Anglers –
October 22, 2017
This week is traditionally really the
time when things become very busy for
local sportfishing fleets and sure
enough the crowds have arrived in
force, almost to capacity levels. The
high stake billfish and yellowfin tuna
tournaments are in progress, with the
granddaddy of all events, the Bisbee
Black Blue, scheduled for this next
week. Weather conditions are near ideal
now, though we have felt warmer than
usual conditions recently, just the
past couple of days we saw early
mornings just slightly cooler, still in
the 70s. We do believe the next couple
of weeks should have pristine
conditions. Ocean water temperatures
have remained warm as well, with most
of the region averaging from 85 to 88
degrees. Clean blue water now within a
couple of miles from shore, swells were
moderate, though slightly increased
with the recent higher tidal swings,
larger waves make it more difficult for
the bait netters to safely reach where
the schooling sardinas are. Most days
they were able to find sufficient
supplies of the sardinas, with schools
found off of Palmilla, near marina
jetties, as well as north near
Vinorama. Squid has been the other bait
that is being offered and if possible
it is best to obtain both sardinas and
slabs of squid in order to increase
your chances, the more the better. This
is always the time frame when bait
supplies feel the heaviest demand, we
will cross our fingers that supplies
hold up throughout the fall season.
This week we saw scattered numbers of
dorado up to 20 lb. accounted for, but
as the week progressed we saw much
fewer dorado, hard to say what the deal
with that is. Only a handful of wahoo
were reported for the entire fleet,
warmer than usual water temperatures
help make wahoo more sluggish. As
currents cool down to the 80 degree
range this will usually trigger more
activity out of these highly sought
after gamefish.
Most consistent action was for
yellowfin tuna, bite was more hit or
miss that the previous week, heavy
pressure and long waits to obtain bait,
just part of the factors that come into
play this time of year. Best action was
found near San Luis Banks. Though other
areas also produced. The yellowfin were
striking on sardinas and strips of
squid while drift fishing over the
grounds, sizes of the tuna ranged from
5 lb. footballs up to 100 lb.
specimens. Catches varied from a few
fish per boat, to easy limits, some
days we saw a higher percentage of
yellowfin in the 30 to 80 lb. class,
while other days more numbers of
smaller fish, with a handful of larger
fish weighed in. Lots of tuna now in
the area, though they can become even
more finicky with increased angling
pressure.
Very little billfish action reported,
though tournaments teams are landing a
few and there is definitely the chance
that someone will be hooking into a big
black or blue marlin during the big
buck events. No inshore action to
report, such as sierra or roosterfish,
some big jack crevalle hanging around
the marina jetty area. Off the bottom
there was only sporadic catches of
various pargo, cabrilla, bonito,
pompano, amberjack and triggerfish
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 185 charters for
the week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 1 blue marlin, 1 black
marlin, 3 sailfish, 4 wahoo, 6
amberjack, 880 yellowfin tuna, 78
dorado, 28 yellow snapper, 54
huachinango, 6 pompano, 95 Eastern
Pacific bonito, 9 cabrilla (leopard
grouper), 12 barred pargo and 140
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
