East Cape





















The north wind can tough to work around

While there were a few nice days, this is not the time to plan a trip around fishing at East Cape. Sure the fish are still here…a few dorado, maybe a marlin or two and all the sierra you might want, but the wind can tough to work around.

On the other hand, the beach produced well on some days according to our guide, Lance Peterson.

“There were lots of fish off the beach at times but they were feeding on really small bait and were pretty tough to feed a fly. Nonetheless, we caught small roosters, jacks, pompano, and even black skipjack.”

So while the weather isn’t ideal, you might get lucky!

Welcome to one of the greatest shows on earth…if you are looking for gray whales, that is. The season is in full force and every day more busses arrive, disgorging eager tourists with digital cameras clutched in their fists hurrying to the pier to have an ‘up close and personal’ experience with one of these giants a few hundred yards in front of the pier.

Adding to the excitement this weekend is the first in a series of localized Copa Gobernador Tournaments. These tournaments attract many local families seeking cash prizes, tackle, and
Tee shirts while introducing many to sportfishing for the first time.

Our sail fest slowed down a bit this week. This can be accounted for by several reasons. The blue water is still close to the beach, but it cooled down a couple of degrees. And, we had a small earthquake last Tuesday, which really shuts off the bite. Plus, on Monday, we had a barometer pressure drop come over us, dumping a little rain in the mountains behind us. A barometer drop is tough on fish. They go deeper in the water column to balance out the pressure, and hate to come to the surface for a trolled bait.
The fish are still here, and if we can get the favorable conditions back, the fishing will definitely improve.
Most boats are raising five to seven sailfish a day, but only hooking one or two. Again, they are just off their feed from the weird unseasonal conditions.
Jacob Schougaard of Denmark hooked a sailfish on the fly when fishing with me down at Puerto Vicente Guerrero. We raised 5 sailfish and a huge dorado, which did not take the fly.
Marcos, on the panga Oceana, got two sails and a 250 pound blue marlin for his best day. And Adolfo, on the panga Dos Hermanos, told me he got two roosters while fishing up North beyond Saladita. He also said there were a lot of big jack crevalle. The jacks are running 15 to 20 pounds.

Striped marlin continued to dominate; every boat that tried for them was able to get hooked up. The best bite for the boats that stayed local was at the Golden Gate Bank. The fish were coming up on small bait balls. As soon as the pelicans and frigates started to dive on the bait, the seals started feeding as well, and then suddenly there would be a half-dozen or more marlin swirling on the bait. Sometimes they remained up for 15 or 20 minutes, other times they would disappear almost as fast as they showed up. Live bait tossed into the ‘feeders’ almost guaranteed a hook-up. There were also plenty of fish found at the Finger Bank, but with hot action at the Golden, there was little reason for boats to travel that far. Some fish were showing up on the ledge at the lighthouse and on Friday evening quite a few scattered singles were feeding just outside of Cabo San Lucas Bay.

The Dorado bite definitely dropped off for almost all the boats this week as the water temperature continued its slow but steady drop. A good catch of dorado this week seemed to be two fish, but most boats did not catch any.

The sierra action for fish between 8 and 10 pounds continued throughout the week. There are also some quality-sized yellows starting to show occasionally off of the Rocky points as well as some pargo to twenty-five pounds near the rocks.

Still no gray whales to report, but plenty of humpbacks.

Cabo and Zwhat Rocks…East Cape and Mag Rests

















Elivis is the only one that likes the wind

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.

Cabo San Lucas

Once again striped marlin were the top fish, giving anglers all the action they could wish for on most of the boats that worked the Golden Gate Bank. Not every day was a red-letter day though; we saw a definite slowing of the bite right around the full moon, several days either side of it seemed to be better. The same held true for the action we had been having on the Lighthouse ledge as the bite went from red-hot to hot to cool over three days. At the Golden Gate the better catches were had just before the full moon and boats that had experienced anglers were releasing double-digit numbers per day. That bite died to two or three fish per day during the full moon, and as of Saturday things had picked up very well

Yellowfin remained scarce this past week. A few boats managed to get into some fish ranging from 20 to 50 pounds working due south of Cabo on Tuesday. On Wednesday the fish had moved north about 15 miles and on Thursday they disappeared.

