[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Cloudy and even a small amount of rain graced the East Cape this week, winds continued to be sporadic with a few good days in between.

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· INSHORE: Plenty of sierra to keep everyone flinging flies.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· BEACH: Pretty tough with the early morning being the best before the wind gets going. [/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BILLFISH – Sounds like the tailers being seen began to bite a bit.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]YELLOWFIN TUNA - Look out. These are not the football variety.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]DORADO - Most of the fish are above average in size.[/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Late February, and plenty of what could be expected, “whale buzz” more being seen every day at the entrance as well as a few new born. It is difficult to find anyone that wants to talk about fishing. Still a few yellowtail and sierra out beyond the Entrada and even a few bonita and skipjack to play with. Back up in the Esteros the currents have been pretty strong and the fish not very hungry. [/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]CORVINA – Action dropped off dramatically.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
