Baja Slows . . . Z-What Goes


REPORT #987. ?Below the Border? Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 12/3/05
Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
Yesterday (12/2) was the pre-fish day for our ?Sails and Tales? tournament and Joe Dowdell, Marathon, Fla., was the first one back to the dock with bragging rights with his sail caught on the fly. The rest of contestants seemed to fall in the into the ?Tales? category and could be heard over their margaritas last night saying today (Sat.) would be different on the first tournament day. Weather has been great all week and the number of shots has been increasing daily.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico

Mangrove action topped the list this week with several boats choosing to sneak into Lopez Mateos through Boca de Soledad. John Lyddon?s ?Don Juan? reported a wide-open snook bite with fish from 10 pounds and up along with some fat palmetto amarillo (golden jacks).

Outside, the water temperatures are down to 72 degrees and the striper bite has fallen off significantly with only a handful of bites for the boats fishing at the Thetis and up the bank. Did hear some rumors of larger dorado up toward the Uncle Sam Bank earlier in the week.

Check out my column in December issue of Pacific Coast Sportfishing for more information about fishing the beach on Magdalena Island.

North winds have begun their winter routine of on-again, off-again. There?s still a decent offshore bite on the good (read windless days) and tough on the others. Still a few dorado to be found if your are lucky and the sierra bite has been good for the tin boat fleet.

The blue water is out between 15 and 30 miles and fishing this week has slowed noticeably compared to last week. Boats averaged high single digit releases along with a fair dorado bite throughout the week.
