East Cape, Baja Sur Mexico Fish Reports

After a month of hot water and by all accounts, slow fishing, the much awaited cooling of the sea temperatures has finally begun. Remembering the old saying about being careful what you ask for, the cooler water that was hoped for, was brought about by or closely followed by, an early dose of north wind. While that may be good news for arriving kite boarders, it's a bummer for fishing.

But not so fast! The wind seems to be what the doctor ordered. While the tuna seem to have disappeared, the dorado are suddenly hanging out around the shark buoys...I think this is the first time this season I could say that with conviction. Plus...drum roll here... the striped marlin and sailfish are back in the game. How long will it last? I wouldn't dare guess, but it is fun-fun-fun fishing for the moment.
