[center][font "Times New Roman"]June 9-15, 2008[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]WEATHER Our nighttime lows have been in the mid to high 60’s while the daytime highs have been in the mid 80’s, really nice weather all around except that the darn wind has been blowing almost non-stop all week. We have had mostly sunny skies, or partly cloudy if you are a pessimist, all week long.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]WATER: We had the cold water off of the Pacific Ocean make a strong intrusion into the Sea of Cortez this week. What had been very nice warm water all along the Cortez side turned into cold green water this week as our temperatures dropped from the high 70’s into the low to mid 60’s. Out in front of town we had the water temperature drop to 61 degrees on Saturday, and the cold water, most of it in the 64-degree range, extended up to the Punta Gorda area. As of the end of the week it had warmed a bit to the low 70’s, but was still green. On the Pacific side the water was rough due to the consistent northwesterly winds, with seas at 4-6 feet and plenty of chop on top of that in the first 10 miles from the beach. Outside the ten miles the swells were still there but the chop disappeared as the wind appeared to be land related.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]BAIT: Mackerel and a few Caballito were available at the new price of $3 per bait, and there were nice sized Sardinas at the Palmilla area at $25 a scoop.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]FISHING:[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]BILLFISH: The Marlin bite at the beginning of the week was not bad but as soon as the cold water started to wrap around the Cape the fish moved up the sea of Cortez and the ones that stayed around here stopped biting. At the end of the week you were lucky to get a chance to throw bait at a fish.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were no fish at the beginning of the week but at the end of the week there were some football fish found on the Pacific side around the San Jaime Banks. Boats that were brave enough to challenge the 10 mile weather were able to get a decent catch of Yellowfin in the 10-15 pound class just to the south of the San Jaime. Best lures were cedar plugs and small dark colored feathers. The fish were associated with spotted porpoise.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]DORADO There were some Dorado found at the end of the week in the warmer water south of the San Jaime Bank in the same area the Yellowfin were found. They were decent fish in the 20-35 pound class and most bit on the same lures as the Yellowfin.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]WAHOO: The Wahoo went somewhere else this past week.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]INSHORE: This was the type of fishing to do this week as the Sierra bite turned on and the inshore bite on them and on small Yellowtail was almost wide open. Almost all of this bite took place on the Cortez side of the Cape, but for those boats willing to challenge the currents and waves on the Pacific side, there was a decent bite on Snapper up at the el Arco area as well.[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]NOTES: Inshore was the place to be this week. All our inshore anglers did well if they were willing to catch what was available. The few Roosterfish that were caught were small, probably due to the cooler water, but also due to the cold water all the offshore species made themselves scarce. We just have to keep our fingers crossed that things improve and the water warms back up. Until next week, tight lines![/font]
