WEATHER: We really cant ask for any better weather than we had for the last couple weeks. The sun just continues to shine about every day. We have had a couple overcast days but nothing major. Highs around the mid to ladder 80,s and lows in the mid to lower 60,s. Everyone knows why so many people do come to Cabo and it’s the near perfect weather year round. We do get some hotter months in July, August and September but during those months, all the fishing and water sports here, are really good.
WATER: Well, quite the contrast of water temperatures from the Pacific side to up inside the Sea of Cortez. I was looking at the Temp Break map and it shows lots of really cool water on Pacific, from entrance at Cabo harbor, south east towards Gordo Banks, its all really warm water. From 69 in some areas on Pacific to 79 on the other side of Gordo Banks. I think we know where e will be finding the fish over the next week.
BILLFISH: Striped Marlin fishing has been pretty good this week from the 95 spot up to the San Jamie Banks and most fish being landed on ballyhoo along with pitching live bait, with a few on lures. My friend had a 400lbs Blue Marlin hooked up for 4 hours on Wednsday aboard a Panga and he ended up losing the fish in the battle. It is really early for any Blues to be showing right now, but the water in some areas is really warm and this is drawing them in early this year. Striped Marlin has been good all week on the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez side both.
DORADO: A few Dorado still being taken in the same areas as the marlin. With all that warm water on the Sea of Cortez side, we are going to be seeing a lot of Dorado being caught over this next week as it seems to be in the cards.
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: Good number s of Sierra being landed just about every day this past week. From the Pump House to Ranch Migrino it is pretty much wide open if your using hootchies and striped bait. Quite a few Skip Jacks close to shore also being caught. There has been some Dorado also reported caught in the warmer water close to shore around San Jose and the new marina area.