The best action for dorado appeared to be close to the beach on the Pacific side of the Cape. With an average size of 15 pounds, most boats were able to get two to five fish trolling live bait under areas where the frigate birds were hanging out, or trolling bright colored artificial lures within a mile of the beach. An occasional 35-pound fish added spice to the catch as well.

The sierra bite is picking up and the fish are very nice size, between 8 and 10 pounds when you find the right areas. There are a few nice yellowtails starting to pop up occasionally off of the Rocky points as well as some pargo to 25 pounds right in the rocks. Many of the pangas have been working just offshore for dorado and striped marlin and doing fairly well.

We are still seeing plenty of humpback whales outside of the beach area but have not seen any gray whales yet…at least I haven’t. The whale harassment fleet (whale watching charters, the small panga guys) can be spotted right on top of the pods, often 10 boats at a time.

Mexican Fishing Licenses: More = Less

East Cape

The box below compares the cost of the 2009 Mexican Fishing licenses with the cost in 2008. The price of the licenses actually went up about 8%. However, the peso rate increased in favor of the dollar by about 31%. The lesson here is to purchase your Mexican License with pesos and it will be cheaper than it was last year.

Mexican Fishing license cost two year comparison
2008 1 USD =10.9076 MXN 2009 1 USD = 14.2829 MXN
2008 1 day license 130 pesos ($11.92) Weekly 260 pesos ($23.84) Annual 500 pesos ($45.84)
2009 1 day license 140 pesos ($9.80)Weekly 290 pesos ($20.30)
Annual 540 pesos ($37.81)


There are few guests at the hotels so most of the boats are not heading out. North winds blew most of the week creating a left over lump along the beach which prevented even the tin boat fleet from getting a couple of hours fishing in before the relentless wind pounded the beach in the afternoon.

The annual influx of tourists arrived in search of a close encounter with the rapidly growing number of whales that have begun arriving from the North. Every year the number of visitors seems to grow. Meanwhile the fishing almost comes to a standstill while the town puts on a short lived, eco-friendly image. An image that quickly disappears when the ‘big guys’ leave.

It is still only a short ride to the 83º blue water, and the outstanding fishing for sailfish continues. And, we were in the middle of the full moon phase last week. It is hard to believe, but the great fishing we have now is going to get even better in this next few weeks.

Each boat in the fleet is averaging between four and six sailfish a day, and at least one 20+ pound dorado. Most of the blue water action is taking place between the 12 and 13 mile mark.

The individual counts are almost too numerous to list, but a few examples are like Martin on the Nautilius, averaging five sailfish and a dorado per day, with a high day of nine sailfish released. Martin also hooked a large blue marlin, but lost it after a few minutes. Annual returning fishermen, Billy and Barbara Gray of Hilton head, South Carolina fished 3 days with Santiago on the panga, Gitana, releasing 19 sails, and then one day with Adan on the panga Gitana II, releasing seven.

There is a large group of fishermen from Denmark here now, and they are having a blast. The days they fish the blue water, they gets lots of sails and dorado. The days they are inshore, they are getting lots of jack crevalle and sierras. The only thing missing inshore are the roosters, but they will be back in May.

The striped marlin have continued to bite at the Golden Gate Bank. Catch rates varied from between two to ten fish per day. Running to the diving pelicans and frigates and throwing a couple of live baits in among the feeding seals and marlin resulted in many hook-ups on both marlin and pelicans. The striped marlin have also begun to show just off of the lighthouse on the Pacific side. Along the flats at the point, the bait has begun to stack up and many boats are fishing there instead of making the run to the Golden Gate Bank.

There were also a few yellowfin between 15-20 pounds found among porpoise off of Gray Rock, and the same type of action was occasionally found 8-10 miles off the beach on the way to the San Jaime Bank on the Pacific side.

There were decent catches of dorado averaging 12 pounds this week from the Pacific side of the Cape just a few miles off the beach. Farther off shore at 10+ miles, the fish seemed to be bigger... one boat came in with three dorado over 35 pounds

The sierra bite is picking up and the fish are good sized, between 8 and 10 pounds, and a few quality yellowtail are starting to pop up occasionally off of the Rocky points, as well as pargo to 25 pounds right in the rocks. Many of the pangas working just offshore for dorado and striped marlin are doing fairly well.

