WEATHER:
Hows the weather? Well its great as ever and it even seems it is warmer than
past years. A couple overcast days with the sun breaking through this past
week, but other than that it has been really nice and pretty warm. It has never
really got that cool this year, even in January and February it was above
average as far as temperatures go. I am expecting a very hot summer this 2016
and we are hoping we don’t have anything like Hurricane Odile to deal with this
season. I think that storm was a once in 75 to 100 year storm.
WATER: The
Sea water around the Cabo area seems to be staying warm if you go out of Cabo
harbor and head southeast towards San Jose and Los Frailes. Temperatures are
still 67 to 72 degrees, which is pretty unusual this time of year. If you head
out of the harbor and go north towards the Pacific side you will hit some
cooler water, but unusually warm for this time of year. It looks as if there
are pockets of 69 to 71 degree water out past and north east of the Finger
Bank. Anyway, it has been strange this year as far as temps go and it has
affected the fishing and the species of fish that we should be seeing right now
in our area. This link
which will show you water temperatures for the southern half of Baja.
BILLFISH: On
Wednesday the 8th of February my guys on the Bob Marlin left the dock at 6.00
am, basically the same as everyday. The guys ran out 22 miles looking for Tuna
because the Striped Marlin has been very slow. So, after 6 hours fishing in the
Porpoise and not 1 Tuna, we decided to head in and troll on the way in with
some marlin lures. Well, wouldn’t you know it 578lb Blue Marlin struck our lure
short lure not 10ft form the transom of the boat. To everyones surprise we were
off and running and 2 hours later we landed the Blue Marlin. That just goes to
show you, it only happens in Cabo. The Striped
Marlin has been way down this past week and basically this season, so far. Pretty slow
as far as Marlin fishing goes for Cabo, it was a tough week for anglers with
not to many reports of Billfish. Most of the Marlin was landed like a mile off
shore from the Light House all the way up to Ranch Migrino and were using live
bait on most occasions to land the Marlin.
DORADO: A
few Dorade were landed up inside the Golden Gates area, but really a slow week
in general for Dorado and fishing in general.
WAHOO:
Havent heard of any this past week.
TUNA: The
Tuna are really hanging in there and really that has been some of the best
action we have seen all week. Our boats the Bob Marlin and the Bite Me have
both done really good with the Tuna over the past week. We have been running
out to find the small schools of Tuna and have had some good luck. Looking for
the Porpoise and running along side of the Porpoise has helped us land some
nice Tuna. Most are in the 20lb range but it makes for lots of fun and good
eating. One day the Bob Marlin landed 17 Tuna all in the 20lb range and the
same day out own Bite Me landed 21 Tuna. So all in all its been pretty decent.
INSHORE:
Sierras is the story of the week with all you want on Pacific side. The inshore
fishing is better than last week with more Sierra being caught on hootchies and
striped bait from the Solmar to the Pump House. The Amber Jack action was
decent inshore and we were using rapalas and jigging iron to entice them, and
it worked. Even the Red Snapper and Grouper fishing was pretty good this past week
as we did well up and around Margarita Rocks on the Pacific side.
