Almost all of the fish caught this week were taken between the Cabo Falso Light House and Chileno Bay, a distance of about 6-7 miles and just minutes from the Cabo Harbor. In talking with Roberto Marquez, owner of the Fish Cabo sportfishers, he explained there is no lack of billfish throughout the area and they are seeing many marlin on every outing. The difficult situation continues to be getting them to bite and unless you get real lucky, the stripers just ignore the live baits, artificials, rigged baits, etc. , and flare-up a little and then, just sink out of sight. Historically, the stripers during March & April have always been very finicky biters and this year has been no different. I've often wondered if it's the marlin mating season where the stripers focus on love and not on biting the baits? Yellowfin tuna were the fish of the week for the offshore waters, albeit, most of the fish taken were in the 15-20 lb. ranges. The overall fish counts for a total of 13 days fished reflected 7 stripers released, 1 dorado, 1 mako shark, 4 Sierra and 26 yellowfin tuna.
