East Cape Fish Report

8-9-2009
Gary Graham

Some unexpected local weather brought 50 knots of wind and a few sprinkles to the East Cape. Fortunately, it came and went pretty fast and the weather is back to its normal with water temperature around 86 to 87 degrees.

Ample schoolie dorado were found from Punta Colorada to the Lighthouse in the morning. After a brief stop, the boats headed outside for marlin and sails and even farther out 10 to 50 miles where the porpoise schools were holding tuna. The size of the fish ranged from football sized to over 100 pounds.

"There's a great amount of juvenile sardina all along the beach. These baits are mostly an inch long or smaller so I've been fishing small Clousers with good results. There are lots of green jacks, and good numbers of pompano and look down. The roosterfish are numerous as well but they are mostly small fish, 2 or 3 pounders. I did have a bigger fish, maybe a 10 pounder chase down my fly. He put on a good show with his comb in the air, but he just would not eat".
