Hola Amigos,
I
want to start this week’s fishing report by thanking Anibal Alvarez (boat
dispatcher at Palmas De Cortez) for all the wonderful photos he took for this
week’s report. As you can see from all the great pictures, the East Cape
is still catching some big fish. August and September tend to be some of
the best months because of the migration patterns that traditionally take place
this time of year. The Giant Humboldt Squid have been around now for a few
weeks and that is great news for Blue Marlin and Yellowfin Tuna fishing.
The yellowfin tuna and bull dorado are still being
landed on a daily basis. Some anglers have been lucky enough to land them
relatively close to the hotel, while others had to travel close to 40
miles.
Marlin fishing seems to have dropped off this week, with
less than average amounts of billfish being landed. We expect that to turn
around now that the squid have been around for some time now. Many captains
reported seeing plenty of billfish in the area, but with lots of squid in the
area they just didn't seem to be very hungry.
As
great captains do, when one specie drops off they go looking for another to take
its place. This week that specie was Pargo. We had many reports of
pargo being landed throughout the week and not very far from the hotel.
There were also a few yellowtail caught this week, which is every odd for this
time of year but we'll take it.
That's it for this week amigos. Lots of great
pictures to tell the story this week.
Hope to see you soon on the East
Cape!
