East Cape - Triggers and trumpets
After weeks of beautiful weather and grease calm seas conditions changed up this morning. At 1:30 AM I felt a stiff breeze pass through my open
bedroom door and smack me in the back of the head. The surf started to pound and we woke up to a very grumpy Sea Of Cortez.
Fishing has been very inconsistent this week. Boats targeting marlin are experiencing one to three events a day. Anglers looking to fill coolers are
finding it very difficult. Dorado have completely evaporated from the scene and wahoo are rare. The only really consistent bite is cornet, trigger
and needlefish.
At this time every year thresher shark appear on the East Cape. This year has been no exception. Several are being taken everyday. Personally, I am
not big on fishing for shark but this particular species is excellent table fare and once hooked puts up an admirable battle for fishermen.

I guess I'm a wuss, but I just hate seeing sharks landed and kept...

Threshers are a beautiful animal and important to the health of the ocean. So sad to see them killed like this.

Great post and pictures Mark. Thresher shark is definitely on my bucket list, they are tough fighters and excellent table fare. When I catch one you
can count on pictures of happy neighbors and grilled shark steaks.....
