East Cape Guides Report 6/26/11

From the watery desk of Mark Daugherty

This report is from Eddie Dalmau of Van Wormer Resorts.

Weather was a little windy following the storm Beatriz, but things have cleaned up considerably with fair weather forcasted for the next week. Water is on the cool side south of Punta Gorda, but water on the East Cape is a consistent 84 degrees with high levels of chlorophyll throughout the Sea of Cortez. Bait has been plentiful with very large sardinas. Fishing for Marlin and Dorado has been steady with a few large dorado over 50lbs. coming to the dock everyday. The tuna bite has been all about the school in the north near Cerralvo Island with runs up to 20 miles out. Some boats were rewarded with fish over 100lbs. The roosterfish bite has been EN FUEGO (ON FIRE) with 10-20 fish days in front of La Ribera and some larger roosters being landed off of the lighthouse. All in all, a very good start to the Summer season.
