East Cape - Triggers and trumpets


After weeks of beautiful weather and grease calm seas conditions changed up this morning. At 1:30 AM I felt a stiff breeze pass through my open bedroom door and smack me in the back of the head. The surf started to pound and we woke up to a very grumpy Sea Of Cortez.

Fishing has been very inconsistent this week. Boats targeting marlin are experiencing one to three events a day. Anglers looking to fill coolers are finding it very difficult. Dorado have completely evaporated from the scene and wahoo are rare. The only really consistent bite is cornet, trigger and needlefish.

At this time every year thresher shark appear on the East Cape. This year has been no exception. Several are being taken everyday. Personally, I am not big on fishing for shark but this particular species is excellent table fare and once hooked puts up an admirable battle for fishermen.
