Anglers –
Noticeable lighter crowds of visitors
arriving, after Thanksgiving we do
normally see a decline of anglers, as
people now are beginning to prepare
for the Christmas Holidays, now just
around the corner. Weather patterns
did finally stabilize and this week we
saw much calmer ocean conditions, no
crazy rain fall, mostly clear sunny
skies, temperatures into the low 80s,
really an ideal climate for this time
of year.
Ocean actually warmed back up a couple
of degrees, averaging about 80
degrees now. Bait situation is that
sardinas are scarce out of San Jose del
Cabo, now being found schooling near
Cabo San Lucas, makes it tough to have
to back track so far. So local fleets
are mainly relying on caballito,
ballyhoo, slabs of squid and if
fortunate enough to find some chihuil,
they
proved the best for wahoo. Some
mackerel started to appear now off of
the
Hotel Zone, still not consistent from
day to day, as water temps cool some
more, we expect more of these mackerel
and sardineta will move in.
Over all anglers found the bite to be
tougher to start the week, mainly due
to north wind, though later in the week
the wind laid down, water cleared
up and bite was good for yellowfin
tuna, wahoo and dorado. Most of the
action was from Gordo Banks, Cardon, La
Fortuna and off of Punta Gorda.
Best action was on bait, some having to
be worked for, especially the
chihuil, they proved to be the candy
for wahoo. The Gordo Banks produced
yellowfin tuna up over 200 lb., larger
fish lost, though numbers were not
great, but with patience and persistent
effort there were some quality
fish. Strips of squid, small skipjack,
chihuil and caballito all produced.
Wahoo action picked up, trolling live
baits was best, fish up to over 45
lb., though some were taken on Repalas.
Dorado were mixed in on the same
grounds, but scattered, up close to 20
lb. Unusual to find some roosterfish
action further offshore while trolling
for dorado and wahoo, nice sized
fish to 30 lb. Also a couple of
yellowtail, one was an impressive 38
lb.
and there was a 70 lb. amberjack, they
were taken while chunk fishing for
tuna on the Gordo Banks. If weather
holds it looks like very promising
opportunities for the rest of the
month. So things are improving after
recent rain squalls, landscape is a
lush green, plenty of warm sunshine and
great fishing.
Billfish was limited off of San Jose
deal Cabo, a scattering of striped
marlin and a couple small blues. Still
better marlin action now on the
Pacific. More whales are now being seen
with each passing day, it will be
peak season coming up for these
migrating mammals. Sea lions, manta
rays,
porpoise, turtles and of course some
sharks, which have been taking their
share of the tuna catch, have added to
entertainment.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 82 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 2 blue marlin, 2 striped
marlin, 66 dorado, 98 yellowfin tuna,
56 wahoo, 4 yellow snapper, 5
cabrilla, 16 bonito, 6 sierra, 9
roosterfish, 5 baqueta, 3 surgeonfish,
2
yellowtail, 3 amberjack, 2 pompano and
30 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
