[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]EAST CAPE AND MAGDALENA BAY FISHING CONDITIONS[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Pretty Consistent fishing all week with nice weather along with a little heat. As usual, the East Cape is providing plenty of variety and as long as you don’t insist on large tuna (too far, too few), you are going to have a great fishing trip.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Be sure to read Ed Zieralski’s feature Saturday’s edition of the San Diego Union. [/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]AIR & SEA – Calm seas, hot with some breeze and clouds to cool things off in the afternoon[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Temperature 91° F / 81° F[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Humidity 94%[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Wind SSE at 7 mph [/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Moon Phase First Quarter[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Water Temps in the 80's[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size] [ul] [li][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]OFFSHORE: On the billfish front there were more sailfish than stripers, it was still a long boat ride for the larger tuna and the larger dorado continued to make a good showing[/size][/font][/li][/ul]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size] [ul] [li][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]INSHORE: Still my personal favorite with plenty of choices, roosters including some bigun’s, dorado, football tuna, skipjack, jacks, ladyfish and pargo. Wow! So many choices and so little time. [/size][/font][/li][/ul]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size] [ul] [li][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BEACH: Mornings are great and afternoons can be good if the breezes aren’t too strong. [/size][/font][/li][/ul]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BILLFISH – Sailfish providing the best action up towards Punta Pescadero and out among the shark buoys.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]YELLOWFIN TUNA – Fair on the inside for the smaller fish and there are some larger ones quite a ways offshore.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]DORADO - More single cruisers than schoolies [/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]ROOSTERFISH – Seeing some larger fish cruising the seam looking for mullet along Bartle Beach.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]JACK CREVALLE – For some reason there are a few grandes that have taken up residence around the rocky points at Punta Colorada.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Look for the schools feeding on the surface, then shut down up-wind and drift into the school.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]PARGO AND CABRILLA – There seem to be a few around most of the rocky points.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]SIERRA – Mostly an incidental catch.[/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Offshore temperatures continue to creep up and some of the exotics are beginning to show up for the fall: Dorado fifteen to twenty miles outside the Entrada, tuna a bit further out and a few marlins mixed in as well. Up in the esteros the action has began to pick up as well. Snook up toward Devil’s Curve, corvina at the bridge and near the pier. A few quality leopard grouper at Mario’s spot. [/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]CORVINA – Pier and Bridge provided the best action earlier in the week.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]SNOOK – Main channel before you get to Devil’s Curve on the west side yielded several fish to ten pounds.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]HALIBUT – Most of the fish are less than five pounds[/size][/font]
