Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

Endless Season Update 01/06/07
East Cape
Winter and 2007 have both arrived. This means that the good days will be the exception for the next few months with north winds always a threat and just a few puffs away. This time of year, early mornings can be the best opportunity as they sometime offer flat, calm conditions. However, more often than not, early morning anglers are greeted with some wind waves and the ominous telltale wind line on the horizon.
On the good days, the sierra, jacks, ladyfish and even a few small roosters can be found feeding along the beaches. Offshore, small dorado, skipjack, yellowfin tuna and even a few marlin can be found within twenty miles and the giant squid are still within a few miles of Palmas de Cortez .
Another option for the angler is to travel down to Cabo San Lucas to take advantage of the better inshore\\offshore action that can be found off the tip of Baja. Sam Adams, from Weston, CT, was thrilled with the results, landing a forty pound dorado on the fly. Other action during the Cabo trips included billfish, sierra and even a few hefty pargo.

Still a pretty good lump on the outside as the moderate to strong winds continued most of the week. There was an excellent tuna bite earlier in the week for some brutes up to 300 lbs. - not exactly the kind we are looking for on the flyrod. The phenomenal dorado bite didn't let the new year slow it down at all. I suspect the billfish are still around but few if any boats have been out looking for them this week.
Last week produced the best snook action in several years at Devil’s Curve. Unfortunately, with nary a fly rodder in site, the action was all on live shrimp for those lucky enough to be in neighborhood. Enrique Soto, Puerto San Carlos, reported some as large as twenty-five pounds. He also found decent action for yellowtail on the surface and down deeper enough leopard grouper to keep things interesting.
All of this as most of the focus of the locals turns to the beginning of whale watching season which attracts visitors from around the world. Getting up close and personal with a gray whale in Baja is high on many folks’ personal “to do” list.

The 82° blue water is still only 5 miles off the beach. At 10 miles, and on out, the water is 84°. The fishing for sailfish, including during this full moon period, is very good. Most boats in the fleet are averaging about 4 sailfish a day, with counts as high as 7 and 8 fish a day for some.
Steve King and a friend from Maryland fished with Santiago on the panga Gitana for three days. They tagged and released 15 sails. Santiago also told me the yellowfin tuna were at 25-30 miles, but moving fast, and difficult to catch.
A few 20 to 30 pound dorado are still around, but not showing up in the counts as well as last week.
Inshore, the jack crevalle action is picking up, and the roosterfish has just about wound down. We now have to wait for May for any decent roosterfish action.
