EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE
IN GENERAL: Unwelcome north winds early in the week greeted Pudge Kleinkauf’s Alaska group when they arrived on Tues. By Wed. afternoon, the winds had begun to subside; and on Thurs. morning three boats headed out in search of action. Fortunately, there were plenty of sardina for chum and the day yielded a few dorado and skipjack. Brian and Brent Layng, owners of the International Sportsmen’s Expo shows, managed to land four nice-sized dorado and had chances for more. Fri. was even better, with both of Pudge’s boats reporting good catches of skipjack, dorado and a half-dozen yellowfin tuna at the 20 mile mark. Captain Chayo on the “Nueva Era” even found the group several sailfish on the trip back to the hotel, one of which put on a great show for Larry Pemberton of Tacoma, Wash., before he released it.

OFFSHORE: Tuna at 20 miles; leave early and look for bird schools.
INSHORE: Dorado inside of four miles and plenty of skipjack to fill in the gaps.
BEACH: Wind waves and off-color water didn’t prevent Josh Dickinson from landing a few jacks on his hike back from the hotel.
BILLFISH – Sailfish seem to be the best bet this week, I suspect that will slow down over the next few weeks as the sea temps begin to drop.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Under the porpoise, looks for the birds and try to get there early.
DORADO – Strung out from inshore to offshore.
ROOSTERFISH\\JACK CREVALLE – Plenty of small jacks up and down the beach from Rancho Buena Vista to La Ribera.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Breezing schools in front of La Ribera.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Rocky points and pinnacles in front of La Ribera best bet.
SIERRA – Bring wire or lots of flies!
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Bob and Diana Hoyt, Mag Bay Outfitters, reported great action both in the esteros and out at the Thetis Bank. John Sullivan, Encinitas, Calif., finally broke the ice, catching a quality snook weighing in at just under 20 pounds as well a gaggle of leopard groupers earlier this week while waiting for the winds and sea to subside. When the winds quit, they headed out to the Thetis Bank for some wide open action on tuna and dorado. In the wahoo department, the wahoo won, biting them off several times. Only a few marlin were seen and none caught. The bait balls that Magdalena Bay is famous for were among the missing. It sounds like my timing is pretty good as I will be heading down for three days of fishing in the esteros and three days offshore mid-week.

SNOOK – Finally, a fat one.
HALIBUT – Not targeted this week.
SIERRA – Under the bird schools all the way out to the entrada.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 82º blue water has moved out this week and slowed the offshore fishing considerably. Yesterday (Fri.), fishing with Martin on the panga “Isamar,” Andrew Veit and his wife from Denver and I found the blue water at 18 miles. At 21 miles, we only raised two fish all day, but I got one to come to the boat. It was Andrew's first time for sailfish on the fly, and even though he had to make two tries for the sail, he was able to get a hookup. The sailfish did a few spectacular leaps, and was on for almost two minutes before it threw the hook for a long release.
Talking to Captain Margarito on the radio through the course of the day, he picked up two sails at the 18 miles mark and very late in the day, another two at 26 miles. He told me the 26 mile area was holding a tremendous amount of fish, but he had to head back before he had a chance to fish it well. His fish were taken on conventional gear, but I am heading directly to the 26 mile mark today with Baja on the Fly fly-fishing client Jimmy Evans and Captain Chiquis on the “Intrza.”
The great roosterfish action and inshore for jack crevalle and sierras is still holding up.

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
The weather has been great, but the anglers have all but disappeared! Maybe now that the U.S. election is behind us, our fishing friends will “come on down.” There was very little activity this past week with only two boats going out. They reported slower action than the previous week, but were still able to get double digit action. The dorado and roosters are still around, and in 3 hours of inshore fishing one little girl managed a rooster that was about her size (40-pounds). All of the conditions continue to improve each week and reservations are still available for the 2004/05 campaign.
Water Temperature 78-82
Air Temperature 80-86
