MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

Wed., Sept. 10, 2003 Report covers the period Sat. -Tues. (9/06 - 9/09)

IN GENERAL: Big time yellowtail show at the entrada (entrance) drew most of the attention this week. A bit further out, about 15-18 miles west, there were a few dorado and marlin to mess with. Marlin were strung out all the way up to the Thetis Bank. Closer to the bank, the tuna were putting on a fair show. With all the action at the entrada, the esteros (estuaries) took a back seat for the week.

YELLOWTAIL - Best action to date this year at the entrada.

CORVINA - Try the bridge early morning.

SNOOK - No one targeted them this week.

HALIBUT - Find a shallow sandy beach and dredge with a chartreuse Clouser.

SIERRA - Tidal rips with birds diving on them are the best bet.
