WEATHER: Well, right now the weather is pretty good with sunny days and breezy evenings. We do have a storm way south of us that we might get some rain from in a few days. It is tropical storm Carlos lingering off the coast of the mainland of near Acapulco and we may get some effects from it next week about mid week. Right now the weather is great, but with some afternoon winds on the pacific side..
WATER: Pretty much the same as last week as far as the water temps go.The water right outside Cabo Harbor is right around 72 to 74 degrees and actually pretty nice. Pacific side up and around the Finger Baja where it was dipping down to 69 degrees is still cold up there and it is like night and day compared to the Pacific side and the Cortez side.
BILLFISH: The Marlin fishing is hot and you will no doubt hook into one if you are here or coming down this coming week. We have had great luck all week with Striped Marlin and the guys have been landing them from Grey Rock all the way out to the 1150. We did still have a Blue Marlin in the area also with 2 large fish being landed last week at 250lbs and 300lbs and adding to this we even have Swordfish in the area which isn’t that common but we will take them. One swordfish caught was 300lbs and the other was 150lbs, so for any kind of billfishing this past week it has been great and I am thinking this coming week will remain the same.
DORADO: Well the Dorado is starting to show up in the area and we should start seeing large numbers of them soon. It hasn’t quite kicked in but it is getting better and you can tell with a little more time it is going to get red hot!! There are a few being caught, but it isn’t like it’s off the hook, but we are optimistic over this next week for things to pick up.
SWORDFISH: A 150LB Swordfish caught this past week and a 300 pounder also. Swordfish is not that common to our waters, but sometimes we do land some here in Los Cabos. They are great to eat and I will have some cool recipes for you.
WAHOO: Very few this week caught.
TUNA: A school of Tuna is like 69 miles east of Cabo and a couple of the big yachts went out there and found them and had a great day. The Tuna was running with the Porpoise so once the guys found the Porpoise it was game on for the Tuna . So we know they’re not far and they should be moving closer to shore as the summer kicks in and we expect some good Tuna action soon.
INSHORE: The inshore fishing has been hit and mis with a few Roosters and some small Dorado. There was a report of an 80lb Rooster being caught in the surf at El Tule, so that was a nice score for those guys. We like to hear those types of stories. Also some guys have been catching Skip Jack and Jack Crevail close to shore.
