Cabo Fishing Report 02 July
The East
Cape is heating up. Our humidity is
starting to rise and now daytime temperatures are starting to tip 90 degrees. Evenings are still cooling a bit and very
pleasant.
Blue marlin starting to make a good showing
Game fish
have been fickle and hard to figure out.
Smaller yellowfin tuna have been consistent south of Frailes trolling
hoochies, Yozuri's and cedar plugs. The
larger model yellowfin have been with porpoise schools offshore but it has been
hard to get them to go. It has been a
risk versus reward thing. The risk is
getting skunked but the reward is the potential of catching a cow or even a
super cow.
Striped
marlin have been consistent and the best bet for sure action. We released our first blue marlin a couple
days ago and have had several short biters.
The aggressiveness and speed of a blue marlin always amazes me.
The great
wahoo bite we have enjoyed for months has tapered off and roosterfish have not
been much in the mood. We have been
sighting schools of trophy size roosters in the shallows but they are spawning
now and not showing interest in our baits.
We have also
had an unprecedented showing of broadbill swordfish. Everyday on the VHF there are reports from fleet boats that have
spotted one. It is hard to get them to
bite but some anglers have been lucky.
"Rude Girl" boated two fish in one day a couple weeks ago and
Monday they hooked another. We were just
a few hundred yards from them when this last event happened and they called us
to borrow a gaff. There is just no justice!
