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!
