Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

REPORT #1047 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 01/27/07
Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
The whale and tourist migration seemed to have peaked simultaneously this week. More visitors continue to flock into both Puerto San Carlos and Lopez Mateos to take advantage of the opportunity to pet, kiss or just get up close and personal with some of the largest sea creatures in the world’s oceans.
The few boats that fished outside this week found the same kind of action that Captain Peter Groesbeck on the Stealing Time reported last week. However, better weather allowed the Southern Comfort and the other few boats around to cash in on the consistent marlin action under the bird schools - mostly multiples strung along the 100 fathom curve from Santa Maria to the Entrada. The action seems to be slowly sliding south following the warm water currents that compress down toward the tip of Baja. Though there were fewer than last week, the dorado bite remained decent.
Back inside, the best inshore action is the firecracker yellows mixed in with the bonito under the bird schools at the Entrada. With most of the boats whale watching this week, the Estero had little if any fishing pressure this week.

East Cape
Winter reports on fishing at East Cape can differ, depending on who you ask; if you ask a local, the answer this week would be, “We had a few nice days.” Most hotel visitors would answer, “It blew most of the week with only a few decent days.” So there you have it!
Here at East Cape this time of the year (winter), the good days are the exception, not the normal. But during spring, summer and fall, you’ll find that almost every day is a great day. This week, on the good days, there were a few marlin to be found, as well as some dorado and some football sized tuna under the porpoise. Inshore, the early morning sierra action was enough to get a few of the locals out early.

The fishing and water conditions have changed a bit this week. Late last week we had a low pressure move in on us, creating a strong afternoon wind which moved the blue water out to the 20 mile mark. Fishing was very slow.
But since Wednesday, conditions have stabilized and we are getting decent fishing again. Each boat is averaging two to three sailfish a day. Plus, Santiago, on the panga, Gitana, took a nice 230 pound blue marlin.
Adolpho, on the panga, Dos Hermanos, told me the inshore waters are so slow he is not even trying to fish for the jacks or roosters. The only thing going on with the inshore is a very abundant black skipjack tuna bite.
