The typical hoot (1/15/2012)
[East Cape,BJ] Tired of watching the wind blow we took our annual camping trip to Mag Bay. This is the time of year on the full moon and new moon that we experience extreme tides.

That's The Breaks (12/26/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] Reflecting back on our fishing year for 2011, Jen Wren boats had some good breaks and some bad breaks. Thankfully some days the fish gods just tossed us one and I call that a lucky break. I have posted some images of just a few of the lucky breaks we had this year.

BAJA OR ALASKA (12/19/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] The beach has been a different story and you almost have to take a number to get a good fishing spot. The sea life has been putting on an incredible show with birds diving and fish in a feeding frenzy driving huge schools of sardines to the waters edge. Sierra Mackerel, rooster fish, ladyfish, and jack cravelle have all been in the mix.

THE WITCH DOCTOR (12/12/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] I do want to share an experience we had while fishing last week along with some pretty cool photos. One of our last days out there slow trolling for marlin with skipjack for bait we were not having any luck. I decided to try putting out a Witch-Doctor teaser. It is a rather large mirrored thing that rocks back and forth while being trolled and reflects sun light. In the right conditions it looks like a strobe going off in the water behind the boat.

HERE COME DA JUDGE (12/04/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] Upon leadering Bob's fish I discovered it had also been lassoed around the bill and was not hooked either. I guess the fish gods looked down on us and said this is going to be your day.

IT WAS COCKPIT CHAOS! (11/27/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] It didn't take long and bam we were bit. I was ready with my camera as Chuy set the hook. Hang on, wham! The second rod goes off. With the camera in one hand I set up on the second fish. Wait a minute, slam! The third rod goes off. We are both laughing so hard and with our hands full we can't set up on the third fish.

Better Late Than Never On The Dorado Fishing Season (11/22/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] East Cape is experiencing the best dorado bite of the season. In shore and near shark buoys dorado have arrived in big numbers and are on the feed. Striped marlin have also been plentiful off La Ribera and Punta Pescadero. In shore sierra mackerel along with rooster fish are cooperating with anglers up and down the coast.

A Bizarre Fish Tail (11/14/2011)
[La Paz,BJ] Finally the seas have calmed and yesterday I fished on Mi Corazon with owner Andrew Hughes and a couple of his buddies. We fished in shore between Punta Colorada and the light house and witnessed dorado in a feeding frenzy. Andrew also landed his first sierra of this season.

Know ing when to fold em (11/08/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] Okay, what to do. The run to the hot spot off La Ribera was only about a half hour. Should we join the fleet or wait for the fish to show? With clients we probably would have left a long time ago and headed for the sure thing. I liked my cards though

CHANGES IN LATITUDES CHANGES IN ATTITUDES (10/30/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] This has been an incedable season. In just a few more weeks conditions will change and we will pull the Jen Wren boats until spring.

JUST FOR KICKS (9/11/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] EAST CAPE TUNA FISHING IS WFO! Just for kicks I broke out an Accurate spinning reel. It is amazing how much heat that little spinner will allow you to put on a fish.

Making ajustments (5/13/2011)
[East Cape,BJ] Ajustments for success when the fish won't bite.
