| Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
| Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

Endless Season Update October 03, 2010
REPORT #1232 'Below the Border'
Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
There was a little stutter in the action
and then after a tropical storm breezed
over the top of East Cape. Then as
October arrive the fishing roared right
back to life. Football sized tuna to
eighty pounders with some much larger
being lost after long tedious battles
that were won by the fish.
Meanwhile the nice sized dorado good
sized up to twenty.
Inside of ten mile the sailfish and
stripers were biting and there were
enough blue surprise bites make it tough
to decide which tackle to use.
Inshore action remained good for a
variety of species including roosters,
small jacks, lady fish and pompano
though there were more school sized fish
and less Bubba class.
There were a few larger fish seen from
the beach but they were tough to get to.

Just like that the wahoo kick off the
season on the Thetis and those in the
know are there in a heartbeat. Lance
Peterson raced up from East Cape and
filled the cooler in one day ith 6 nice
sized wahoo. I swung by the following
day and he passed off a fillet.
He also added that he was bit within a
minute of dropping the Marauder in the
wake. Later that night I delivered it to
Jill and Jonathan at their terrific
Tailhunter restaurant in La Paz. In no
time it was back at my table prepared
two different ways. According to the few
boats fishing the bank there were
stripeys in zone as well.
Inshore? I forgot to ask

There is not much to say about this week
for the fishing. The 83° blue water is
still out at the 1,000 fathom curve (30
miles), but there is clean water within
6 miles of the beach.
There are very few people fishing and
tourism is slow. Most of the captains
are taking this time for the opportunity
for their annual maintenance of the
boats. They are pulling them out of the
water for new paint, bottom paint,
repairing last year’s dings in the fiber
glass, etc.
The one bright note is the heavy rains
we experienced this year have let up and
the rain season is just about over. This
will bring the blue water back close to
the beach, and most of all, clear up the
inshore waters for our anticipated
excellent action for roosters.... …Ed

The water warmed right back up and with
it came the big marlin. Last Sunday a
blue marlin was weighed in at #780, and
just yesterday (Saturday) there was a
reported #1,200 brought in, also a blue
marlin. That last fish has not been
confirmed by me as I just heard about it
yesterday in the evening. There have
been plenty of nice fish in the 200-300
pound class caught as well, and there
have been striped marlin found on the
Pacific side in the slightly cooler
water.
There has been little change in the
yellowfin tuna action. The fish have
been found in all the usual places, the
Outer Gordo Bank, the Inman Bank, the
1,000 fathom line on the Cortez side, 40
miles to the south, south of the San
Jaime Bank, and just the other day we
had a brief showing of decent fish just
five miles off of the lighthouse on the
Pacific side. Most of the fish had been
football-sized, but those off of the
lighthouse had fish to 120 pounds, and
those off of the banks have been
producing occasional fish that were that
size and even larger. Almost all of the
larger fish on the banks have been
caught on live bait, while around half
the fish found offshore in the porpoise
have been lure-caught fish.
Good sized dorado remained decent with
an average weight of around 18 pounds
with lots of fish in the 30 to 35 pound
class. We had one angler land a bull
dorado that weighed over 50 pounds,
possibly as large as 60 pounds, along
with several others in the 30 pound
class, and they released plenty more.
Most boats were able to get limits of
these fish without trying hard.
A few wahoo were caught, but the bite
has remained sporadic. They were caught
either on the high spots or found
offshore while looking for tuna.
The pangas were fishing near-shore from
100 feet deep to around five miles from
the beach due to flat water conditions
and the numbers of dorado to be found so
most of the inshore action consisted of
dorado, roosterfish and jack crevalle,
with an occasional snapper or grouper.
Almost every boat there was able to
limit out if they wanted. George and
