East Cape –
Over matched
We started
this season with a sputter but East Cape fishing is finally off to the
races. It is time for all the cyber
fishermen to push away from their computers and get down here. It is happening!
After a few
days of wind last week we are back to calm seas and very comfortable
weather. Schools of porpoise have
arrived from 20 to 40 miles offshore holding tuna. There are a lot of small fish that some days
are a bit finicky but there are a few cows mixed in as well. We are seeing huge schools of flying fish and
also metering spots of squid. The stage
is set for the bite to just keep getting better.
Several
boats have sighted swordfish and some of the fish have been aggressive and
ready to bite. Rude Girl bagged 2 in one
day. El Regalo spotted 4 in one day, got
2 to go and boated one. We had one
chasing the bait but the fish got bill wrapped and that was that.
On the
inside striped marlin are on the prowl.
We were terrorized by a huge blue marlin I'd call a Bisbee contender but
couldn't get the hook to stick. When it
came up and shook off the lure it's bill looked as thick as a baseball
bat. Wahoo, roosterfish and pargo are
also providing action for anglers fishing the shoreline.
