East Cape - Full moon turns 'em on!

After two months of extremely inconsistent fishing East Cape game fish have finally come to the party. For weeks the only shot at tuna has been south of Los Frailes. It is a long boat ride and in many cases has not been fruitful. Now, as the moon has become full the tuna have become aggressive. It is no longer a crap shoot and anglers going the distance are consistently bringing home the bacon with 30 to 40 pound yellowfin. In the same southern area anglers are also finding wahoo and smaller dorado.

Closer to home off the La Ribera high spot greenback mackerel and sardineta have appeared. These are normally cooler water baits and I'm a little surprised to see them in late August. All the same they are welcome and have really turned things around. Limits of smaller grade tuna along with snapper, amberjack, yellowtail and marlin are being taken drifting baits. Just outside the high spot blue marlin, striped marlin and sailfish have been bending rods.

Yesterday, while Jen Wren III took a limit of tuna and a nice amberjack, Vaquera performed the hat trick with 2 blue marlin, one striped marlin, one sailfish, 2 red snapper, one amberjack and to top it off a yellowtail. Yes, the full moon has turned 'em on.
