Dorado Heats Up as Lowell Dampens Update Sept. 14… - bajafly - 09-14-2008 Endless Season Update 09/10/2008 REPORT #1131 "Below the Border" Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996 East Cape Update Sept. 14… Friday skies were blue and it was business (fishing) as usual. Marlin action still was dismal. Dorado action picked right back up and while few boats have been going out the ones that did had good scores. Yellowfin tuna were there but mostly small fish. It is probably going to take a few days for the beaches to clear up and be worth checking out. As predicted, the dorado action heated up in the wake of Karina. While most were schoolie-sized there were a few larger fish mixed in. By the weekend another tropical depression “Lowell’ entered the picture. After heading out to the west, Lowell made a hard right turn back toward Southern Baja. During the storm, few boats that have gone out today delayed until 9:30 when the rain quit. As soon as the storm passes we would expect the dorado action to resume. The tuna action had slowed somewhat before the weekend as well. Inshore the water is off color from the wind waves caused by TD Lowell. Water temperature 76-87 Air temperature 74-91 Humidity 90% Wind: S 14 to 20 knots Conditions: Mostly Cloudy Visibility 6 miles Sunrise 7:04 a.m. MDT Sunset 7:27 p.m. MDT Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico Another week of rain kept most of the boats close to home this week. According to some of the commercial pangas the yellowtail, dorado and small tuna were still in the same area near Cabo Lazaro but no one was out to fish them. In the Esteros, the combination of stormy weather and big tides prevented any fishing at all this week. Bob Hoyt Water temperature 60 - 77 Air temperature 73 -90 Humidity 100 % Wind: NW 18 to 24 knots Conditions: Mostly Cloudy Visibility 3 miles Sunrise 7:12 a.m. MDT Sunset 7:36 p.m. MDT Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico With the recent rains, the blue water has moved out to the 15 mile mark, with a distinctive weed line defining the separation of off colored water and the blue water. The demarcation line is also holding game fish. Martin, on the 35 foot cruiser Nautilus, fished the weed line for this last 5 days straight, averaging at least one 20 pound plus dorado and 2 sails a day. His 5 day total was 11 sailfish and 6 dorado. September is usually the wettest month of the year for us, but most of the rain comes at night, with the fleet being able to fish every day so far. The only problem we had with the weather this week was, due to the heavy outflow from the rivers, the inshore water was murky. Plus, the waves along the shoreline this week were very high. These two conditions combined for very tough roosterfish fishing.
