October Sizzles On!
Endless Season Update 10/06/2007
REPORT #1083 "Below the Border" Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
The outstanding fishing at East Cape continues to sizzle, making up for the slower fishing earlier in the season. Strong billfish and dorado action
provided lots of smiles this week.
The sailfish turned on this week, adding to the blue marlin and striper mayhem that began just a few miles offshore and continued out as far as forty
miles. John Lowther, of Phoenix, AZ, finished up his trip early in the week and called it one of the best he has seen for his group in several years.
Showing a level of consistency not seen up to this point this year, the dorado action could only be rated as “hot” for the past several back-to-back
weeks.
Tuna action has slowed somewhat, causing a change in menu from sushimi to chips and guacamole at happy hour.
Lance Peterson spent his week plying the hot sand beaches and reported consistent action on smaller roosters and jacks to 5lbs. When you find the
sardina in the shallows, you’ll find ladyfish, pompano, and the odd pargo or cabrilla rounding out the catch. Small to mid-sized sardina patterns tied
“sparse” have yielded good results.

Bob Hoyt, Mag Bay Outfitters, reported excellent bay fishing again this week including grouper, several snook and a good surface bite for bragging
sized corvina
Outside was only fished lightly but the bull dorado and small YFT’s were plentiful.
A few yachts making their way down the coast toward Cabo are reporting 78 degree water and a few marlin as well as dorado schools all the way down the
ridge.

The 82° blue water is only about 5 miles off the beach, and the contact line is producing dorado and yellowfin tuna.
The dorado action is steady, but the tuna are breezing in and out. It’s more of a matter of luck and being at the right place at the right time for
the tuna. The dorado are averaging a hefty 20 pounds, with several much larger being taken. The tuna are ranging from footballs, up to about 60
pounds.
The sailfish action is at the 12 mile mark, and we are averaging about 2 fish a day/per boat.
The roosterfish action is still excellent all up and down the coast. However, with the entire fleet consisting of only 4 or 5 boats a day, there are
very few people fishing the roosters, and few being reported.

Is "Bud" still there?
Bud never has to worry about how good the fishing is. If it's bad he'll still be there when it gets good.
Ah, to be free like that.
