East Cape Guides Report - August 1, 2014

Well, we have had some high highs and low lows these last few weeks. The weather has be unseasonably wet for this time of year with green hills instead of dry desert. We did have a small chaotic chubasco come through last Wednesday blowing the fleet off the water. It only lasted a few hours but it hit just as the boats were leaving the dock and we were in the middle of it about 4 miles off of La Ribera. 50MPH winds, sideways rain, lightning, sick clients, it was a bit loco. All is calm now as water temps are warming up from last week in 86-88 degree range with 90+ degree water 40 miles offshore from the Terrafin reports. Fishing has been a mixed bag with a really great run of blue marlin last week, tuna from 30-60lbs. just south of Frailes and we found some footballs under the porpoise 40+ miles out. Dorado have been up and down with mostly small dodos coming to the dock and the occasional report of the large 40+lb. fish landed offshore. Striped marlin and sailfish have also been a moderate catch. Roosterfish have been landed and released in front of the Cabo Riviera and some larger units down at Frailes. It's looking like the bite is prime to ramp up soon.

Bloody decks!
