WEATHER: It has been pretty darn good over the last week with most days in the mid to ladder 80,s and lows in the 60,s at night. We can’t get much better than that really. Not a lot of wind just a little breeze in the afternoons, but as far as fishing goes, it has been some pretty smooth seas making it a nice ride when out sport fishing.
WATER: On average the temperatures have been in the mid to low 70,s a little above average than normal. It should be cooler right now, but this year has been weird all year. Of course up inside of the Sea of Cortez is always much warmer than we have in Caba as sometimes it’s a whole different ball game down there as far as species being caught. The clash of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez here in Cabo makes for a much different chain of events as far a fishing goes.
BILLFISH: Marlin fishing has been pretty good this past week around the 95 spot and now the fish are moving back up to the pacific side to the San Jamie Banks area. Most fish being caught have been taken on live bait and lures. I know some of the other fleets have caught fish in this area also from their reports.
Cabo has more Striped Marlin caught than anywhere on earth and here is a little info. About them The striped marlin is a species of marlin found in tropical to temperate Indo-Pacific oceans not far from the surface. It is a desirable commercial and game fish with a record weight (in 1982) of 190 kg (420 lb) and a maximum length of 4.2 m (13.8 ft). The striped marlin is a predator that hunts during the day in the top 100 meters or so of the water column, often near the surface. One of their chief prey is sardines.
DORADO: The Dorado fishing has been just ok as of now. We had thought they were long gone, but there is still some around to our surprise. It seems with the water warmer, it has kept them in the area somewhat so it’s all good as far as we are concerned. They are hitting lures and live bait.
WAHOO: I did hear of a an 80lb pounder being caught this past week, but that’s about it.
TUNA: I haven’t heard of anything as far as Tuna goes as they seem to be long gone right now but they will show up sooner or later.
INSHORE: The inshore action has been pretty darn good. Sierra action has been consistent from Solmar to the Pump House on hootchies and striped bait also a few Amber Jacks being landed. The Jack Crevalle have been around with some being caught on the pacific side.
