San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
December 3, 2017
The fall season is finally now starting
to wind down, as fewer tourists were
seen this past week, as Thanksgiving is
now past and people now have other
priorities preparing for the Christmas
and New Year’s Holidays coming up.
Weather is now ideal, north winds have
not been over powering as they can be
this time of year, clear skies with
high temperatures of about 85 degrees.
Ocean temperature now holding in the 78
to 81 degree range, very favorable for
fishing prospects throughout the month
of December. Great time to visit now,
with lighter crowds, perfect weather
conditions and a variety of gamefish
opportunities now being found on local
fishing grounds.
Supplies of sardinas continue to be
sufficient for anglers, these small
baitfish are now schooling off the
rocky beach stretches from Palmilla to
Cabo Real. Other bait options include
slabs of squid or trying to find and
catch your own chihuil, as well as
using chunks of skipjack. Sardinas
proved to be the most productive all
around bait.
Most common catches were for yellowfin
tuna in the 10 to 30 lb. range, we only
saw a handful of tuna up in the 50 to
70 lb. range this past week. Even the
smaller grade tuna were finicky much of
the time, anglers could see the
yellowfin jumping out of the water and
feeding freely on the chummed sardinas,
but they often would not readily take
the baits with hooks in them. Very
clear water, boat pressure, coming full
moon, all can be factors for this.
Though with patience, most charters
were able to accountant for tuna
catches averaging 4 to 8 fish per boat.
The Palmilla Point, Santa Maria, Los
Arcos, Iman Bank all produced fish, the
larger grade of tuna were coming off of
the Iman and San Luis Banks.
Wahoo slowed way down compared to the
previous week when Vinorama was
producing some wide open action. This
week the wahoo were being found closer,
such as off of Gordo Banks, Punta
Gorda, Palmilla and Iman Bank, though
not in any significant numbers, anglers
were fortunate to land one of them,
sizes ranged to 45 lb. With water
temperatures still warm, we do
anticipate having more wahoo activity
throughout the month. Dorado were found
scattered on the same grounds as were
the tuna and wahoo, though numbers were
very limited, and most of these fish
were under 10 lb., with a rare larger
specimen in the mix.
Reports from the Pacific for good
action on striped marlin, with multiple
fish per charter being the rule. In the
direction of San Jose del Cabo, the
billfish action was limited, a few
single stripers and black marlin
hanging around.
Ae water temperatures are slowly
cooling, we are see some more sierra
show up closer to shore, a few nicer
fish to over 5 lb. Also some of the
more elusive island jacks were found.
Off the bottom structure we saw a
little more production of amberjack,
barred pargo, triggerfish, leopard
grouper (cabrilla) and at least one
nice 28 lb. yellowtail was landed.
Quite a few white skipjack were mixed
in with the schools of yellowfin tuna
and a few of the Eastern Pacific
bonito.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 91 charters for
the week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 1 black marlin, 1 striped
marlin, 26 wahoo, 36 sierra, 440
yellowfin tuna, 46 dorado, 15
amberjack, 13 yellow snapper, 12
huachinango, 26 island jack, 12 barred
pargo, 14 Eastern Pacific bonito, 110
white skipjack, 1 yellowtail, 16
cabrilla and 145 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
