While the overall fishing/catching slowed down a little this past week, it was still very good fishing and at the end of the day, every boat had fish aboard. High boat for billfish this past week was the "Gaviota X" and "Tuna Time", both with 4 stripers released for 3 days fished. "Gaviota VII" had a total of 5 stripers released for a 5-day fishing period and reported the only mako shark caught this past week. The water temps have cooled considerably on the Pacific side and the break is at Cabo Falso, just around the corner from Cabo San Lucas. where the 70-74 degree water pushes up to the 82 degree water that continues to rise to 84 degrees on into the Sea of Cortez. The overall combined fish counts for a total of 31 days fished reflected 24 stripers released, 1 mako shark, 1 wahoo, 11 dorado, (18-35 lb. fish) and 81 yellowfin tuna, (12-40 lb. fish).
