WEATHER: HOT, HOT and HOTTER that is just the way it is here
in Cabo now with about everyday pushing the 100 degree mark and lows in the mid
70,s. It seems the last 2 summers have been hotter than normal that I remember
and I have been here a long time. Some days have been a little cloudy that has
made for really humid weather with not a lot of storms down south. It seems we
have been pretty lucky so far.
WATER: Well some storms have come within about 300 miles off
our coast has churned up the water along with some swells coming in bringing in
lots of green, warm water close to shore with not much change in temperature.
The whole area is blanketed in a warm bathtub like water with fishing not being
to bad.
Please check out the Tempbreak map to get a good
idea on water temperatures.
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin action has been just ok with
some smaller strippers being caught this last week. We have had decent numbers
of Sailfish this past week and this continued now for the last 3 weeks, with
good Sailfish numbers being caught and released.
DORADO: We did land a 35lbs Dorado but in general fishing
for Dorado was not happening this past week with very few. It has been pretty
disappointing the last 2 years for Dorado action as it ha been pretty bad. We
think this might have something to do with El Nino this year but really not
sure what is going on. We do know we need to practice limits, laws and
conservation and keep any Japanese fisherman out of here with their nets.
SWORDFISH: Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: Yes a few landed over this past week at Gray Rock on
jet heads so if your into Wahoo try that area over the next few days.
TUNA: Most Tuna caught has been football size fish. Some
with the kite. The Kite fishing has been proving to be good for Tuna up and
around the San Jamie Banks. Most of the Tuna are scattered out so you normally
have to run aways to get to them but if you reach them you mite catch a
whopper.
INSHORE: Rooster Fish are what is happening inshore. There
is a bit of green water closer to shore so that hasn’t helped really, but all
in all it is mostly Rooster action from San Jose all the way to the Pacific
side around San Jamie Banks. Some Skip Jacks are hitting also with some good
numbers being reported. There has been Sailfish reported caught inshore also on
Pangas so it mite be worth grabbing a Panga and going out for a 5 hour
excursion to see what happens inshore.
