Tip&Trick Description 1:
Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR SOUTH OF THE BORDER. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: bajafly@bajafly.com; USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Fri., Feb. 27, 2004. Report covers the period Sat.-Thurs. (2/20 – 2/26)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Transition time has started! Early in the week, spirits buoyed with a decent dorado pop, a few marlin and enough early morning sierra to make the rods go bendo. Alas, the north wind stopped those smiles three days ago. However, fewer windy days and more nice days seem to confirm the locals’ belief that spring may be coming early. Everyone sure hopes so!

o OFFSHORE: Pick the right day and there may be a few dorado and possibly a pointy-nosed one as well.
o INSHORE: Sierra for sure, plus a few jacks and roosters out toward the lighthouse.
o BEACH: Early morning sierra and even a few roosters beginning to make an appearance.
BILLFISH – Early or late, not sure; but there are a few around.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Not yet, but soon.
DORADO – Close in near the pyramids (slides) produced the best results.
ROOSTERFISH – Heard of one sluggo at the lighthouse this week.
JACK CREVALLE – In spite of cooler water there are a few around.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Tin boat guys are finding a few off of La Ribera.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Poppers and floating line may do the trick.
SIERRA – Early, early, early is the ticket.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Puerto San Carlos:
IN GENERAL: Rainy earlier in the week, sunny days now after the fog burns off. A couple of the esteros south of San Carlos produced some good leopard grouper action with several larger snook reported hooked and lost. Out at the entrada it was yellowtail, a few smaller grouper and one quality white sea bass (40-pounds). Whales continue to provide some spectacular photo ops.

YELLOWTAIL – Firecrackers at the entrada.
CORVINA – Good action throughout the bay.
SNOOK – Some found, none caught.
HALIBUT – Shallow sandy beach and a slow-retrieved Clouser should do the trick.
SIERRA – Belcher’s or entrada the best bet.
Lopez Mateos:
IN GENERAL: There’s a wide-open corvina bite in the esteros, but big swells prevented any of the boats from venturing offshore this week. Biggest news is probably the numbers of gray whales cavorting and yes, you can even watch the babies from shore.
Lopez Mateos report by Diana Hoyt
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: A few porpoise schools were found straight out in front about 8 miles. Bird school on the leading edge had everyone thinking tuna as the teasers were dragged through the melee. When the multiple sails appeared in the wake behind the teasers everyone had to scramble, changing over from tuna to billfish flies in a hurry. Back on the beach, clouds of birds crashing on baitfish fleeing from hungry jacks proved that the beach fishing was another Zihuatanejo option.

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Over the past week, the fishing action has moved inshore with most boats 12-17 miles out. The local fleet averaged 18 of 33 releases on sails. The dorado also made a strong showing this week after being spotty the over the past several weeks. Inshore, once again no one tried the excellent opportunities over the last week. One client was scheduled to fish inshore in the late afternoon, but by 2 he was back at the dock after being worn out from the nonstop sailfish action in the morning. For his next trip down he indicated he was definitely bringing a friend along so he could get a few breaks from the constant action.
