East Cape continues to rock and roll
I believe it is safe to say our weather has turned the corner. Water temperature in the Sea of Cortez has dropped from 87-88 to 85 degrees as days
get a little shorter. Walking the beach this morning at day break I could almost feel a chill in the air. Visitors still feel it is plenty warm but
myself being acclimated to the heat and humidity can detect a change.
The difference in weather has not affected aggressiveness of game fish. Billfish, dorado and tuna all have a big appetite and have been pleasing
anglers with no relief for several months now. Last week we had our first double hook up of the season with blue marlin. There was a third fish in
our lure pattern and I'm glad it missed our stinger rig. One blue marlin is a hand full and having 2 hooked at the same time is pure chaos.
Accurate Fishing Products, Jack Nilsen recently fished with us for a few days. Not only does Jack make the finest reels on our planet he has become
very proficient at putting together great video that depicts the action. If you love to fish this will surely give you a stiffy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha5r76NVq1o
In other news this is the height of our sea turtle season and conservationist Noe Ariza has harvested more than 20,000 eggs from our beaches for
incubation in our East Cape nursery. Baby turtles from the nursery are now being released daily.
Jen Wren skipper Chuy Cota aka "Captain Tuna" was the big money winner in the Buds and Suds invitational last week bringing the largest tuna to the
scale both days of the event.
