Fishing
Report
February 2017
Winter
conditions have finally settled in Cabo. This means water temps in the low 70’s
and a slightly different approach to the action. We are still seeing a good
striped marlin bite, both with live bait and lures; 2-3 shots per day are the
norm and most of the action is on the Pacific side. We have been using some new
light tackle gear made by Shimano. These beautiful fish are amazing to catch
and release on light tackle.
The Bad
Medicine practices Tag and Release with special tags provided by the Billfish
Foundation. One of our fish was recently caught, and had been at large for
1,065 days. Check out this link to see the story. Catch and
release really makes a difference, and we are proud to do our part.
The tuna
bite has also been consistent. Anglers are filling coolers and slicing sashimi
like crazy these days with many fish in the 10-20 lb range. The cooler water
also brings on the in-shore bite with plenty of sierra mackerel and yellowtail
showing now. We love fishing the bottom for the big California Yellowtail that
show up here each winter, and for those that have never caught one straight
below the boat on a jigging spoon, you need to experience this! We also fill
coolers with these beautiful fish and slice sashimi like crazy with them as
well!
