Van Wormer Resorts Fishing Report 10/26/13 Hola Amigos, The last two weeks have been tough fishing on the East Cape. Anglers have had to fish hard all day just to find a few fish. Some had better luck than others, but there are fish to be had. The last few days we have seen a turn for the better, with more and more fishing coming to the dock as the week went on. The tuna bite seems to have all but shut off with only a few boats finding the schools to the south. Those lucky enough to find the tuna were not able to find anything larger than football size tuna. The dorado bite is starting to pick up again, but again not a whole lot of size. We are still seeing wahoo in the area and a few lucky boats were able to land more than one on the same day. The roosterfish have come back pretty strong and we are seeing lots of anglers switch their game plan to include some inshore fishing. Those anglers that came inshore found success with roosters, jacks, pargo and trigger fish. Something to think about when you are having a slow day offshore. The billfish bite has also picked up this week. Anglers found more than enough sailfish to keep them busy, which some boats landing up to 7 in a day. We’ve also seen a few striped marlin landed, but it much smaller numbers. Although the fishing is not up to East Cape standards, the good news is that it is picking up each day. The other bright side is that most of the fishing has been relatively close to the hotel. Dorado, roosters, jacks and pargo as close as La Ribera and lighthouse point, and billfish have also been spotted just offshore 10-20 miles out from the hotels. Let’s hope that the trend continues and things get back to normal on the East Cape. That’s it for this week amigos! Until next week! Eddie Dalmau/Baja’s Van Wormer Resorts
