We are feeling the tropical weather conditions now, the Eastern Pacific is very active, with a
series of storm systems developing, so far all of these have been following paths far off to
the west, raising humidity and the heat index levels, as well as stirring up ocean conditions
some. There are daily isolated thunderstorms developing over the more mountainous regions,
though no rain as of yet right along the coastal zones. Next week it looks as though we will
see more storms passing a little closer before heading off west.
Light numbers of tourists now, so fishing charters have been more limited. Much of the week we
felt swirling choppy ocean conditions, finally laying down some over the weekend. Water
temperature has averaged 85 degrees, or higher in some spots. Very ripe for development of
tropical storms, this will be the scenario for the next eight weeks or so, always following
forecasts closely.
Most of the fishing action recently has been found from the Iman Banks and north to Vinorama.
Anglers are using sardinas, caballito and some slabs of squid. Winds and swift currents played
a factor for most of the week. Though some days were okay for early action. Yellowfin tuna were
found within several miles of shore, sizes 20 to 70 lb., but numbers were very limited. A
handful of dorado up to 30 lb. were accounted for, but again no large concentration, just
occasional fish, taken on bait and lures.
Off the bottom the highlight were some dogtooth snapper to over 30 lb. taken off the Iman Bank
while drift fishing bait. There were also other species taken off the rock piles, closer to
shore the main action was for triggerfish, bonito and spotted rose snapper.
Roosterfish action has slacked way off as this is nearing the end of the season for these
prized fighting gamefish. A huge congratulations to the Tiger Spirit and legendary local La
Playita angler Hugo Pino for walking away with the overall winner in this week's Bisbee East
Cape event. Beating out 100 teams, all eyeing the 1.6 million dollars of prize money up for
grabs. Late on the third and final last day of the tournament Hugo hooked and landed jackpot
fish, a 597 lb. black marlin.
Good Fishing, Eric
