Spring Break Season has brought a surge of people to Cabo San Lucas and overall, it's really good for the town. However, they are not anglers and the influx has made little difference with the number of outings for the sportfishing fleets. Then, too, the fishing has been very difficult over the past week, which also endured a port closure day due to the tsunami alerts, and when it's all added up, the total seems to equal the normal, historical slowness for fishing during the month of March. The two fleets we report for have a combined total of 100 fishing days available each week and this week's report reflects only 5 of those days were fished that reflected 1 striper released and 8 yellowfin tuna. While the boats are still seeing the stripers, getting them to bite has been the secret and the combined knowledge of many years of skippers' experience hasn't seemed to make a change. Lighter line, lighter leaders, smaller hooks, rigged baits, un-rigged baits, live baits, lure changes, etc, has not changed the bite ratio.

Cabo Climate:
Excellent, clear and sunny, warm days and pleasant evenings, with temps from 61 nights to 88 daytime highs.
