http://www.cortezcharters.comEven though the water temps are up and the overall conditions
appear to be nothing short of excellent, the fishing has been
relatively slow over the past week or so. A few blue marlin are
appearing in the lure patterns, but very few seem eager to bite and

Overall, the combined fish counts for the Gaviota Sportfishing
Fleet and the Fish Cabo Fleet declined this week and reflected 14
stripers, (11 released) 1 sailfish, 1 wahoo, 5 dorado and 24
yellowfin tuna for the 31 fishing days reported.
Cabo Climate: Warming up, temps from 75 nights to 97 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Ranged from 81 at the Golden Gate Bank to 87 at
the Gorda Banks in the Sea of Cortez. Generally, favorable
conditions, good clarity and light surface winds.
Best Fishing Area: There didn't appear to be any real
concentration of fish, with a scattering throughout the lower
Pacific side of the peninsula, from the Golden Gate Bank and back

Best Lure/Bait: Most of the billfish taken on live bait.
Live Bait Supply: Caballitos were in good supply.
