Hi Everyone,

This week we had some incredible fishing. Marlin is still the top bite on the outside and we caught some really nice fish. While looking for marlin we have been catching some really good dorado…Although there aren’t very many, the ones we are catching are big! The tuna have started show up as well and there are reports of more on the way. Once we learn more about the tuna bite we will differently keep you posted.

The beaches have started to fish better now that the water has cleared up a bit. Roosterfish are still very weary as the beaches are crowded and they are receiving a ton of pressure. However, last week we did some exploring on some beaches and found exactly what we were looking for. Roosterfish!

We will be fishing these beaches with our clients this week and we will update shortly. Please feel free to contact us with questions and availability.

Tight lines,

Jeff

Hi Everyone,

Over the last week we have had some incredible fishing. Our main focus has been the marlin bite. Although a 15 mile boat ride, it has been well worth it to find the most productive areas.

The other day we raised over 15 marlin and landed 4. Also, sailfish have been in the mix as well. The wind did pick up for a few days and it made for a bumpy ride with 4-6 foot swells, but the anglers who persevered through it were well rewarded. However, the wind should be more manageable this week and the it will be easier to go further looking for marlin.

Dorado are around as well and although there aren’t very many fish, the ones we are catching are big!

The beaches have shut down and the inshore water is dirty due to the wind, plus the roosterfish have had major pressure on them with the busy beaches this season. We should see the bite pick up in a week or two once the pressure dies down and the water cleans up.

if you would like information regarding our trips please call and we are happy to discuss options with you.

Hi Everyone

Our summer season is in full swing and we are seeing the water temps warming and the weather is beautiful. Overall, the fishing we have had over the last week or two has been great as we are able to fish for multiple species within the day

Marlin, the marlin fishing has been off the charts and most boats are averaging double digits daily. The sardina are still up north but it’s definitely worth the boat ride to use them in the inshore on roosterfish and bonito. The beaches are still fishing well, but it can be crowded at times. One day we have roosters eating, and the next day they won’t chase a fly, but that’s fishing for you.

Also, we are catching some nice pompano off the beach and are a great fish to catch off the beach on light tackle. On another note, we have been seeing some nice schools of porpoise recently, but there is no tuna with them yet, so we should be seeing them shortly and will update as soon as we have confirmation.

If you would like any other information on our guided trips please give us a call and we will be happy to assist you.

Hi everyone.

The fishing here in the East Cape Baja has been action packed. The weather is heating up and we are seeing some nice fish. Also, the sardines are still a long ride out, but if you have them the fishing can be really good.

Sailfish: One of my captains reported that there is a very strong bite of sailfish down South. We will be exploring it more this week and report back.

Dorado: there is a good amount of Sargasso weeds floating around and holding some nice dorado. Once we find one or two fish we can generally stay on them providing some great angling.

Beaches: currently the beaches have some nice sized jacks and roosterfish.. However, the fish are spooky making it difficult to get them to eat, so you have to be patient and pick your shots. Although spooky, we have caught some big fish…

My client on mothers day caught a 40 pound roosterfish and a 40 pound jack off the beach. She has only been fly fishing for two years and handled it like a pro! If you would like any information on any of our trips, please give us a call, and we will be happy to assist you.

The beaches are still fishing well for Jacks and Roosterfish. The average Roosterfish is 7-15 pounds with some grande fish in the mix. The sardina are still a ways out and we have not spent much time going after them as we lose precious fishing time, so instead of fishing inshore we have focused strictly on the beaches and done well.

With all the action on the beaches it can get crowded as we mentioned in our last report, However, is you are patient and pick your shots, the effort will pay off. Marlin and Dorado are scattered and we did see some wind pick up the other day but nothing that would prevent us from fishing.Last season we had one of our best Roosterfish seasons and this season is shaping up to be another stellar season. If you would like any rates, or have questions about the trips, please give us a call and we will be happy to assist you.

