Right Place, Right time…


Endless Season Update 09/15/2007
REPORT #1080 "Below the Border" Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape

Trash Fish?
After a slow start September action finally picked up with good catches offshore. Though the water cleaned up after the recent storm, it left behind enough debris to provide cover. The dorado action was some of the best we have had this year. Fish from the teens up to the forty pound class kept most rods bent much of the day. The tuna action remains in front of La Ribera. Unfortunately, it is not exactly a secret spot so either be early or do without. Once the boats begin to stack up the fish go too deep for the fly.

Offshore, marlin action continued with blues and stripes providing the best bite with a few sails mixed in.

Beach action also cranked up with more sardina showing from La Ribera to the Lighthouse. ‘Right place, right time’ is the rule when the small jacks and roosters begin slamming the sardina against the beach and it can be a footrace to get to them before it is over.

School of gaff-top pompano also can be found feeding along the shore. Use fluorocarbon tippet (8 – 12 lb.) and small flies and a slow retrieve.

Water temperature 78-87

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico

Offshore action picked up right where it left off after Henriette. Plenty of smaller dorado and yellowtail can be found at the pinnacles in front of Boca de Soledad. Farther out, more marlin are showing every week. Football sized YFT’s were also found inside of the Thetis Bank in a fairly large area stretching back toward shore.

This week marked the beginning of the opening of Shrimp Season so most of the locals opted not to fish in the Esteros.


Water temperature 64 - 76
Air temperature 74 -92

Wind: NW 11 to 14 knots
Conditions: Partly Cloudy
Visibility 8 miles

Sunset 7:31 p.m. MDT

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
Not much is happening this week. There are so few clients fishing, there are not many boats on the water. Those boats which are getting out with a client, are only averaging about one sailfish per day and maybe one or two dorado.

The commercial pangeros are still working the areas out about 30 miles and getting four or five dorado apiece, averaging about 25 pounds.

No action has been reported on the inshore for the roosterfish.

Thanks for the update. Who are you getting your reports from in Mag Bay? We're headed there in October and wanted some insight on what's what.

This report pretty much agrees with osprey's.