East Cape

Sierra...Don't forget the wire!
Winter conditions persist with sporadic north winds dictating the quality of fishing each day. There are still reasonable quantities of fish to be found on the good (no wind) days.

Though none of the hotels have more than a few guests and the number of boats going out is light, when they do go out, it is more often than not for half a day until the wind gets them.

In spite of the fact that most of the boats are fishing within 5 miles of shore, the catches have been remarkably good. Plenty of marlin are found tailing down-swell with an occasional bite yielding a fish per day for those targeting them.

Dorado in January? You bet…a few fish are being caught from 5 to 35 pounds, mostly free swimmers in open water.

Sierra continues to be the go to’ fish when nothing else wants to bite or the boats are forced to remain near the shore.

Our fantastic sailfish action has not let up, plus we are seeing more 20+ pound dorado each day. The 82º blue water is just 8 miles off the beach, with almost all the fishing action taking place between the 10 and 15 mile areas.

Jaime Morales, the owner of the Vamonos fleet, told me the Vamonos I fished three days, accounting for nineteen sailfish, four dorado, and one small blue marlin. The Vamonos II had five sails and two dorado for one day, and the Vamonos III had seven sails and one dorado for one day.

Martin on the Nautilus, and Margarito on the Gaby, both told me they are getting an average of five to seven sailfish and two dorado a day.

BILLFISH: Striped marlin continued to dominate fishing at the Golden Gate Bank. Catch rates varied from between seventeen fish to two fish per day, depending on the length of time spent there and the experience of the anglers. Running to the diving pelicans and frigates and throwing a couple of live baits in among the feeding seals and marlin resulted in many hook-ups, both on marlin and on pelicans. The other day we released three marlin and three pelicans in an hour. Slow trolling live bait also worked very well.

Another area where the striped marlin began to show was just off of the lighthouse on the Pacific side. Along the flats at the point the bait has begun to stack up and many boats have been saving time by fishing there instead of making the run to the Golden Gate Bank.

YELLOWFIN TUNA: Yellowfin remained scarce this past week. A few football-sized fish are beginning to show up off of the Westin area on the Cortez side of the Cape just a few miles off shore, the same area where we had such a good time catching them on light tackle last year. Using live sardina as chum and bait resulted in catches of up to six fish per boat. There were also a few fish in the 15 to 20 pound range found among the porpoise off of Gray Rock late in the week, and the same type of action was occasionally found 8 to 10 miles off the beach on the way to the San Jaime Bank on the Pacific side.

DORADO: There were decent catches of dorado this week from the Pacific side of the Cape just a few miles off the beach. These were smaller fish averaging 12 pounds, while farther off shore at 10+ miles, the fish seemed to be larger. One boat came in with three dorado, all over 35 pounds.

INSHORE: Near the beach things have been very good. One roosterfish of 50+ pounds was caught and released just to the east of the lighthouse. Others are having a blast on small roosterfish from 5 pounds to 15 pounds.

The sierra bite is getting better with some very nice fish to 8 pounds being caught. A commercial panga had one about 12 pounds. A few nice sized pargo have been found among the rocks on the Pacific side and some good grouper to 30 pounds were brought in as well.

Recollections, Anticipations and Updates

Endless Season Update 12/31/2008
REPORT #1147 "Below the Border" Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape

2008 Looking back, our fishing season was largely spent on the beach in pursuit of roosterfish on the fly. So, as to be expected, it was wind and waves that determined when the ingredients for successful fishing would come together.
As the winter months faded into spring, the opportunities on the beach increased as the North wind subsided. Early season found the usual ‘fast movers’ (jack crevalle and roosterfish) within range of a fly from shore. But it was a few big yellowtail in March that made for the most noteworthy targets from shore.
While the roosterfish are not often big early in the year, the potential for a grande pez gallo is always there, and by spring the reality of roosters pushing the 50 pound mark (and beyond) made every day on the beach interesting to say the least.
Good numbers of big roosterfish made an appearance at the East Cape in 2008 but finding yourself on the right beach, at the right time, with fish ready to eat a fly was critical. When it all came together, countless hours on the hunt paid off in memorable action and a few amazing fish. Beyond playing the rooster game there were ample opportunities for several other species including sierra, pompano and pargo. Lance Peterson, BOF Guide