The Reel Baja is looking into several hosted trips so stay tuned and we will be releasing a newsletter shortly with some updates on the trips.

We have had great fishing from both the boats as well as the beach. We have good numbers of Roosterfish and Jacks prowling the beaches as well as inshore.

The beaches are busy with a lot of anglers throwing things at them at the moment and anglers need to be on top of their game.

From the boats we have excellent fly fishing for marlin and currently we are experiencing multiple chances per. Recently there has been times that two or three marlin show up in the pattern at the same time. Dorado are scattered and in the mix as well.

We are seeing some excellent fly fishing for nice skip jack as well just to round things out.

On the bait front. The sardines are a long ride away and are located to our North at the tip of Ceralvo Island. It’s an hour and a half ride one way, but its well worth the ride if you don’t mind a little less fishing time.

We fished to the North this week and had some great action and had many large Roosterfish, plus some yellow tail crashing the bait. I saw another fly fishing angler land about a #40 Yellowtail. While on the beach we had some of the biggest Roosterfish I have ever seen chasing our flies!! However, we just couldn’t get one to commit. Overall we had an incredible week last week and we are set to repeat it again this week. If you would like any package information or trip details, please give us a call.

We have had an incredible week here in East Cape Baja! The top bite is marlin. Most of the fish are to our South, but it has been nothing short of amazing. One of my best friends who is a captain hooked 17 and landed 12 marlin on Sunday on conventional tackle.

Also, the roosterfish have been very active on the beaches. My client the other day had a great day chasing down some fish. We had some great shots off the beach and hooked and landed three nice roosters, then hooked another 3 but did not land them.

Overall the weather has been really good and conditions are only getting better. The roosterfish are only going to get more active as the season progresses and we will seeing some grande fish shortly. If you have any questions about the conditions, or want to book a date please give us a call we will be happy to assist you.

Hi Everyone,

This week in East Cape Baja the fishing was really good. We did experience some wind on Thursday and Friday though, but conditions were still fishable and we had some great days on the water. Saturday was our first calm day with no wind and we fished to big schools of skipjack and had a blast.

The dorado and marlin bite is scattered after the winds came through, however, there are still some nice marlin around.

Fishing off the beach has been good for jacks and roosterfish but it can get crowded though. If you cruise around on a ATV you can find some isolated areas.

As for the sardines, they are still a long boat ride out to get them, so we have not really focused on the inshore fishery.

We are filming with Animal Planet’s show called ” Off The Hook” on Thursday and it should be a fun day. Overall, the weather has been great and the fishing has been good. If you are thinking of taking trip to Baja this summer give us a shout and we will be happy to answer any questions.

We do have some great photos that we will be posting shortly. You will find them here on our Facebook page.

Hi folks,

This has been an amazing week here in Baja. We have had some great weather and fantastic fishing with non stop action. The top bite this week has been marlin and there are no shortage of fish around at the moment.

One boat this week had 4 marlin on at one time and most boats are catching between 4-5 marlin per day.

The beaches are fishing well and we have found some Jacks and Roosterfish by cruising the shoreline looking for schools of fish. Also, the inside bite is pretty good, but the sardines are a long boat ride out, so we are focusing more on the beaches and marlin fishery right now. So far this season the fishing has been great and it will only continue to get better and we are looking forward to a great season. If you are considering a trip this summer give us a call and we will be happy to discuss options and days.

Hi folks,

I’m on vacation with the family in Arizona, then headed to California for the Fishermen’s Spot Fly Fishing event, April 6-7th in Van Nuys. I got an update from one of my captains and the fishing is really good right now!

Ballyhoo, Dorado and Roosterfish are on the bite. The biggest concentration of Ballyhoo is around the lighthouse and the Roosterfish are on bait balls near the beaches. I’m excited to get back home next week and get my clients onto some nice fish. Stay posted and we will update from the beaches! Plus, we will have some amazing weather to enjoy.
