Van Wormer Resorts Fishing Report 9/16/11
by Eddie Dalmau, Van Wormer Resorts
Hola Amigos….Another great week for tuna fishing in the East Cape. The biggest tuna this week was landed by Ryan Alsop on the El Loco II on Saturday. Ryan landed a very nice 200lb. Yellowfin. Ryan commented about his tuna on last weeks fishing report, but keep in mind that the fishing report is done on Friday and that any fish caught on Saturday are included on the following week’s report. Along with the 200 pounder, we saw lots of tuna in the 50-70 pound range, with many football size tuna as well. Even though the tuna bite continued to be the big story in the East Cape, the bigger news this week was the return of the dorado. We haven’t been seeing the number of dorado that we have grown accustomed to in the East Cape for a few weeks and this week we started to see that turn around. Several of our clients came in with dorado in the 10-20 pound range. The biggest reported was landed by the super panga Siboney which weighed in a nice 40lb. dorado this week. Hopefully the trend will continue and the dorado number will continue to grow. Not too many billfish were landed this week, but it wasn’t because they weren’t out there. With so many tuna and the arrival of the dorado schools, many just were not interested in fishing for billfish, although many were spotted. The Julkate did land a nice 350lb. blue marlin this week, but that was about the biggest news as far as billfish go. The Rooster bite remained solid this week, with some nice 20-35 pounders landed. We also saw some nice pargo this week, with the Champagne landing the biggest at close to 80lbs. The air temperature continues to range for a high in the upper 80’s to low 90’s and an overnight low in the upper 70’s. Water temperatures are holding steady in the mid 80’s. That is it for this week from the East Cape. Hope to see many of you in the weeks to come.

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..
