East Cape - Nothing like a good hurricane

East Cape - Nothing like a good hurricane

For the last several weeks the Sea of Cortez has been flat calm which has made for very comfortable boat rides and fishing. The difficult thing is the bite has not been red hot. Anglers have been scratching 'em out but it has been a slow pick.
As soon as Hurricane Dolores started to form more than 1,000 miles below the Cape the bite picked up. The storm has never been a threat to Baja although it is going to bring a couple days of wind as it passes in the Pacific.
There is nothing like a good hurricane to turn on the bite. It seems like the approaching low pressure really has an impact. Gamefish act like it is the last supper as a storm approaches.
This week the blue marlin bite has been off the chart. Even when not targeting blues we hung one on a Marauder while fishing wahoo. Sailfish have been plentiful and trophy sized roosterfish have also been abundant.
Nobody has been able to find the larger model tuna with porpoise but limits of footballs have been easy most days for anglers willing to make the 2 hour ride south to the San Luis Bank.
The burning question of the moment is where are the quality dorado? A few smaller fish are being taken but this Saturday is the well attended Dorado Shootout. Seas will still be a bit grumpy from Dolores so it will be interesting to see if anyone can pull a big bull out of their hat. Wish us luck!
All in all it has been a very action packed week.

Hard to troll all day and not hook a blue marlin right now. Even if you are not fishing for them

Sailfish are providing action

When first hooked the blues really put on a show.

Took Jim Durky 12 years of trying to catch his first sailfish

Small reel, small kid, big fish. 12 year old Sam Sullivan landed a blue marlin this week un-assisted

Excellent wahoo fishing

We always promote billfish release. This fish was hooked in the tail and died in battle. To give perspective the boat has a 13 foot beam.
