 Billfish, Billfish, Billfish....I know that many of you are probably tired of hearing it, but there are so many billfish in the East Cape right now that it has been the story for over a month now.  Many boats continue to return to the docks with up to nine billfish flags per boat.  The dorado bite has also kept up this week with some boats returning with over a dozen in one day.  Sprinkle in some roosters, cabrillas, pargos, and a 405 lb. blue marlin, and you have another great week down in the East Cape.


The dorado have been ranging from 25-45 pounds, and the roosters have been averaging about 30 pounds.  The locations are pretty much the same as last week.  Great dorado fishing to the north from the ocho-ocho to Cerravo Island, and roosters are being caught near Punta Pescadero to the north and Los Frailes to the south.  Billfish have been landed in either direction.  That is it for this week amigos.  Until next week.  Tight lines!

Long Range The Indy Report
 
Tue May 13 2008, 08:08AM

Hello everyone, here is a quick report for the last few days. Yesterday we arrived at Alijos around 1330, and looked around trying various spots for some smaller tuna, as well as some medium grade yellowtail. The last spot was to be our best, as we had a good hit on a nice grade yellows just before dark. Now then last night we had a no show on the yellows. We anchored in a Different spot for the morning, and were surprised to have decent action on medium grade, as well as 4 tuna from 40 to 70 lbs. The weather has been up a little bit, but I think it will subside soon. Katie's dad would like to wish her a happy birthday. We are going to try this again tomorrow, please wish us luck, Jeff and the Indy crew

There were a lot of Marlin to be seen on the surface up in the Palmilla area close to shore but they were stuffed with squid and did not want to eat.  Lucky boats were catching one or two per trip.  There were a few decent Sailfish coming from the same area as well.  There was not a lot of action on the billfish front but I am awaiting reports from a few friends that went up to fish the warm water on the Cortez side, they should be back early this coming week.  My fingers are crossed.

YELLOWFIN TUNA:  A few boats caught a few small football sized fish after the seiners left the area.  Overheard on the radio were reports of them talking to each other and bragging about stuffed holds, guess they took all the fish.

Weekly Fishing Column: Baja is still good for a thrill It has been a tough month for Kenny and Mary Cochran of Torrance. Two deaths in the family left the couple of 21 years emotionally drained and in need of a break. Before the tragedies struck their family, the Cochrans had made plans to attend the Fiesta de 976-TUNA at Hotel Palmas de Cortez in Baja's East Cape.

Ideal time to visit Southern Baja, clear sunny skies with highs in the 80s, crowds are lighter than usual and fishing action is steady enough to please most serious anglers.

Ocean conditions have been a bit unpredictable, but on most days anglers were able to find comfortable seas. Water temperatures ranged from 73 to 77 degrees, with the warmest currents now found near Los Frailes. Mackerel were scarcer, but sardinas remained plentiful, particularly in the area of the Puerto Los Cabos Marina Jetties.


Striped marlin were found in significant numbers from La Fortuna to Desteladera, the marlin could be seen feeding and at times anglers were able to jig up their own bait when they were found schooling on the surface. The cruiser fleets launching from Cabo San Lucas had better access to larger baitfish such as mackerel and caballito, so they were able to target the billfish more efficiently.
