WEATHER: Still about the same as last week with nice days and some wind in the afternoons and evening. We have had some very nice weather over the past week. I was out last night and we had some pretty strong north winds that were pretty cool, looks as if they were coming off the Pacific. I think in the afternoons if your fishing on the pacific side expect some rough rides as it has been blowing pretty good in the afternoons. Really as far as temperatures its been really warm in the day time with mostly sunny days and cooler evenings.
WATER: Well, there is a huge difference in the water temperatures on the East Cape compared to closer to Cabo on the Pacific side where there is like a 10 degree difference in water. East Cape some areas are 84 degrees and here close to Cabo on the Pacific it is 74 degrees and colder in some spots, so quite the contrast and this will effect the fishing in both areas as we will be catching something completely different from them boys on the East Cape.
BILLFISH: The Marlin fishing has been super hot with lots of Striped Marlin being landed from Grey Rock to the 95 spot and most are being caught with live bait, lures and ballyhoo. The average size of marlin being caught is 90lb to 150lb which is basically the Striped Marlin average size. So no shortage of fishing action this past week with our boats doing very well on all species.
DORADO: They are starting to show up in better numbers but still nothing major yet. Really slowed down this week with some Dorado being caught inshore but they seem to be small ones. Some of the fish being caught have been 20lb to 30lb but mostly smaller ones inshore.
SWORDFISH: Havent heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: A few being landed down towards Gordo Banks.
TUNA: It has been pretty good with our own Bob Marlin catching a 195lb and a 150lb Tuna this past week. Lots of football size Tuna and some ranging in the 20lb to 30lb range. If you get past the football size fish and can drop some live bait below them you will find the big Tuna. The smaller Tuna is hitting cedar plugs and king busters.
INSHORE: The pangas have been doing well with Roosters with some nice ones being landed and ranging from 15lb to 40lbThe Rooster fishing has been going off up and around the Light Hose on the pacific.Pangas are having a pretty rough ride this week on the pacific side, but for the hardcore fisherman they love that stuff. So if your into getting wet and sloppy in a Panga head on out cause the action is good inshore. Also, some guys have been catching Skip Jack and Jack Crevail close to shore.
