Fall stammers for some and roars for others


Endless Season Update Wednesday, October 23, 2011
REPORT #1264 "Below the Border"
Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996

East Cape

After a serious bout of hot water and high humidity, the season is beginning to change and our usual October fishing is finally beginning to happen. Marlin went off in front of La Ribera and caught some napping. Double-digit catches of stripes and sails kept lines tight and rods bent.

Dorado haven’t been over the top this year, but many are saying that this was the week that was. Nothing big but plenty so the reports go.

Inshore, in front of the new development at Cabo Rivera, small roosters were as thick as fleas on a Mexican mutt. Also, some schooling jacks were around to bend the ol’ stick.

The only non-starter was tuna which seem to have taken up residence way further out forty miles or down off the Gordo banks.

Last, but not least, there were even a few wahoo at the cleaning tables this week.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico

According to the fly guys from the East Coast, the place to be for multiple shots at marlin is below Punta Tasco. Bob Hoyt reported the it was pretty much wide open up at the other end, but yachts are reporting the fish are spread out from a few miles out from Lazaro all the way up to the double 23's on the ridge.

Cabo San Lucas

I have been here for the past 10 days and it is really a tale of two fleets according to some. The tournament boats searching for BIG money-winning fish were really put to the test. Forty-two boats in the first event failed to bring any billfish to the scale over 300 pounds during the two-day event. On the other hand, 100 teams in the Black and Blue over three days of fishing only came up with four qualifiers. In all fairness there were lots of blues, stripes and sailfish released during boat events, however only blacks and blue counted.

There was a good dorado bite on the Pacific side, a few yellowfin tuna and inshore the usual suspects which included some roosters, jacks and pargo.

Early November will bring the WON Tuna Jackpot and expectations are high for some cow-sized tuna to find their way to the scales in the two-day event.
