East Cape - Glad I don't wear a toup
East Cape - Glad I don't wear a toup
Typically on the East Cape most of the sportfishing operations close up shop for the winter or move boats to Cabo San Lucas. A couple resorts might
leave a boat or 2 in the water for the die hard with high expectations but for the most part strong north winds make conditions almost unfishable 5 or
6 days of the week. Game fish are here but brutal conditions make the wise take the drive south to wet a line.
It is also a time when temperatures drop. There have been winters we have burned more than a cord of wood in our fire place trying to stay
comfortable. The last 2 years winter never arrived. The Sea of Cortez stayed calm the majority of days and we lit up the chimney very few nights. I
still have fire wood in our bodega gathered 2 years ago.
Air temperatures have not plummeted this year as they normally do. I believe it is because sea temp has stayed warmer than normal. But the worm has
turned and since early November anglers have had to hang on to their hats or lose them in the wind. After a 2 year absence, north winds are back, the
surf is pounding and I'm glad I don't wear a toupee. Current East Cape weather can be viewed on our live webcams at: http://www.teamjenwren.com/east-cape-webcam.html
2015 will go down as a very odd fishing year. Springtime brought excellent striped marlin fishing with a few wahoo and dorado in the mix. As we
headed for summer the striped marlin stayed strong, wahoo made a better showing but dorado evaporated. Yellowfin tuna were late in arriving but when
they did it looked like we were off to the races pleasing anglers and filling coolers.
As summer continued blue marlin arrived in numbers, wahoo continued to please anglers but the tuna bite got tough. Excellent striped and blue marlin
fishing along with sailfish continued through the entire season but dorado completely disappeared and boats traveled unreasonable distances in search
of tuna.
We had an unprecedented showing of amberjack, yellowtail and red snapper on the La Ribera bank. The bite lasted for more than 2 months and was an
outstanding alternative to chasing tuna that sometimes were not there.
Now our boats are in dry dock . We have our heads below decks doing required maintenance in preparation for 2016. Turbochargers, heat exchangers,
after coolers and more all need to be serviced and in top shape for the coming season. All of our boats are getting new upholstery and we will be
adding a few other amenities to make it even nicer for our anglers.
Thanks to all that helped make 2015 our best year ever. Team Jen Wren would like to wish everyone a joyful holiday season, and a healthy and
prosperous 2016!
Wrapping up the year. Our company holiday posada.
Tuna showed a little late this season
Here was a dandy
Dorado were absent most of the year
Wahoo provide steady action
Sailfish arrived early
Mixed bag off La Ribera
Yes, it was an unusual year. Many days we landed amberjack, yellowtail, red snapper, football tuna and striped marlin in the same spot drifting
baits.

He probably won't. He takes the high road when people take shots at him for potentially harming a fish. He knows that everyone who gets it knows how
they do things, those who don't aren't his target audience. I could answer the question about the Rooster but those who should know already do.
