East Cape Guides Fishing Report 9/4/2011

From our friends at Cass Tours

Water- 87-88 The water is is little cooler than in the last month. Flat mornings and afternoon easterly breezes out of the East.

Air- Cooler this week. A couple of afternoon rain showers and a cool easterly wind every afternoon has made for very pleasant much cooler days.

Very good fishing this week. Lots of tuna with nearly all anglers limiting, a strong but largely ignored bill fish bite, the best Dorado fishing of the year, and as usual great inshore fishing with lots of big Roosters released. The hotel was only sending out two or three boats a day Monday through Thursday, on Friday and Saturday over ten. All boats very late start for Dorado, some nice fish mixed with the tuna taken this week. Lots of Sailfish, Stripers adnd Blues around. Very light pressure, boats trolling on their return from the tuna grounds outside are having luck.

Yellowfin- From 15 to 40 miles off, due North. average fish are between 20 and 45#,s. Free swimmers are closer inside, outside the tuna are under Porpoise. Lots and lots of tuna round, almost all anglers limiting. Cedar plugs have been very effective. Some very big fish in the 300# class are taking Marlin lures.

Dorado- Best week of the year. Not wide open, but more taken this week than all this year. Mixed with tuna and very spread. Live sardine working best. Average fish around 10#'s largest 35..

Billfish- Very spread. Lots around, very light pressure. Most taken on the troll returning from the tuna grounds. An even mix of Sails and Stripers. One or two Blues were released this week.

Inside- Big Gallos again this week. 50 to 60#ers are being released daily. Lots of big Pompano..A decent Pargo bite..

Buena pesca,
