I “ 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 Eric Meek got his dorado on while fishing Mexican waters aboard the Red Rooster III on October 20.

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. Photo courtesy of EXCEL LONG RANGE SPORTFISHING, San Diego.