2009 The last days of 2008 have provided some great weather and calm seas. The early morning bite has been consistent, providing action on a mixed bag of fish. Most of the roosterfish are under 5 pounds as is usually the case in the winter, but there are some bigger fish around also. I have spotted two roosters in the 30 pound class recently, giving hope to the idea of hooking big fish from shore in the winter months.
Of course, I can't help but look ahead to spring, the last of the North winds, and the best months for hunting roosterfish with a fly. The sardina have been concentrating quite well along the shoreline. If that trend continues, I'm optimistic that we will see great fishing at East Cape in the coming year...it's all a matter of being there when the bite is on! Lance Peterson, BOF Guide

2008 This last year was really kind of a disappointment for fishing here on the West Coast of Mexico. During the peak of the high season, we had unusual cold water currents move in, which caused our warm water game fish to leave for parts unknown. We look at this as not being a long term affect, rather a short term 10-year cycle about to repeat itself.
2009 This coming year should prove this out as our blue 80º water is currently just off the beach, and the fishing is outstanding. Sailfish action will peak during the dark of the moon periods for January and February, with another mini-migration occurring in July. Roosterfish action will heat up in May, and peak at the end of July, but we will still be getting decent fishing into late December. Blue marlin and yellowfin tuna will be best in May and June.

Our fishing is continuing its excellent action on sailfish. The 82º blue water is just off the beach, with most of the fish being taken between 7 and 10 miles.
The yellowfin tuna are still a ‘no show’, but a few blue marlin and dorado are being taken.
Mecate, on the boat Aqua Azul, is averaging 7 sailfish a day released. He has a total of 34 releases in 5 days, but many other boats are doing almost as well.
Plus, the fly fishermen are finally getting a number of shots at sailfish and a decent chance for a hookup. Fishing with Andre Padovanti, of British Columbia, we teased four fish to the boat and he got the hook into two. We were up at Mahuaja fishing with Ramon on his open panga, and launched off the beach.
A couple of days later I went back to Mahauja with Chris Sovak of New York. The fish had apparently moved out of the area, because we raised only one fish all day. At 11:00 a.m., we got the strike, teased it to the boat, and Chris got a good hook set, with the fly firmly in the corner of its mouth. It was Chris's first ever billfish, either on the fly or conventional gear, so it turned out to be a decent day after all.
The next day (yesterday), I went down to Puerto Vicente Guerrero with Joe and Denette Romano. Joe is a hunting/fishing guide out of Anchorage and an avid fly fisher. We raised six sails, and had four come to the boat. He hooked two, and she hooked one.
Inshore action is still holding steady with lots of sierra and smaller sized jack crevalle.

2008 This has been a very interesting and productive year for us, the fish have been biting well and while the economy has had an effect on bookings the fish don’t seem to care! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you celebrate the New Year in style.

BILLFISH: The marlin bite remained the same but the fish have moved off the Golden Gate Bank a bit. There are still plenty of fish there, but with the number of boats working the area causing traffic problems at times, some of the guys have been working to the south toward the San Jaime Bank and have been finding the striped marlin there as well. Not the same numbers as at the Golden Gate, but the pressure is less.

YELLOWFIN TUNA: Tuna were scarce once again, but a few fish were showing up mixed in with the porpoise around the San Jaime Bank. These fish ranged in size from 10 to 40 pounds with an occasional larger fish to 80 pounds hooked up.

DORADO: The dorado bite was decent this week with fish coming from close to the beach on the Pacific side, most of them within a mile or so, but a few were in the deeper water as well. The warmer water on the Cortez side of the Cape started to produce as we expected and there were good catches of fish to 35 pounds around the Red Hill area and off of Grey Rock.

INSHORE: Panga fishing this week has produced good numbers of small roosterfish, some nice sierra and yellowtail along with a few good-sized pargo. Fly fishermen have been having a blast with the occasional dorado and good numbers of bonita, chumming them up with live sardina.
