East Cape -
Spooky calm
October is
just a couple days away and I can feel our 2016 season slipping away. Hurricane season doesn't officially end until
November 30th but my feeling is we are already out of the woods. The stifling humidity of summer has subsided
and the water temperature in the Sea of Cortez is stable at 85 degrees.
For the
entire season there have been very few bumps in the road. Fishing conditions have been excellent, there
has been very little wind and the sea has been like a pond. It is eerie to not hear the surf pound once
in a while but day after day the weather has been spooky calm.
Fishing
continues to be outstanding. We are
experiencing one of the those times that species can almost be ordered off the
menu. Blue marlin continue to rock. Striped marlin and sailfish are also
providing action. Wahoo and yellowfin
tuna continue to cooperate. Bottom
fishing for red snapper and amberjack has been productive. Bubba sized roosterfish have been rewarding
anglers putting in the time but the most exciting news is the return of
dorado. Yes, after disappearing for
almost 2 years dorado are back in the count.
While the majority are small there are a few of the larger models
starting to show.
Don't be fooled by the size of Accurate's Valiant 300. It packs a punch.
Valiant 300 does it again
Spotted this
water spout offshore. It was a very
local event and didn't bring rough seas.
Strange thing is a dorado fell out of the sky in San Antonio several
miles from the water. Maybe this is
where it came from?
It was
strange to be swarmed by bees that landed on our navigation light. They were not aggressive and caused no harm.
Another
strange phenomenon. Found this tarantula walking down the beach at the waters
edge.
