The fishing from Cabo San Lucas was like the Stock Market, up one day and down the next and for no apparent reason. It was just the way it was. High boat for the week was the "Gaviota XI", releasing 2 sailfish and a striper and landing 11 dorado and 11 skipjack tuna for three fishing days. Overall fish counts for the Gaviota Sportfishing Fleet only, for a total of 6 days fished reflected 1 striper released, 2 sailfish released, 13 dorado and 11 skipjack tuna. "Tuna Time" did not fish this week and the "Fish Cabo" is receiving a complete renovation, including new twin diesel engines and will be back on line on September 1, 2011.

Cabo Climate:
Mostly cloudy this week with the threat of rain and temps that ranged from 74 nights to 94 daytime highs and higher than normal humidity levels.

Sea Conditions:
Generally, very good with excellent water temps on both sides of the peninsula. 84-86 degrees on the Pacific side out to 20 miles or so and then sliding a couple of degrees. Cabo Falso, out to the 1000 fathom curve and around to the east and the Sea of Cortez, temps were at 87-88 degrees.

Best Fishing Area:
All of the fish were taken on the Pacific side of the peninsula, but there were no specific hot spots to draw from and very few boats fishing.

Best Lure/Bait:
Live bait was the best bet for the billfish and dorado and smaller feathers for the bonito.

Live Bait Supply:
An excellent supply of caballitos this week.
