East Cape - Wanted!


East Cape - Wanted!
Just when I thought the weeks of outstanding weather the East Cape has been experiencing couldn't get any better it has. Tropical disturbance Eleven_E passed by in the Pacific early last week pushing up cooler water and lowering humidity. While we didn't receive any harsh weather from the storm overnight sea temps dropped 5 degrees and went from an ugly greenish to beautiful blue.

The drop in temperature perked up our billfish bite which was starting to fade. Some boats have still found it tough but others have had constant action with sailfish, striped and blue marlin. I have seen a few dorado flags this week but word has it they are all dinks. I know El Regalo did bag a nice 40lbs fish.

Yellowfin tuna continue to play hardball. Fleet boats have been traveling 40 miles and more in every direction trying to satisfy anglers with tuna fever. Porpoise schools offshore have been hard to locate and many are not holding tuna. To the south, below Frailes drifting high spots has been the best bet but a slow pick. Some days the fish will bite better than others. At best it is not steady action. Bait of choice has been dead sardines which are sometimes not available We had one group bring 40 pounds of frozen squid. I thought it would be a bonanza but found the tuna to be more finicky than my cat. Most fish have been 30 to 40 pound grade. It has taken light fluorocarbon and small hooks to get bit. That has made long battles and lost fish for anglers without the patience or skill.



WANTED!



Blue marlin release



Sailfish putting on a show



Ben Lazar playing deck hand. He and his buddies found it a little tough but made the most of it.



Squid in the hood. We scooped this out of the water still alive after a sailfish spit it up.



Nice grade tuna



Yo-yoing a diamond jig paid off



Not as bad as it looks. The rain has been welcome and it hasn't been wind related
