Unusually slow for anglers this past week from Cabo San Lucas, resulting in a mini-fish count for the week that reflected a combined total of 4 offshore fishing days and 1 inshore fishing day. While the wall of warmer water remains just above the Gorda Banks, it dropped several degrees from last week as the cooler waters from the Pacific are pushing around the corner. The offshore fish counts reflected 3 stripers (released) for the 4 days fished and 12 sierra for the 1 inshore fishing day. The concentration of billfish that were on the 1150 fathom spot last week have moved and have yet to re- establish a new area.

Cabo Climate:
Superb weather with sunny, clear and warm days and pleasant evenings with temps from 64 nights to 91 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Even with the temp changes from last week, the waters remain excellent in clarity on the Sea of Cortez side. Pacific is still cool, 65-69 this week and the temp break is at Cabo Falso, rising to 73-74, extending offshore 10-15 miles and then decreasing to 71 at the 1000 fathom curve. Gorda Banks and above rise to 75-77 degrees and very blue, clean water.

Best Fishing area:
Two of the billfish were taken outside Chileno Bay and the other was taken at the 1150 Fathom Spot, but no fish concentration in the areas fished.

Best Lure/Bait:
The three released billfish were taken on live bait.

Live Bait Supply:
It was just so-so for the bait this past week with some caballito and a few mackerel available, along with an array of miscellaneous not so good baits.
