WEATHER: Really good weather over the last week with many
hot and sunny days. It seems also we have been spared some storms so far this
year and we hope we can get through August and September. Highs have been in
the ladder 90,s with lows in the low 70,s range. I have been monitoring the
weather channels for storms in the eastern pacific and it has been pretty slow
as of lately.
WATER: It seems to be changing and cooling down on the
Pacific side according to the Tempbreak map. Some areas it is down to 79
degrees and should be cooling off some over the next month. East Cape area
still with very warm water up to 88 degrees. Much calmer seas as of the last
week with no storms so that was a good news for anglers going out on the local
sport fishers. Please check out Tempbreak map to get a good idea on water
temperatures.
BILLFISH: Very good Bill fishing for the past month and a
half really, lots of Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin but the Sailfish has slowed
big time over this time last year when it was all Sailfish. Now the Blue Marlin
have unleashed giving us lots of great sportfishing action. We have been
hooking record amounts of fish and losing a lot also. Lots of fish up and around
Ranch Migrino to San Jamie Banks and there hitting ballyhoo, live bait and
lures, but mostly ballyhoo is what is landing them. Everything is strong so you
really don’t know what your going to land, as it could be a big Blue Marlin, or
even a Black Marlin as it is that time of year for them, and who knows.
DORADO: Were not catching to many Dorado here in Cabo now
but up north in Mag Bay it is wide open there. Some reports indicate some
really big Bull Dorados being taken. The water up there is really much cooler
than what we have been experiencing here in Cabo so we are expecting that when
some of that cooler water rolls into our area we will see some good Dorado
action also. It has been a really weird year for Dorado as there hasn’t been to
many around and it is very similar to last year even when it was hit or miss.
SWORDFISH: Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: It really slowed on the WAHOO this past week we were
really going like gangbusters for like 2 weeks, and now it is normal, meaning
when we get a Wahoo we fell pretty lucky that we will be having a great dinner
of grilled Wahoo.
TUNA: Our own Bob Malin sportfisher did land a 138lbs Tuna
this past week. We aren’t catching a lot but when we do run into a school they
are normally nice sized fish. A lot of Tuna action were seeing was mostly
football size Tuna being caught tight to the beach using Cedar Plugs and King
Busters. The bigger Tuna have moved up and around Jamie Banks. It was good Tuna
action at the start of the week but they have moved on since then.
INSHORE: Rooster fish is the main story inshore, along with
some Skip Jack. The water has been a little murky, and churned up over the last
2 weeks with all the rain we have had. Small Tuna on sardines has been good
inshore if you can find the sardines. From Grey Rock to the Pump House has been
the area for decent Tuna and even Sailfish action using ballyhoo. Some small
Dorado every once in a while have been landed.
It might be worth grabbing a Panga and going out for a 5
hour excursion to see what happens inshore.
