Rancho Leonero Resort, East Cape BCS, Mexico
A report right from the source:
The week of July 6 - July 13, 2014
The Environment:
Clean, clear water. Afternoon winds from the East.
Water – 83-84 degrees inside, 86-88 degrees outside.
Air – Pleasant and cooler this past week; very tropical, with some overcast rainy afternoons. Highs in the low 90s.
The Bottom Line:
Good news on the bait! Finally we are getting some nice sardina! This will definitely help the tuna fishing.
With improving weather, the bite is turning back; call it a 7 on the Rancho Leonero 1 to 10 scale.
Billfish – The billfishing was better this week … a consistent blue marlin bite is helping with one or two being released daily by the fleet. The fishing has improved this week for stripers and sails as well.
Yellowfin Tuna – Mostly 10- to 20-pound fish this past week. There are two areas producing tuna … inside within two miles of the beach between Frailes and Vinorama and outside from 10 to 20 miles out under the porpoise.

Dorado – The dorado were mostly schoolies. These smaller fish are harder to hook up with caballito and ballyhoo, but the sardina were the way to go.

Roosterfish – The gallo fishing is good with some big fish this week! Rincon Bay in about 50 feet of water has been producing the biggest fish. A couple released this week were very close to 100 pounds.
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch …
The roosters are huge and the yellowfin bite has improved as the week progressed.
