Hola Amigos,
This fishing really turned on this week. The long awaited arrival of the dorado finally came, with over 350 dorado landed this week. We saw some nice 35-45 pound bulls, but most of the dorado were in the 10-20 pound range. The tuna bite continues to be the talk at the hotels, with most anglers catching limits each day. We did see a few tuna over 50 pounds, but most were football size. Lots of sashimi being passed around at the bar this week. There were also some really nice pargo caught this week in the 15-20 pound range. Wahoo have also been coming to the docks on a daily basis. Today I say three nice wahoo come in weighing in at 30-40 pounds. The marlin bite continues to be very good, but with most anglers concentrating on all the good eating fish, we didn’t see too many marlin flags flying. The captains did tell me this week that there are a lot of them out there as well as some big blues in the 300 to 500 pound range. The inshore bite continues to be red hot as well, with some really nice jacks in the 35lb. range, lady fish and roosterfish. Some of the other species we saw, but not in any great numbers include sailfish, cabrilla, mako shark and trigger fish. Water temperatures are pushing 80 degrees and the air temperature is now in the upper 80’s to low 90’s in the day with a night time low in the upper 70’s to low 80’s. The fishing is wide open my friends and it’s a great time to be down here in the East Cape. The weather is beautiful and the beers are ice cold, so make your reservations today. Hope to see you all down here very soon. Until next week…..Eddie Dalmau/Baja’s Van Wormer Resorts.
