WEATHER: Well the only way to describe it is really hot and
being mid summer in Cabo it is nothing new but we are experiencing a much
hotter year than previous summers. I have been here a long time, and this is
pretty extreme as far as heat goes. Highs are pushing 100 degrees about every
day except for today, as I am writing this report we have some overcast skies
and its not as hot as it has been but is really humid today. We don’t expect
any changes in daytime temperatures so if you’re coming to Cabo expect some
pretty warm days.
WATER: Water has changed a bit over last week getting
cooler. The temps I noticed on the Tempbreak map was 80 to 83 degrees, which is
pretty warm all over. If we could get some decent weather I think the fishing
would be off the hook. Please check out Tempbreak to get a
good idea on water temperatures.
BILLFISH: Blue Marlin fishing has been hot this past week
with some being landed in the 200lb range to 300lbs. The warm water has brought
in the Blues but we aren’t really complaining as it has been an action filled
week for sport fishing in Cabo. There has been like 1 to 3 Blues being hooked
ever day over last week. Most of the big Blues were hitting live bait and lures
from the 95 spot to the 1150. The Striped Marlin fishing has been much slower
due we think, to the really warm water, as the Stripers prefer the water a
little cooler than we have right now. Sailfish fishing has been pretty hot also
this past week with multiple fish being fought and landed, of course we always
like to release any Billfish we land. Every year about this time when the Tuna
and Dorado fishing slow lots of the crews on the sportfishing boats will want
to kill there catches, including Marlin. Please DO NOT give in to this request
and explain the charter company and the crew before you leave the dock that you
are not into killing the Marlin. Explain that you want to release any Marlin or
Sailfish caught. Please practice CATCH and RELEASE for your kids and grandkids
have the same experiences as you and your family now.
DORADO: 2 miles offshore some action for Dorado. Dorado
fishing really isn’t happening right now and we really aren’t sure when it will
kick into gear, its basically a hit and miss deal if you want Dorado. As we
have been reporting the Dorado fishing hasn’t really kicked into gear this year
or even last year. There has been some caught this past week, and it is better
than last week. Most of the fish caught were smaller ones but they are out
there and we are happy about that.
SWORDFISH: Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: Not to many reported over this past week.
TUNA: : A few Tuna caught while we were fishing for Marlin
with lures. There was one Tuna landed at around 70lbs but the rest were like
football size fish.
INSHORE: Really about the same as last week, lots of
Roosters up and arounf the Old Light House. Roosters are still the story if the
week if you are inshore fishing. The Old Light House seems to be where the
inshore action is happening. So jump into a Panga and head up there you might
get in on some smaller game action.
