Anglers –
The long hot summer has ended and we are now starting
the busy October fall season, though the weather is
still quite humid and tropical, in another couple of
weeks conditions will be ideal. There are no storms on
the horizon now, though there is still a chance of a
late season tropical system developing, with the
cooler mornings the feeling is that the Los Cabos area
has escaped another hurricane season without any
significant damage. Water temperatures are averaging
80 to 87 degrees throughout most of the region, there
has been minimal swells and slight afternoon breezes,
predominately from the north. Supplies of sardinas
remained plentiful off of La Playita and most of the
action for the panga fleets was while using these
baitfish.
The fishing action changed this past week and became
more spread out, the hot tuna action that had been
going on for the past couple of months in the area of
the Iman Bank slacked up and the numbers of fish
caught dropped significantly, though yellowfin were
still dominating the daily catch, numbers per charters
were down to an average of 3 or 4 fish, instead of
the wide open, as much as you wanted style fish that
had been going on. Cruisers from the East Cape are
still making the long run south to Iman Bank, so that
must mean that not much is going on their local
fishing grounds. There was also tuna action found off
of Palmilla, Red Hill, Santa Marina and the Hyatt
Hotel area close to Cabo San Lucas. The average sized
yellowfin have ranged from 8 to 25 pounds, though
there are many larger tuna reportedly being seen
feeding throughout the area. Most of the big fish were
not interested in striking either lures or bait, just
feeding on the schools of baitfish found on the
fishing grounds. On Saturday there was one huge
275-pound yellowfin tuna landed from the panga
“Gaviota” with skipper Modesto out of La Playita, the
big tuna was supposedly hooked outside of the Iman
Bank, but all of the details have not been reported
yet.
Dorado fishing was best near Cabo San Lucas, where
some wide open action on small to medium sized fish
was reported, do-dos were found in schools and most of
the time not associated with any floating debris. A
few larger bulls were reported, but most of the larger
dorado appear to be further into the Sa of Cortez at
this time, particularly around the La Paz region.
Billfish action was concentrated off Cabo San Lucas
from the 95 spot and towards the Pacific, where there
was a mix of blue and striped marlin being found,
though more stripers than blues were caught, also some
sailfish taken in the same areas. Several of the blue
marlin reported weighed more than 300 pounds. The fish
were coming up to strike on lures, but dropped back
live baits proved to be even more successful.
The combined La Playita panga fleets sent out
approximately 58 charters for the week and anglers
accounted for a fish count of: 3 sailfish, 12
amberjack, 6 dogtooth snapper, 72 dorado, 202
yellowfin tuna, 8 grouper, 16 skipjack, 11 rainbow
runners and 2 hammerhead sharks.
Good fishing, Eric
