Fishing Tournament ends at the East Cape Mexico
The Los Angeles Times has reported a successful conclusion of the tournament 976tuna Fiesta in Baja East Cape region. Sea of Cortez marlin and dorado are stuffed with squid, so it was difficult to get them to bite.

However, Mary and Kenny Cochran of Torrance caught and released their first marlin, and Mary has won the contest with a Dorado 47-pound mahi-mahi.

Also the release of their first marlin Lamar Lee and Emmett Olvera of Costa Mesa.

Winning the Bass Pro Shops/976tuna part surf fishing contest - by landing a multitude of species from the beach - was Steve Kechichian, making a 13-year pause in its fight against the much larger leukemia.

One of the greatest moments were when Paul Harris Agoura Hills and his brother, Jeff, have been greeted by a whale shark swam by 23 foot beside the boat long enough to get them to jump overboard and take a Baja sleigh ride.

Tournament Finals Day was, required of any Baja fiesta, the bar Palmas Hotel Cortez.

Cabo nightmare continues

East Cape fishing is exceptionally bad, and a chief factor can be unrelenting fishing by large commercial seiners.

"Bad news was the seiners showed again and packed all the fish," Fly Hooker Sportfishing Captain George Landrum glumly reports. "The government can and now we have nothing to fish."

It makes no sense to allow such a large commercial fishing operation so close - even within sight of - tourists who contribute millions each year to the economy.

But when did Cabo San Lucas, Mexico fishing laws, and the means by which they are applied, meaning?
