Shrimp and Yellows at Magdalena Bay


MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

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

IN GENERAL: You can tell it is Sept. and shrimp season is open in Magdalena Bay. All the locals want to tell me about shrimping. There are very few doing real fishing, but here goes. Want dorado? As they say, Go West, about six to eight miles should do. If you start seeing some jumping marlin, you have probably gone too far. Plenty of tuna for sashimi to be had closer to the Thetis Bank as well as a few yellows on the pinnacles. Speaking of pinnacles, there is one about a mile south of the entrada that has been producing some nice-sized broomtail grouper if you get deep enough. Back up in the esteros, it must be good because there was no pressure from the locals. Last week, a school of yellows showed up ? are you ready for this? ? at the pier! It was wide open for a short time while creating quite a buzz in sleepy San Carlos.

Water Temperature 69?-76?
Air Temperature 71?-90?
Humidity 96%
Wind Calm
Conditions Clear
Visibility 3 miles
Sunrise 7:11 a.m. MDST
Sunset 7:33 p.m. MDST

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

YELLOWTAIL - Take your pick either the entrada or Thetis Bank.

CORVINA - Either the bridge or pier is a good bet.

SNOOK - Quiet.

HALIBUT - Continuing action for those that are interested. Plenty on the south side of Belchers in skinny water.

SIERRA - A few under the bird schools.

Magdalena Bay Info


Good Luck on your trip we do post updates every week. Most of the fishing at Mag is from a boat. There are only a few spots that fishing from shore is practical. One being the bridge at the entrance to San Carlos. A good contact for you if you do make it over to Magdalena Bay is Enrique Soto, 011 52 613 13 60030 or juse email me at bajafly@usa.net
