Report Date:
http://www.cortezcharters.comThe first day of the Bisbee Tournament was perhaps the best first
fishing day the tournament has ever had and as always, an assortment
of unfounded rumors to go along with the day. At the moment, we
don't have the day's final information but reports say there were 6-7
qualifying fish weighed in for the day and still, another two days
left to produce the final trophy. 2010 marks the first year in the
Bisbee Tournament history that we had no boats fishing in the event
and I would assume that the overall entry numbers were down for this
year. Separate from the Tournament, the overall fishing has been
very good, especially for dorado, and even a good report for the
wahoo catches with 95% of the action still taking place on the
Pacific side of Cabo. The overall combined fish counts for 35 fished
days reflected 14 stripers released, 1 sailfish released, 8 yellowfin
tuna, 10 wahoo and 114 dorado.
Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny and clear with temps from 68 nights to 88
daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Pacific side, Finger Bank to Jaime Bank and inshore
to Cristobal @81-82. Cristobal and around to Chileno @83. Chileno
and out to the 95, up to the 11250 and into the Gorda Banks at
84-85. Clean, blue water in all directions with very light surface
breezes.
Best Lure/Bait: Stripers have been about 50-50 on bait and lures,
wahoo on the black & purple artificials, dorado on lures & live bait
and tuna on the feathers.
Best Fishing Area: Continues to be on the Pacific side with notable
action increasing in the Golden Gate Bank area.
Live Bait Supply: Remains good even with the increased requirement
for the Tournament.
