Vulnerable wear and stress points are double reinforced with an extra tough material sewn to the underside of the cover. An unbreakable 1/4' poly draw rope sewn with the perimeter hem enables the cover to be cinched tight to the hull. 1' poly loops are sewn around the perimeter of the cover to accept a Hurricane strap/buckle tie down kit, bungee cords, or rope ties for positive securing to the boat.

Endless Season Update 01/21/2009
REPORT #1150 'Below the Border' Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Very few visitors in the hotels again this week with only a boat or two heading out on the non-windy days. One Palmas boat returned yesterday sporting two blue flags with small red flags beneath. I guess that means they caught something with a bill that they let go??? They also flew five yellow flags indicating dorado, I suppose. Most of the locals have had to be content with sierra, small roosters and jacks before the north wind cranks up.

Good news for the whale watchers….more whales! And for the surfers, the bigger surf has attracted surfers on Jet Ski’s. Both of which have over shadowed the fishing this week. There were a few sierra and corvina along with a few grouper and pargo deeper in the water column. Out at the Entrada there were more firecracker yellows under the bird schools. However, the show went pretty much unnoticed because of a lack of anglers in the area.

Our sailfish fest is still holding up. The 83º blue water is still just off the beach and the boats are all scoring well. Early in the week the counts were down a bit because of a lot of fishing pressure with most boats working an area 8 to 12 miles in a southerly direction, but now the concentrations of fish been relocated and they have moved more to the North-West.
The Tournament Anglers Association is holding their annual 4-day tournament this week, with 17 pangas and 34 anglers. After day two days of the tournament, the points leader was John Jackson, with 7 sailfish and 1050 points. The TAA is an outstanding group of fishermen dedicated to the conservation of the billfish species. Their point system is set up so the angler gets 150 points per fish when the leader is touched within 5 minutes. Points are deducted for every 5 minutes after that. No points are given for a fight of 1/2 hour or more. And, all of this is using circle hooks and a maximum of 20 pound test line.
I am getting reports of a few roosters being caught up North above Saladita, so tomorrow I will try that. Today (Thursday), I am fishing with Toronto, Canada angler, Gary Megan, with the fly rods for sails. He hooked two a couple of days ago, and wants to do that again.
