East Cape - Nothing but bills!


East Cape - Nothing but bills!
It is Easter week and we are experiencing summertime conditions. Most of March has been warm days, calm seas and unseasonalby gorgeous weather. The Sea of Cortez is 75 to 77 degrees, clear, a beautiful blue and teaming with sea life.

Everyday we are sighting manta rays jumping, schools of bottlenose and common dolphin and humpback whales breaching. An early showing of striped marlin has been the main event and for a couple of weeks it was pretty much nothing but billfish. Now, inshore dorado, amberjack and roosterfish are getting in the game.

This morning while getting Jen Wren III unbuttoned to pick up our guests we were surprised by a wahoo in just 20 feet of water. With no bait on board Diego scrambled for a chrome jig. He did get the bite but unfortunately the fish didn't stick. It is just one example that there is never a dull moment while on the Sea of Cortez.

Our bait situation has been a little odd. Typically, this time of year greenback mackerel are plentiful. They are candy bait for our gamefish but have been absent since February. This happens sometimes when there are a lot of bottlenose dolphin around that feast on the mackerel. Also, yesterday we had a striped marlin come unbuttoned and ended up with a squid tentacle on our hook. I'm pretty sure the marlin had eaten the squid and we ended up with a piece of it when the fish came loose. Giant squid = no mackerel. Anyhow, horilitos, caballitos and fresh ballyhoo have been available and getting the job done.



Nothing but bills!


We had a lot of smiling faces this week.


A show you can never get tired of.


Five anglers bagged their first billfish with us this week.


Diego got a lot of practice on the wire.


Late May conditions at Easter.


Our last winter maintenance project


Glad it's done!
