WEATHER:
Still about the same as last week with nice days and some wind in the
afternoons and evening. We have had some very nice weather over the past week.
I was out last night and we had some pretty strong north winds that were pretty
cool, looks as if they were coming off the Pacific. I think in the afternoons
if your fishing on the pacific side expect some rough rides as it has been
blowing pretty good in the afternoons. Really as far as temperatures its been
really warm in the day time with mostly sunny days and cooler evenings.
WATER: Well,
there is a huge difference in the water temperatures on the East Cape compared
to closer to Cabo on the Pacific side where there is like a 10 degree
difference in water. East Cape some areas are 84 degrees and here close to Cabo
on the Pacific it is 74 degrees and colder in some spots, so quite the contrast
and this will effect the fishing in both areas as we will be catching something
completely different from them boys on the East Cape.
BILLFISH:
The Marlin fishing has been super hot with lots of Striped Marlin being landed
from Grey Rock to the 95 spot and most are being caught with live bait, lures
and ballyhoo. The average size of marlin being caught is 90lb to 150lb which is
basically the Striped Marlin average size. So no shortage of fishing action
this past week with our boats doing very well on all species.
DORADO: They
are starting to show up in better numbers but still nothing major yet. Really
slowed down this week with some Dorado being caught inshore but they seem to be
small ones. Some of the fish being caught have been 20lb to 30lb but mostly
smaller ones inshore.
SWORDFISH:
Haven't heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: A few
being landed down towards Gordo Ban.
TUNA: It has
been pretty good with reports of some boats catching some fish from 120lbs to
180lbs. Lots of football size Tuna and some ranging in the 20lb to 30lb range.
If you get past the football size fish and can drop some live bait below them
you will find the big Tuna. The smaller Tuna is hitting cedar plugs and king
busters.
INSHORE: The
pangas have been doing well with Roosters with some nice ones being landed and
ranging from 15lb to 40lb. The Rooster fishing has been going off up and around
the Light Hose on the pacific. Pangas are having a pretty rough ride this week
on the pacific side, but for the hardcore fisherman they love that stuff. So if
your into getting wet and sloppy in a Panga head on out cause the action is
good inshore. Also, some guys have been catching Skip Jack and Jack Crevail
close to shore.
