive at a pool I call forever. Surrounded by waterfalls and jagged mountains this pool is a full day fish, not many walk the entire distance without a break.
Hirakawa makes effortless casts time and time again waiting for that pull of a sea run Steelhead. As you can see in the pictures below Hirakawa has a tight line on a chrome hen and she is priceless. Also attached is Big Steelie Phil with a beauty 80cm Skeena Steelhead. Our threesome Alexi, Eric and the German Boy did a overnighter with me and we traveled the area for Chinooks on the fly, Alexi did just the thing and his video is on Hook TV. When the Chinook felt the pull of the spey rod, he went ballistic and the sound of Alex’s drag singing is what makes us drool! Eric did a fine job banking some fresh fish during his stay and the golfer from Ontario is all smiles for the camera.
River conditions are coloring up as the hot sun has the rivers on rise and some of the tributaries are milking the Skeena, still allot of fish moving thru for the next month or so. Guests arriving next week are the David Party, tight lines. Report and Photo by Tracey John Hittel
