[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: Again, the offshore reports are slow to good depending on whom[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]you speak with. Sailfish dominated the billfish scene and, just like last[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]week, if you find the right school of porpoise, you can find some quality[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]tuna quite a ways out. Inshore, football-size tuna and skipjack were a[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]slam-dunk. There are still a few mature dorado, but no schoolies to be[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]found. Closer to shore, the roosters are still putting on a good show. I[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]spent a couple of hours on the beach this morning and I remembered why I[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]like October. I think every time I stopped I caught something: jacks,[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]roosters, ladyfish and even a much-maligned needlefish. Considering that I[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]only made about 30 casts for the morning, that's not bad![/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]AIR & SEA - Low 70's in the early morning and 90 or so during the day.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· OFFSHORE: Sailfish your best shot, tuna are still a crapshoot.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· INSHORE: Football tuna and skipjack and very few dorado. Closer to shore[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]you’ll find some quality roosters[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· BEACH: Early morning is fantastic, plenty of sight-casting mid-day and[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]later in the day enough breeze to cool things off and convince you that a[/size][/font]
