Weather has been great, warmer than usual fall conditions continue. There
has been some persistent wind out of the north, but close to shore anglers
were able to find fish in more protected areas. Water temperature now in
the 79 to 81 degree range, slightly warmer than we would expect during this
time frame. As the busy fall season now winds down, we are dealing with the
second wave of Covid pandemic worries, though locally we have not seen a
surge in cases and safety protocols have been strict, people are living in
fear as to what is going to happen in the coming months.
Schools of sardinas remain healthy near the marina jetties, also some
caballito being found. Other bait options included ballyhoo and slabs of
squid. The majority of charters are now heading towards the north, from the
Gordo Banks, Iman, San Luis and to Vinorama, while a few boats are working
areas from San Jose del Cabo, south towards Cabo San Lucas. Action has been
somewhat spread out, no particular hot spot. Most popular grounds this week
were Iman and San Luis, this is where the better chances at hooking into
the yellowfin tuna was.
The tuna proved increasingly finicky this past week, most days the
yellowfin were seen in good numbers coming out of the water, putting on a
show boiling on the chummed sardinas, but were extremely line shy. It did
not make sense to use leader lighter than 40 lb., because chances of
landing these fish on too light of line was minimal, the average fish that
were being landed were in the 50 to 75 lb. class, some larger and a few in
the 20 to 30 lb. range as well. Overall anglers were doing very well if
they landed one or two of these tuna, though there are definitely lots of
these fish in the area and on any given day could become more cooperative.
Through the first half of the week there was very good action for wahoo
found near Vinorama, these fish were coming up on the chummed sardinas and
hitting the small baits on straight mono, not the normal way we usually
fish these toothy gamefish, skippers were using small long shanked hooks to
help from getting cut off, the wahoo did not like the wire leaders. Many of
the wahoo were hooked up on cast yo-yo type jigs, at least as many hook ups
were lost as were brought to gaff. Of course the word on this good action
traveled fast, scores of spear fishermen also headed to this inshore spot
and the bite slowed way down just as fast as it had developed.
Dorado were scarcer this past week on the grounds off of San Jose del Cabo,
most of the fish we did see were very small, though we did hear of better
numbers towards the Pacific.
On the Gordo Banks there have been anglers targeting cow sized yellowfin, a
couple of big fish were lost after extended battles, we did not hear of any
other monster yellowfin being landed. There were at least a couple of black
marlin that were brought in, these fish were in the 300 to 600 lb. range.
We do believe that more big tuna are still on these grounds and certainly
another will be hauled in before long.
Not much being found off the bottom besides triggerfish, bonito and mostly
smaller sized snapper. Along the shoreline there have been sierra, but not
consistent from day to day, still early in the season for these cooler
water species.
Good fishing, Eric
