Report Date:
http://www.cortezcharters.comThe Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas continues to be the mainstay of
the fish bite action and all of the various sportfishers reported
from that side of the peninsula this past week. Billfish counts
remained on the slow side for most of the boats but the "Fish Cabo",
skippered by Captain Gil Marquez, had a 3 striper release day that
accounted for nearly half of the week's billfish catches. It's not
for a lack of fish as the skippers are seeing and baiting the fish
everyday. The critters just don't want to bite. The fish of the
week was the yellowfin tuna with the bulk of the fish in the 15-25
lb. ranges and a few that ranged to 40 lbs. The overall counts for
19 combined fishing days reflected 7 stripers released, 9 dorado, 1
roosterfish, 1 sierra, 1 wahoo, 2 skipjack tuna and 67 yellowfin tuna.
Cabo Climate: Sunny, warm and clear with temps ranging from 57
nights to 82 daytime highs and light surface breezes at 5-10 knots.
Sea Conditions: Good blue water and temps in the 75-76 degree ranges
that span from the Golden Gate, wrapping Cabo to the above the Gorda
Banks. Very little swell and light surface breezes.
Best Fishing Area: Los Arcos, Migrino and Golden Gate Bank areas
continue to be the better spots. The main fishing triangle extends
from Cabo Falso to Golden Gate Bank, southerly to the Jaime Bank and
back into Cabo Falso.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait for the billfish has been almost a must
have. The yellowfin tuna biting at the feathers, cedar plugs.
Bait Supply: Been a good week for bait with both, caballitos and
mackerel.
