FAT CHICKS AND FLAT FEET
Marlin and sailfish have taken center stage on the East Cape this week. Less dorado then previous weeks and smaller tuna are also providing action.
There are still a few cow tuna in the area for those lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right time.
Walter Russo was one of the lucky ones and landed a 200 pound tuna on Jen Wren III. Fishing about 5 miles off Punta Pescadero we sighted a pod of
bottlenosed dolphin. They were moving very slow and just milling in the area. Our first pass trolling marlin lures through them showed huge marks on
our fish finder. I suspected the marks were tuna but we couldn't get them to go. We changed to cedar plugs and smaller lures then started chumming
live sardines. Every pass over the dolphin huge marks appeared in the fish finder at about 20 feet but there was no surface action. I decided to stop
the boat and pitch out a live mackerel. As the boat slid to a stop our short teaser rod went off.
Before we could get the other lines cleared the top shot and more than half a spool of 80 spectra had been ripped off the Accurate BX2-30 reel Walter
was holding. I was just getting ready to back down on the fish when the spool finally came to a stop. The fish stayed out toward the horizon and I was
beginning to wonder if in fact it was a tuna. My thought was maybe a blue marlin or even that we had hooked a dolphin. Walter kept the pressure on but
there was no sign of a tail beat. We didn't know what to think. Finally the fish came to color and we were all very pleased to see a cow tuna.
Some guys have all the luck. The following day we fished the bouys off Punta Perico and hung another tuna about 90 pounds.

It doesn't get any better than this!
I couldn't resist posting this flat footed boobie using a sea turtle.

public apology
I just received this mail that has pointed out I may have offended some readers.
Hi Mark,
The lead line “Fat Chicks...” may be humorous to fishermen, and is common in automotive and MC circles. But to ladies who are not fishermen, the
humor is lost.
It’s not a big deal, but I suggest words that don’t offend. After all, we in laid-back Baja enjoy camaraderie all around.
Ron
East Cape
I want to be clear it was not my intention to offend over weight women, people with a medical condition that have flat feet, police officers or
anybody else who took my "lead line" wrong.
Please accept my sincere apology. I will try to be more thoughtful in picking captions for my reports in the future.
Mark
