The striper action at the Golden Gate is still going pretty strong,
albeit, the full moon has hampered the catching a little in
conjunction with the cooling water trends. At this time, we only
have the report from the Fish Cabo Fleet for a total of 9 fishing
days, reflecting a total of 9 stripers, 8 yellowfin tuna, 12 dorado,
1 wahoo, 31 sierra and 1 bonito. The interesting part of the catch
report is the various areas for the different fishing. Golden Gate
for the marlin, into the beach and southerly for the sierra, most of
the dorado from El Arco to Chileno, a wahoo from Gorda Banks and 2
roosterfish from the Gorda Point area. At least the anglers had some
choices that didn't have to focus on the billfish only action of the
past few months.
Cabo Climate: Partly cloudy days, cooler nights, temps from 61
nights to 80 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Starting to see some cooling trend with the waters
on both, the Pacific side and the Sea of Cortez side. Current sea
temps are 72 at the Golden Gate & slowly rising to 73-74 at the Gorda
Banks. Above the Gorda Banks, the temps fall rapidly to 67 degrees
as it does just above the Finger Bank on the Pacific side.
Best Fishing Area: Continues to be on the Golden Gate Bank for
billfish and inshore from there is an excellent sierra bite.
Best bait/lure: Live bait at the Golden Gate for billfish is still
the leader of the catches.
Live Bait Supply: Remains very good even with the full moon
conditions and can still be replenished at the Golden Gate Bank and
occasionally at the Cabo Falso drop-off.
