Have you ever noticed that the same boats almost always appear in
the "high boat for the week\" ? This week is no different and the
same two boats lead the group. \"Tuna Time\", skippered by Captain
Christian Lopez, reported in for 4 fishing days with a great catch of
6 stripers released, 3 sailfish released, 1 wahoo, 15 dorado and 2
yellowfin tuna. Not far behind was Captain Juan Dominguez, skipper
of the \"Gaviota VIII\", reflecting 7 stripers and 6 yellowfin tuna for
5 fishing days. The overall combined catches for the fleet,
reporting for a total off 25 days fished, reflected 26 stripers, (21
released) 3 sailfish released, 1 wahoo, 36 yellowfin tuna and 49
dorado. Overall, the fishing has improved this past week as we came
into the full moon and this may reflect a change for better fishing
on the horizon.
Cabo Climate: Warm nights & hot days, temps from 78 nights to 102
daytime highs, with partly cloudy conditions.
Sea Conditions: Golden Gate Bank to Chileno was fairly stable at
85-86 degrees with a little plume of cooler water jutting out from
Cabo Falso at 80 degrees. From Chileno to Las Frailes, the temps
gradually rose from 86-89 degrees.
Best Fishing Area: Most of the billfish came from the Golden Gate
Bank area with the exception to the 3 sailfish from the 95 Fathom Spot.
Best Bait/Lure: Live bait was best and worked well on the drop-back
to fish on the lures.
Live bait supply: Back to normal with a good supply of caballitos.
