“
t’s been a wonderful fall so
far and we are still seeing lots
of fishing hitting the dock each
and every day,” exclaimed Eddie
Dalmau of Van Wormer Resorts.
“This past week the tuna bite has
been great with lots of tuna in the
30-100 pound range landed.”
“The tuna seem to be to the
north and to the south, and they are
hitting on a little bit of everything
including sardinas, squid, plugs
and lures. The Mahi Mahi landed
a nice 97 pound yellowfin a few
days ago to secure the victory in
the 2017 Let’s Talk Hookup Tour-
nament, which saw close to 50
anglers compete this weekend for
$1,000 cash, a return trip to Palmas
De Cortez, Maui Jim Sunglasses
and more. This year’s winning
team and winners of the return trip
were Rhonda and Tom Gruber,”
related Dalmau.
“The wahoo bite has continued
strong and we are having one of, if
not the best, wahoo seasons in re-
cent history. Our good friend Joey
Krys, and his two boys Wyatt and
Eli had a triple
hookup on their
way to a total of
5 wahoo in one
day on board the
cruiser Marlin
Magic. Also our
friend Jeff Schuh
come down to
fish with Chuy on
the Rude Baby
and he landed his
first wahoo ever,
so he can now
scratch that off
his bucket list. I
have heard many
people comment
that they have
been coming

down here for more than 20
years and this has been their
first wahoo as well,” related
Dalmau.
“The roosters came in
strong last week with many
boats landing several rooster in
a day. The Maria II out of Ho-
tel Playa Del Sol let the way
with 10 roosters in a single
day. We had a client come up
from Cabo, as he said the fish-
ing was very slow in Cabo and
wanted to try fishing up in East
Cape. I set him up with the
cruiser Balihoo. All he wanted
was one rooster for him and
one for his buddy. They fished
the following morning and
landed jacks, a pargo, 2 sailfish
and 3 roosters. They said they
would be back,” exclaimed
Dalmau.
“We are also seeing lots
of jack crevalle, blue marlin,
striped marlin, sailfish, pargo,
dorado, tuna, wahoo, roosters,
jacks and much much more.
The fall is a great time to be
fishing in the East Cape. If you
have some free time, make
your way down here and you
will have a blast fishing,” Dal-
mau continued.
Mark Thomann broke the 300 pound mark when he
landed this huge 321 pound yellowfin tuna aboard
San Diego’s Excel on November 7.
