Whew! Hurricane "Lane" Heads East


Whew! Hurricane “Lane” Heads East



REPORT #1028 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 09/16/06

THE CENTER OF LANE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
LANDFALL ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO LATER TODAY.... NWS.
East Cape
While the locals continue to clean-up after Hurricane John, “Lane” came bobbing and weaving up the Mexican coast. Fortunately, Friday night its course altered to the East and this morning conditions are cloudy but calm.

Tuna and billfish provided the best action offshore most of the week. Back inshore, as the off color water dissipated, there were more dorado to be found under the debris left in John’s wake.

Beach action is sporadic at best with a few ladyfish found near the hotels providing the best action. With the dirty water along the beach, sight casting is impossible. Your best bet is to look for diving pelicans working the sardina schools from La Ribera to Punta Colorada.

Aside from the large swells from Hurricane Lane down below, the weather has been nice. The large swells prevented most of the boats from going out to Thetis Bank where the marlin and dorado action had been great earlier in the week. Last week the dorado were even found in the Entrada when the water temps reached 80 degrees. Back in the Esteros, the pargo action has slowed down from last week’s bite. Still there was decent grouper action up at Lopez Mateos and of course still a few corvina and plenty of spotted bay bass at Devil’s Curve.

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
We really do not know how the fishing is right now. Tropical storm Lane formed only 60 miles out in front of us, and the port has been closed for 4 days now.

We do know the blue water has not come in very much from the 20 mile mark where it was pushed out last week by hurricane John.

And, just like Hurricane John, even though the port was closed and we got rain, we did not get any wind at all. However, I have recorded 9.75 inches of rain since this last Monday (the 11th), almost twice the amount of rain we got from John.

Things should start clearing up soon, and we can get back to fishing.
