WEATHER: Let it rain!! Let it rain!!Let it rain!! We have been getting some pretty good down pours and as I am writing this report this Sunday morning we are getting a good cloud burst right now. Firt part of the week also we had some good rains and then Linda passed by and gave us more rain so really we have only about 2 days of sunny weather this week. Today is clody and overcast but really that’s what comes when your in Cabo in September.
WATER: Well the water has been a big washing machine over the past week with Hurricane Linda passing by, and creating a few days of pretty brown and green water, but it is getting back to normal now, and were hoping that we don’t get anymore storms passing by, or hitting us for that matter.
BILLFISH: All Billfishing is really strong over the past week, even know we did have a storm pass by us, it seems to have not effected things to bad. Most f the action is on the Pacific side up and around the Margarita area 3 miles offshore, using lures and live bait. Strong Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin and Sailfish fishing all week. JC says, “we have been having very good Billfish fishing for like 3 weeks now” it has been a great year for Blue Marlin and we expect it to keep being good through out October and tournament season. Sailfish have just been off the hook which is normal to Puerta Vallarta but not Cabo, so we aren’t complaining as it is all good action if we Catch and Release any Billfish catches.
DORADO: Much better than it has been over the last month with some pretty good action pretty much all over the place but really good tight to the beach. Most of them have been smaller, ranging from 6lb to 15lbs, but we have had some up to 30lb to 40lbs.
SWORDFISH: Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: Purple and Black Jet Heads are working really good this week for Wahoo. Lots of good action at Grey Rock and in front of the Pedregal Rocks. If you troll really fast inshore we are sure you will see some action.. They are hitting rapalas deep divers and or downrigging rapalas. Some have been taking on live bait and some reaching 35lbs to 50lbs.
TUNA: Tuna fishing has been very good this past week. Grey Rock all the way up to the Old Light House has been producing mostly football size Tuna. At leaset we are seeing some Tuna action and the smaller ones are really good to eat and I have added some good Skip Jack recipes to this report and basically you can use the same recipe for the football size Tunas being caught.
INSHORE: Tuna, Wahoo and Dorado action have propelled the inshore action this past week. It has been pretty hot on all species inshore. You will likely catch Wahoo on Jet Heads and black and purple Rapalas. Dorado inshore you will catch with live bait and trolling lures. Rooster are of course making things happen close to shore also, so it is pretty wide open right now inshore. Some Skip Jacks are hitting also with some good numbers being reported. There has been Sailfish reported caught inshore also on Pangas so it mite be worth grabbing a Panga and going out for a 5 hour excursion to see what happens inshore.
