GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
July 23, 2017
Another week with light crowds and increasingly warmer weather. The latest
tropical storm which has developed off of Southern Mexico is named Greg, it
is following the recent trend and heading on a westerly track offshore, all
we felt from this system was perhaps more tropical climate with increased
humidity. Winds were relatively light, morning calmer, with breeze picking
up mid-day on. Ocean temperatures are back up in the 80 to 84 degree range
on the Sea of Cortez side of the Peninsula and on the Pacific Banks it is
about 78 degrees.
Sportfishing fleets have been fishing from Chileno, Palmilla, Gordo Banks,
to Iman and San Luis. Action was spread out now. Largest fish we heard of
was early in the week, a 428 lb. black marlin which was hooked into while
trolling a lure around the Gordo Banks, other highlight was a 100 lb. class
yellowfin tuna landed on Thursday. Most common catches were for a smaller
grade of 10 to 20 pound yellowfin, these fish were scattered throughout the
inshore region, striking on trolled hoochies and smaller Rapalas. This
action started out strong early in the week, was more spread out by the
weekend. These schooling tuna were not associated with porpoise, just found
in open water, along the inshore drop off.
A few more numbers of dorado, though most of these were under 8 lb., only
an occasional larger specimen seen. Tolling same type of tuna lures was the
best bet to find these fish. Inshore there was decent action for
roosterfish, hot spot perhaps off of the San Jose Hotel zone, fish to
over40 lb. were landed, also many juveniles mixed in.
The action off the bottom was up and down, one day good, next day slim,
mainly targeting red snapper (huachinango), in the 4 to 12 lb. range, found
near San Luis Bank and hooked up with yo-yo style jigs. Only a few
amberjack were found. No dogtooth snapper to speak of either, only a couple
of small ones. The months of July and August is when we normally to find
the largest of amberjack and dogtooth snapper, so our fingers are crossed
that these normal patterns are just running a little being typical
schedules.
Bait supplies consisted of mullet and caballito, some anglers are starting
to try their luck with strips of squid, but so far noting has been
consistent with that, need a larger grade of yellowfin to move in, it is
the time of year we do regularly see the quality grade tuna move in.
Some limited wahoo activity was reported this week, more strikes missed and
lures cut off than fish caught, this happened while trolling for the tuna,
though a couple of wahoo up to 25 lb. were landed. First of these we have
seen in a while. With inshore waters cleaning back up, blue water is what
wahoo prefer. If water temperatures become too much warmer these fish often
become more sluggish.
We heard of one 45 lb. class snook landed off the beach in the evening,
these world class fish are in the area, though you have to put in some
serious effort and be fortunate to land one.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 59 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 1 black marlin, 4 striped marlin,24 dorado, 2
wahoo, 8 amberjack, 16 bonito, 11 yellow snapper, 4 barred pargo, 185
yellowfin tuna, 10 leopard grouper, 2 dogtooth snapper, 84 huachinango, 9
jack crevalle, 68 roosterfish, 2 pompano and 22 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
