“Ocho Ocho” - the Place to Go - bajafly - 04-11-2009 Endless Season Update 04/09/2009 REPORT #1161 "Below the Border" Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996 East Cape Best action reported is to the north, close to the 88. Loads of dorado and some marlin. Closer to shore, anything floating seems to be holding schools of small dorado. Same story inshore with a continuing run of quality roosters mixed in with some big-shouldered jacks north of Punta Pescadero all the way to Muertos. Water temperature 67-73 Air temperature 57-87 Humidity 60% Wind: NNW 8 to 11 knots Conditions: Sunny Visibility 10 miles Sunrise 7:03 a.m. MST Sunset 7:38 p.m. MST Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico Outside, the dorado can be found around the shark buoys and the small yellowfin tuna are within ten miles of Boca de Soledad. There’s still some decent action at the Entrada for small yellows and some remaining sierra. Estero action has been spotty. The few anglers fishing there found small snook, grouper and snapper at Devil’s Curve. Water temperature 67 - 73 Air temperature 52 -81 Humidity 55 % Wind: WNW 14 to 19 knots Conditions: Partly Sunny Visibility 10 miles Sunrise 7:10 a.m. MST Sunset 7:47 p.m. MST Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico For all species, the fishing here has really been very slow this week. Historically, this is a typical April trend. Then when the cooler water current moves out, the fishing rebounds after the first week of May. The blue water is still holding between 10 and 12 miles out, but the average is only about 1 sailfish per boat, per day. I was on the beach early this morning watching the night fishermen bring in their catch, and even it was very small. However, this could be attributed to the full moon phase. There was one commercial fisherman who had a few football sized yellowfin tuna, but he said he had to go 50 miles to find them. Even the inshore jack crevalle action, which has been so hot the last few weeks, completely shut off this week.
