[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Phenomenal, OK, Slow. All of those comments were heard at[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]various times in the hotel bars this week and they all are right. Jeff[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Solis – who occasionally guides for us – and Tracey, visiting from San[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Diego, along with Jeff and Joanna Priest from Los Angeles, had non-stop[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]fishing from the beach on Sun. (5/25). They were lucky to have magazine and[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]calendar photographer Sam Talarico and his wife Lyra to record all the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]action on film. Then, on Mon., Jeff and Tracey with Sam and Lyra in tow went[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]out on a panga and ended up with one lone bonito for the day. Curse of the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]camera? Not hardly. Yesterday, Sam and Lyra accompanied their friends[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Solomon and Brenda Watson, visiting us from New York, went out on a cruiser[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]and had shots at marlin, wahoo, dorado, sailfish and, to top off the day,[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]got underwater shots of a rooster that Brenda brought to the boat. So, I[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]guess you could say that East Cape fishing this week was in the eye of the[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]beholder. Weather has been very pleasant this week. We even had a Southern[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]California phenomena: pea soup fog (but only for a brief period.)[/size][/font]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· OFFSHORE: Sure doesn't seem to be any hot spots. Boats are going off[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]in every direction with some coming back with outriggers loaded with flags and[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]others with little to show for their effort.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· INSHORE: Inshore was tough for everybody this week; several boats spent[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]· BEACH: Definitely the frontrunner this week with roosters to 15-pounds,[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]small jacks and a strong ladyfish bite that kept our Baja Beachflingers smiling as[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]they flung their flies.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]BILLFISH - So what's new? Right place, right time, typical billfishing.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]YELLOWFIN TUNA - Not a slam dunk this week. You had to work for what you[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]caught.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]DORADO - Big rascals, just not many.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]a Baja Deep Diver.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]SIERRA - You'll find them beneath the bait receivers at La Ribera and Punta[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]IN GENERAL: Beginning to feel more like summer in the bay. Outside is still[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]cold water and high seas. While the stock spots are producing fair catches,[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]this is the time of year to devote some of your time to exploring. With over 130[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]miles of bay and esteros, who knows what secret spot you might stumble into.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Just imagine, you may be the first person to introduce a fly to a spot. What a cool thought.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]CORVINA - Strong comeback this week with white and silver flies getting[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]their attention.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]SNOOK - Believe it or not, dredging the center of the channels with a See[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Thru Deceiver has been very effective recently.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]HALIBUT - We even caught a few up in the esteros.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]SIERRA - Quiet for now.
