Sea of Cortez- East Cape Fishing Report, Saltwater Fishing Report

AND THE BEAT GOES ON
The East Cape continues to enjoy an unprecedented big tuna season. In years past the Jen Wren team have always managed to land a handful of tuna over a hundred pounds but it really wasn't all that common. This year the big boys showed up in May and have been giving anglers all they want ever since. It is always exciting watching rod tips thump from the tail beat of big tuna.

In May we were finding the big dogs with bottle nosed dolphin and then the spotted and spinner dolphin showed and joined the party. Now it seems the dolphin have left the building and large schools of the bruisers are camping out on the 88 fathom spot.

The best bite has been in the afternoon when most of the boat traffic leaves. Several days we have witnessed the fish pop up as soon as the traffic thins outs. This has made long days for us but has also been very rewarding watching anglers have an experience of a life time with these trophy sized fish.

Right on cue blue marlin have shown on the seen. This is exciting news with the East Cape Bisbee in just over 3 weeks. Yesterday Mahatini brought in a blue that scaled out at 503 pounds. Just a bit further off shore and also near the shark buoys quality sized dorado and smaller tuna have been cooperating with anglers.

This has been an outstanding week for Jen Wren III. The smiles on anglers faces in the photos below tell the whole story.
