EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND IZTAPA, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: A few dorado and some sierra close to shore were the best anyone could come up with this week. Wind was up and down and caused enough wind waves to make it tough to fish the beach. Olive-backed See Thru Deceivers will do the trick for the sierra, but don't forget the wire.

o OFFSHORE: Still a few dorado to be found scattered through out La Palmas
bay with the shark buoys to the North near Punta Pescadero.
o INSHORE: Sierra seemed to be the best bet this week.
o BEACH: Wind waves continue to pound the beach causing difficult conditions.
BILLFISH - No action to speak of this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Slim and none.
DORADO - Fair at best.
ROOSTERFISH - Few to be found.
JACK CREVALLE -More wind than fish.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Only an occasional bonito school to be found.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Floating lines and poppers over the rocks can be
productive . . . and lots of fun.
SIERRA - Gray light just at dawn is best before the sun gets too high.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The biggest news in more ways than one is the whale and calf population continues to grow by leaps and bounds. There’s fair action for yellows at the entrada and a few leopard grouper as well. The numerous esteros continued their slow but steady pace with corvina being the top catch.

YELLOWTAIL - Mostly small firecrackers.
CORVINA - No end in sight.
SNOOK - A few smaller ones at Devil’s Curve.
HALIBUT - Punta Belcher produced a few.
SIERRA - Look for the bird schools.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Our blue water current has cooled down a bit. Depending on the area, it has dropped from a consistent 80º to 83º to about 76º to 80º. This has slowed the sailfish action some, but the giant yellowfin tuna prefer the cooler water and have shown up in large numbers.
We are finding the tuna anywhere from 3 miles to 30 miles. Most boats are scoring on the large fish by trolling a live black skipjack tuna through a school of porpoise. At least 10 fish over 200 pounds have hit the dock in the last few days.
Boats searching for sailfish are raising between 5 to10 fish a day, and hooking an average of about 3 to 4.
A lot of dorado have also shown up. Most boats, when fishing within 3 miles of the beach, are getting 3 to 4 dorado between 15 and 25 pounds. Luis Marciel, on the panga “Gringo Loco,” found a 62 pound dorado for his client.
The inshore action is steady with sierras and a few large jack crevalle, but the roosterfish are scarce.
Water Temperature 73º-86º
Air Temperature 73° - 83º
Humidity 74%

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Where have all the fish gone? The last week has been a tough one by
Guatemalan standards. The local fleet was only able to average 5 releases for 10 bites. The high boat for the week went 14 of 21, and one boat was able to release 9 of 17 on the fly. The action on dorado was steady. One marlin was hooked and lost. The tuna action is spotty. Inshore, there was no one out, so we have no report. Next week Gary Graham will be joining us in Guatemala for 10 days. We have some openings if you would like to come along. If you would like some intensive instruction to improve your skills, Gary
will also be conducting a billfish clinic in April.
