Henriette a Threat?


Endless Season Update 09/01/2007
REPORT #1078 "Below the Border" Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape

Henriette Meanders to the West
Baja eyes are looking to the south as the usual procession of September storms begins their march up the west coast of Mexico. Hopefully, they will continue out to the west and miss the Baja peninsula.

There was some much welcomed rain earlier this week; not enough to dampen the marlin bite, or even the football-sized tuna bite in front of La Ribera. And finally we have a few small dorado further down to the south of us.

Inshore action remained good for small roosters, pompano and a few ladyfish from the beach and close to shore.

Water temperature 78-87
Air temperature 76-96
Humidity 85%
Wind: NW 8 to 11 knots

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico

Estero action took a backseat this week with the great action outside the Boca.

The dorado action remained consistent throughout the week. The yellowtail action improved near Cabo San Lazero, producing larger fish. There were also more marlin spotted and several released according to Diana Hoyt of Mag Bay Outfitters.

Gobiernos Baja Fishing Tournament scheduled for last weekend was cancelled at the last minute much to the disappointment on the locals who had been pre-fishing all week.

Water temperature 64 - 76
Air temperature 72 -92
Humidity 77%
Wind: WNW 16 to 21 knots
Conditions: Partly Cloudy
Visibility 6 miles

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
I am writing the fish report a few days early due to the imminent arrival of tropical storm Henriette. There is no way of knowing the intensity at this time, but when we get 6 to 15 inches of rain in less than a day, it usually knocks out our internet service for a while.

The tropical storm fairly much says it all, as it is due to hit Saturday, and will probably wipe out the fishing for a few days after. The blue water will be pushed out to maybe as much as 30 miles, and the inshore will be brown and dirty from the debris coming from the numerous rivers we have along the coast.

The blue water will recover the fastest, with the tree laden current lines attracting schools of dorado. Plus, all this week, even though the sailfish fishing has been a bit slow, the blue marlin are still very active. At least 3 blues a day are being hooked by the 10 boat fleet.

Depending on the intensity of the rainfall, the inshore fishery for the roosters and jacks may take up to a couple of weeks to recover.

5:00 am update: The storm bypassed us, and we had some heavy rain last night, but nothing like what I was expecting…only four inches of rain. The port is still closed and will not open until late today.

another view....


This 'loop' shows the actual storm, up to date...you can just make out the 'eye' moving Northwest, and not yet turning 'North' as some of those predictions are showing...we'll just have to wait and see where the winds blow...scarry indeed!
