GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose Del Cabo
March 14, 2015
The month of March is when transition time begins, seasonal changes are
very unpredictable, some years we can see warmer conditions arrive early,
that could be occurring now, as weather patterns could not be more
favorable at the present time, clear sunny skies, highs in the low 80’s and
light winds. The first wave of Spring Break vacationers are now arriving in
the Los Cabos area, this coincides with the annual San Jose del Cabo
traditional fiestas which start this week, popular events such as the
government sponsored fishing tournament out of Puerto Los Cabos Marina and
the Off Road Races at the Luis Sandoval track will both be held on Sunday.
Efforts on rebuilding the panga basin of the marina have been intense for
the past month and things are certainly looking much improved and
completion seems to be within sight. Then the chief engineers can draw
plans for even a larger project, which is reconstructing the north jetty so
that a repeat of 2014 will not happen again.
Anglers reported a complete turnaround in the fishing action, as last week
conditions had been cool and the action slowed to nearly a standstill. Now,
with this warming trend the yellowfin tuna and dorado bite has really
improved. Local fleets have been finding great action near the San Luis
Bank, with live sardinas being readily available from the commercial
pangeros, who are finding these baitfish schooling inshore near Vinorama. Drift
fishing over the bottom structure in about 150 feet of water with fly lined
baits has producing good numbers of yellowfin tuna in the 20 to 30 pound
range. Dorado have been roaming around on the same grounds, most of these
fish are running in the 10 to 15 lb. class. Even a few wahoo in the mix,
with some 15 to 25 lb. wahoo landed while using straight mono leaders
targeted for the tuna and dorado. Other wahoo also were taken on trolled
lures, as well as on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas.
Sierra action seemed to have slowed some, maybe the warmer 74 degree
current is a factor. Bottom drops over rocky structure have produced
sporadic action for bonito, a variety of pargo species, cabrilla and
triggerfish. Not much going on in the way of yellowtail, though reports
from Southern California of epic yellowtail action on large sized fish has
been almost unprecedented, possibly another el Nino in the works.
Striped marlin have continued to be spread out, though the Pacific produced
more catches than in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, unpredictable as
to what is going to happen this season, bait migrations are shifting
according to ocean temperatures as well.
The annual migration of whales is now in full swing, scores of humpback and
gray sightings. We were all reminded this week of the power that these
mammals have, earlier in the week tragedy struck on a tour boat out of Cabo
San Lucas, when they accidently collided with a whale and one passenger was
killed in the event, a Canadian woman. These magnetic animals are wild and
must be given space. Our condolences go out to everyone involved in this
accident.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 66 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of:
1 striped marlin, 8 wahoo, 88 dorado, 215 yellowfin tuna, 18 sierra, 95
Eastern Pacific bonito, 8 amberjack, 22 cabrilla, 16 huachinango, 8
roosterfish, 18 barred pargo, 24 yellow snapper triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
