East Cape - Back in 87
Here we are in the second week of October and the craziness of 2015 continues. Basically, dorado and tuna have done a no show all season. We did
have a few moments but nothing consistent to hang our hats on. In the meantime we have experienced an outstanding billfish bite with one of the best
seasons for blue marlin in years. Wahoo have also made a good showing most of the year and help fill some of the void in anglers coolers. The most
unlikely suspects that have been a welcome surprise are amberjack and yellow. They have been bending rods for a couple months now and putting big
smiles on anglers faces.
Our air temperature has dropped and so has the humidity. In the period of a week it has gone from stifling to very comfortable. Wind has tried to
blow from the north a couple days but is not strong. Waves can be heard gently lapping on the beach at night which has become a foreign sound because
it has been silent for so long. This season has brought less wind and more rain than I can ever remember. The landscape from San Jose to Los
Barriles is lush green and looks more like the tropical jungle of Costa Rica than the desertscape of Baja. Sea temps were heading for the low 80's
but yesterday I found myself back in 87.
While the East Cape fleet is struggling to catch quality tuna the cows have shown up in Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific. We are looking forward to
competing in Western Outdoor News Tuna Tournament November 5th and 6th. The event is always a great time and I'm certain this year will be no
exception. The team on Jen Wren III just dropped out because of medical issues which offers a great opportunity for someone wanting to put together a
last minute team.
After the WON Tuna tournament Vaquera will be departing for Mag Bay and offers the trip of a lifetime. Call or email me for more information.

Discovered mama turtle building a nest in front of our place
Jen Wren III on the loose! Hard to believe this heavy stainless ring failed. It was part of our anchoring system.
