Sails and Tales Winners


REPORT #988. ?Below the Border? Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 12/10/05
Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
The good sailfish action of this last week has died off somewhat. For the fleet, we are averaging about two sailfish a day per boat. However, most boats are also getting about one good 20+ pound dorado for dinner.

Fly fishermen are not having any luck at all on the roosters, but there are a few large jack crevalle eating the feathered hook. These fish are averaging a respectable16-pounds. Black skipjack tuna and cabrilla are rounding out the inshore action with the long rods.

Our Sales and Tales Tournament was completed on Monday with Cecilia ?Pudge? Kleinkauf, visiting all the way from Anchorage, taking first place; with second place going to Joe Dowdell, Marathon, Fla. For all the details and results go to http://www.bajafly.com/sailsandtales/sailsfinal.asp

Recent reports this week are that the weather was absolutely perfect and the sailfish were ready to rock. Boats leaving the dock by 7 and began fishing around 9 a.m. It was teasers in the water and only a few minutes before the action began. A few of the boats reported double digit days with at least one doing it all on the fly.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico

Water temperatures continue to slowly cool and the action offshore has begun to creep back down to normal. Still a few stripers to be found, but not a bonanza it was last month. Also still a few dorado and tuna to be found inside the bank.

Last week, Bob Vanian of http://www.976bite.com/ and Bob Woodward fished one day in the Pacific about 40 miles out and in 72 degree water and caught several tuna and a few dorado. They had much better luck inside the bay where they fished three days and caught snook, pargo, corvina and a white sea bass in the 30-pound range. Capt. Hook, a boat out of Dana Point, Calif., with local guide Saul, caught four nice snook.

East Cape
Computer Generated Forecast
Latest model data for Los Barriles. Saturday, December 10, 2005. (Lat=23.79, Lon=-109.7)
Date Saturday, December 10

Above is the computer model for the North winds at East Cape. If you have the time to wait out the wind, the fishing is still good on the calm days. Still plenty of billfish, as well as a few dorado and tuna. Sierra are dominating the inshore, so a bit of wire might be in order. The tin boaters try to get out at gray light fish for an hour or two and high tail it back to the beach before the winds kick up.
Lane Garret sent us the following report:
The weather has been cool and windy most days. I have seen a few cruisers returning with what appear to be at least limits of 10- to the occasional 40-pound dorado. There are quite a few stripers still around and a friend of mine had a 250-pound class blue up to leader on Tuesday. The beaches have been hammered by surf and wind.
