The large number of small football sized tuna up and down the coastline from Las Arenas to Cabo Pulmo has caused a shortage of wasabi to go with the sashimi being served in the hotel bars at happy hour.

Dorado action is either big or little, depending on who's talking. Basically for the ones catching plenty, the size is small. If you find the bigger ones, you are lucky to catch one or two.

Few bills collected this week with the exception of sails which have moved in with warmer (hot) water.

Unfortunately the hot water has caused a needlefish bloom, They are as thick as pelicans on a baitball, and they are a downright nuisance snatching anything that hits the water.

Still lots of smaller roosters and jacks up and down the beach but as hot as the weather is, early morning and late afternoon beach fishing makes the most sense. If you insist on going out in the midday sun, use plenty of sun block and take lots of water. Designate one your group as the ???cooler carrier' and wear a hat! There are a few sight casting opportunities to be had if you are patient. Don't overlook the schools of pompano slowly swimming up and down the beach.

Tip: Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the difference between a school of baitfish and the pompano?Ķthe ones you are looking for, look like submerged dinner plates flashing in the sun.
