East Cape Fish Report

Gary Graham

Water temps in the low 80's and flat calm seas have offered great conditions for looking but the fish that are found seem not be interested in biting. Even last week's dorado action has slowed to a few fish here and there.

Inshore reports indicated that the great action experienced for the past month has also slowed. Of course, part of the problem is that the recent Swine Flu thing has reduced the normal busy spring season to a trickle of hard core Baja regulars.

Conditions have improved a lot with warmer water and great visibility for sight casting. Add in the numerous schools of mullet along the beach and it's a recipe for good rooster fishing. In the last few days there has been a tremendous amount of jack crevalle, with many in the high teens to twenty pounds.

"There have also been good number of roosterfish ranging from five pounds to well over forty pounds. The true ???grandes' have eluded me this week. One highlight this week was sight casting to an estimated twenty-pound triple tail that eagerly followed the fly right to the beach. However...it just would not close the deal"?ĶLance Peterson
