Traffic on the East Cape has been very light most of this season. Each resort in the area is far from full occupancy and only sending out a hand full of fishing boats each day. With this the boats that are fishing are enjoying a lot of real estate to them selves and are not being swarmed by other boats when schooling dorado or tuna are found.

The Dorado Shoot out is this coming weekend which will certainly increase traffic. Huge dorado in the 50 to 60 pound class have been brought to the docks every day which is adding to the excitement of this up coming event.

The East Cape Bisbee starts in two weeks and blue marlin are showing on the seen in bigger numbers everyday. This should be a good one!

After a great fishing trip in May Tom Shellenberger and Colin Fryer of Moab Utah returned to fish Jen Wren III and hunt the cow tuna they had been reading about in our fish reports. It turned out to be a case of "you should have been here yesterday". Upon arriving at the 88 spot where the big tuna had been, we found that the water had dropped 5 degrees from the previous day and turned green. With the change in conditions the toads were nowhere to be found. The boys did manage to catch a nice mixed bag of dorado, tuna, marlin and sailfish.
