WEATHER:Flat seas and nice weather and it kind of reminds me of lake fishing its been that nice. It has been looking pretty good most of the week, but we did have some cloudy days at the first part of the week and by mid week it had got mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid 80,s and lows dropping down to lower 60,s. No rain this week, but we did get some last week. Still very mild temperatures for this time of year in Cabo.
WATER: Pretty much throughout our fishing grounds, we are having water temperatures between 71 and 74 degrees and even up in the Sea of Cortez its actually cooler than around Cabo. Weird year this year as far as the water goes, it should be cooler by now and warmer up inside Sea of Cortez but it is reverse. Check out the link below and look over conditions for yourself.

BILLFISH: The fishing sure is unpredictable, we have had people fishing all week and it was super good at times. Marlin fishing has been pretty slow but we are catching a few and there was even a couple Blue Marlin caught this week. Most of the Marlin has been caught up and around the Light House to Margarita using lures. A few striped Marlin around, but not in huge numbers, mostly a hit and miss scenario. Wish I could report more of a productive week for Marlin in general, but its that time of year.
DORADO: Good, Good and super Good is how I am describing Dorado fishing this week. We fished at first light one day at the Light House and hit 3 Dorado on lures and one was around 45lbs and then we ran up the beach about 14 miles to Margarita and found a school of Dorado and started pitching live bait along with ballyhoo. We knocked them dead that day and they were all super nice sized fish. It doesn’t end there, we then proceeded up to Ranch Migrion and 50 yards off the beach put on hootchies and got 26 Sierra.What a fun day and some great smoked fish.
WAHOO: A real good week for Wahoo fishing and we are catching them on rapalas, ballyhoo and by slow trolling live bait. Some decent size fish being landed from 20lb to 40lbs and around 150ft to 350ft in depth is where they are in Margarita area.
TUNA: I haven’t heard of a lot of of Tuna being landed this past week. If you do run into them, I think you will have to run offshore about 10 to 25 miles to maybe run into them if you can find a school of Porpoise.
INSHORE: Good inshore fishing, producing good numbers of Sierras, Red Snapper and Dorado from Solmar to the Pump House. Well its about time we are seeing Sierra in good number, but the Yellowtail haven’t showed up much yet as we expect them to get here I hope. The inshore fishing has been really good with al kinds of species being caught not far from shore and even on shore fishing is good.
