Find the Porpose - Find the Tuna at East Cape


09/13/2003 REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:

Sat., September 13, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (9/10 - 9/12)

EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS

EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

IN GENERAL: Hot, cloudless days were routine this week. Plenty of football-sized tuna kept the few boats out running from one porpoise school to another. After that action died off it was time to settle down and search for the sailfish attracted by the warm water. While the inshore seems to be recovering slowly from the past few weeks of wind and rain, it is still not worth the effort. Time spent further offshore will be much more productive.

AIR & SEA -

Water temperature 80?-87?
Air temperature 77? - 93?
Humidity about 83%
Wind Calm
Conditions (FEW) : 5,000
Visibility 15 miles
Sunrise 7:04 a.m. MST
Sunset 7:24 p.m. MST

Sept. 18 Last Quarter Sept 25 New Oct. 2 First Quarter Oct.10 Full

? OFFSHORE: Tuna and sailfish or is it sailfish and tuna; anyway, that was
the best action to be found this week.

? INSHORE: Some pockets of clean water beginning to appear, but still overall not ideal conditions.

? BEACH: If you find an area with fairly clean water and some activity, DONT LEAVE IT. The next one may be miles down the beach. In front of the hotels is as good as it gets right now. Wait till next week.

BILLFISH - More sails than stripers and very few blues this week.

YELLOWFIN TUNA - Plenty of footballs and just when you begin to believe you
are safe with your 8-weight, along comes a gorilla-sized tuna and you get dusted.

DORADO - Ho Hum, still waiting for the bonanza.

ROOSTERFISH - Once the water clears up it will heat up again.

JACK CREVALLE - Only a few smaller variety to be found.

BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Look along the color break.

PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few found around the rocky points near Punta Colorada.

SIERRA - Slim pickings this week; besides, who wants to mess with the wire
bite tippet.
