USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Aug. 28, 2004. Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (8/21-8/27)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
CONDITIONS EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
EAST CAPE
IN GENERAL: With tropical storms swirling out to the west several
hundred miles to the south, the dorado and tuna just kept on coming.
Both are spread up and down the coast close enough to allow for a second
cup of coffee before heading out. It is that time of year when part of
the locals’ morning routine is to check their favorite internet weather
site to make sure everything is copasetic. There was a little rain and
some wind in the PM, but not enough to put a damper on the continuing
tuna/dorado snap.
AIR & SEA -
Water temperature 81-88
Air temperature 82-94
Humidity about 71%
Wind: SSE 6 mph
Conditions: T Storms
Visibility 10 miles
Sunrise 6:59 a.m. MDT
Sunset 7:39 p.m. MDT
August 29, Full; Sept. 6 Last Quarter; Sep. 14 New; Sept. 21, First Quarter
OFFSHORE: Mid-morning after a romp with the tuna and dorado, you can
produce some exciting action for sails.
INSHORE: The only thing that has changed this week is that the tuna
and dorado are a bit fatter. Still close to shore and spread out enough
to give the flyrodder a chance.
BEACH: Lots of variety this week: jacks, lookdowns, ladyfish, pompano
and small roosters with an occasional Bubba showing up
BILLFISH – Nothing like what looks like a jailbreak of sails chasing
every teaser behind the boat to have anglers bumping into each other
trying to get to their 12-weight.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Fatter fish this week, with lots of 10-weight
candidates and a few 12-weights as well.
DORADO – Same deal with the dorado, bigger; someone must be spiking the
sardina.
ROOSTERFISH\\JACK CREVALLE – Olive Clousers are working for us with a
slow, abrupt, retrieve.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Plenty of schools feeding on the surface
from Rancho Leonero to Punta Colorada.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Look for the dark shadows on open sand beaches.
Bounce that Clouser along the bottom and you may get lucky.
SIERRA – Pretty far down on the target list right now.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: According to the Terrifin SST, most of the warmer water is
down toward Tasco. The shark buoys in that neighborhood are providing
some fair dorado action with a few marlin spotted as well. Esteros are
providing consistent action for corvina, grouper and pompano.
Water Temperature 67-78
Air Temperature 75-86
Humidity 33%
Wind SSW 8 mph

Visibility 5 miles
Sunrise 7:06 a.m. MDT
Sunset 7:48 p.m. MDT
August 29, Full; Sept. 6 Last Quarter; Sep. 14 New; Sept. 21, First Quarter
YELLOWTAIL – Watch for the bird schools near the entrada They are up
and down so you have to be quick.
CORVINA – Some action on poppers this week. Several in the 5 pound class
SNOOK – A few in the 3-6 pound class on an incoming tide at Los Barriles
estero.
HALIBUT – Mostly smaller ones.
SIERRA – Nope.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 82º blue water is only a half mile off the beach. The
sailfish action picked up this last week, from only 1 to 2 fish average
to boat, to a fairly solid 3 fish per boat per day. The incredible
roosterfish action is definitely holding up with the fish still
averaging between 35 and 40 pounds.
I saw Adolpho leaving the municipal pier area yesterday in his panga
“Dos Hermanos.” When I called out to him as to how he was doing on
roosters he opened the palms of both hands and yelled back 'muchos.”
Asking about the sailfish, he just gave me the two thumbs up sign.

the roosters are laying in wait until someone shows up to play.
