The fishing remained pretty good this past week from Cabo San Lucas, and while we had no black or blue marlin caught, there were a few very early releases and about 75% of the boats reported the landing of a billfish. The "Gaviota IV", skippered by Captain Octavio Castillo, had a 3 striper release day on Wednesday, fishing in the 1150 fathom vicinity. The "Gaviota III", sippered by Captain Manuel Castillo, had the only sailfish release for the week and "Tuna Time", skippered by Captain Christian Lopez, reported the only wahoo. The overall combined fish counts for the fleet for 11 days fished reflected 1 sailfish released, 7 stripers released, 1 wahoo, 3 yellowfin tuna and 23 dorado.

Cabo Climate: Partly cloudy days with temps from 76 nights to 93 daytime highs and a little humid.

Sea Conditions: Very good on both sides of the peninsula. Pacific side temps ranged from 82-83 and wrapped the Cape to the Gorda Banks and then rose to 86-87 degrees. Good, blue water and fishable in all areas.

Best Fishing Area: The 1150 Fathom spot was the best for stripers but overall, Cabo Falso to Migrino provided the best action.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait best for the billfish, albeit, several were attracted on the mackerel colored artificials. Dorado were scattered about the close to shore areas on the Pacific side and bit the lures and live bait.

Live Bait Supply: Mostly caballito at the regular $3.00 rate.
