Anglers –
December 16, 2018
There continues to be a noticeable lack
of visiting tourists now, as families
prepare for Christmas and are not doing
much raveling now. We do anticipate
more people arriving over the upcoming
school vacation period. Weather was
cooler this week, persistent north
winds continued as well, so far to date
we have seen more wind than we normally
do, just one of those years. Scattered
cloud cover, high temperatures of 75 to
80 degrees. Ocean water temperatures
has been ranging from 75 to 78 degrees,
we expect to see more of a cooler trend
with the northerly winds pushing in
cooler currents.
Still no signs of a new resource for
sardinas, caballito continue to be
netted in the marina channel, other
bait options for anglers have included
strips of squid and ballyhoo. Local
sportfishing fleets are searching out
the fishing grounds from Chileno to
Vinorama, most consistent action has
been found from Iman to Vinorama, the
problem is that this is where the wind
has been blowing the grounds out of
shape and making it more difficult to
drift fish for the yellowfin tuna.
Anglers were doing well to land two or
three tuna, these yellowfin ranged in
sizes from 10 to 80 lb., most being in
the 10 to 20 lb. class. The highlight
catch for the week definitely was the
super cow sized tuna that was brought
in by a team of local anglers on
Monday, this yellowfin tuna was weighed
in at 313 lb. and was hooked into on
the Gordo Banks on a piece of squid,
quite an impressive tuna for this late
in the season, it took the team close
to an hour and a half to bring the
monster to gaff.
Besides the sporadic bite for the tuna,
dorado and wahoo proved to be even more
elusive. Only a scattering of these
gamefish were encountered. Hard to say
what the coming weeks will bring,
cooler, off colored greenish ocean
conditions now, seasonal transition
time. Should start to see schools of
mackerel and sardineta move in, this
migration brings in more fish.
Off the shoreline charters were doing
well for roosterfish, not normally the
known season for these fish, but they
are around at this time, particularly
in front of the San Jose del Cabo hotel
zone. Most of these roosterfish are
smaller sized juveniles, under ten
pounds, with an occasional larger
specimen in the mix. Please remember to
always release these prized fighting
gamefish, they are known more for
trophy fish, take a photo and release,
not known for their eating quality.
Not much bottom action being done,
swift currents and dominance of
triggerfish the main deal. We did have
one nice Californian sheepshead, island
jack, some pargo and a couple of
amberjack and bonito.
Billfish is mainly going on the Pacific
now, very little marlin action off of
San Jose del Cabo now, when there food
source moves this direction the marlin
will follow.
Whale migration is now moving in the
direction of peak season, more of these
mammals are being seen daily.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 71 charters for
the week. Anglers reported a fish count
of: 1 sailfish, 3 striped marlin, 12
dorado, 4 wahoo, 105 yellowfin tuna, 10
bonito, 5 white skipjack, 14 red
snapper, 10 yellow snapper, 2
amberjack, 1 sheepshead, 6 cabrilla, 4
mohara, 1 island jack, 12 sierra, 48
roosterfish and 55 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
