REPORT #973. “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Last week I said “Talk about choices. East Cape in the summer is like trying to guess what is behind doors 1 . . . 2 . . . or 3.”
Well, I picked #3 and that was not a good choice. Hilary bopped in on Sun. (8/21) dumping enough rain to be a nuisance. I flew in on Mon. and it was still raining when I walked off the plane. Tues. (8/23) a film crew arrived and the “Curse of the Camera” began. SO you don’t care about my problems, what about the fishing you ask? First day out with camera crew and angler was Wed. and we raised 10 sailfish, cast to 7 for one solid hookup that broke off in the backing. Thurs., wind and rain chased everyone back in early. However, a few lucky anglers had some action Al Larson fishing with Dave Cooper from Denver landed his first blue marlin estimated to be approximately 200 lbs. on the fly which was quite an accomplishment by anyone’s standards.

Yesterday (8/26), more unsettled conditions, but by mid-morning the sea began to lay down and it was a beautiful day. Tuna were under the porpoise, sardina being sold at La Ribera, several multiples on billfish including, blues, stripes and sails finished up the week on the upswing.
Today we are back on the beach in search of Bubba or anything else that wants to play. Hopefully the weather will stay settled down for a few days and Irwin will continue its march toward Hawaii.

The entrada continued to produce good fishing including grouper, yellowtail and a few sierra as well. If you are looking for something a little larger, there has been a pretty good marlin show 240˚-210˚ five miles off. Enrique Soto reported that the esteros (estuaries) had been slow with little bait to be found anywhere.
Up at Lopez Mateos, outside the Boca (mouth) there has been plenty of good-sized Dorado to provide non-stop action. Also, there’s plenty of small yellowtail to be found. Further out at the Thetis Bank, there were also reports of a fair show of marlin reported.

We have had quite a turn-around in the fishing and the conditions this last week. The fishing can only be rated as poor. We have had a lot of tropical storms forming just off the coast here. Before they build in intensity and head further out to sea, we have been getting a little wind and a lot of rain. This has pushed the 82º blue water out a couple of miles off the beach. There is only about a one sailfish per day average per boat.
The inshore has also been taking a beating. With the large quantities of dirty water coming out of the rivers, the visibility is poor, and the fish are scattered.
The one highlight is the rivers have also pushed out a lot of trees and debris, which should start producing Dorado in a few more days.

This week few Sportfishing boats ventured out. For those that did releasing sails were in the low digits with some Dorado in the 10 to 25lb.class. The local captains are saying that the water is unseasonably warm which accounts for the low sailfish numbers. The last two days of the week saw strong winds and rough seas.
