Jen Wren Cabo Fishing Report 09 July 2017

Over the last couple of weeks the Sea of Cortez has been very moody. 

We have had several calm days and gamefish cooperated.

There have been a few windy days and fish still bit, an upwelling of cold green ugly water and the fish still bit.  Water surface temperatures have been up to 85 degrees, down to 70 degrees and back up to 80 degrees in the last ten days.  Through it all the gamefish continued to bite.  Some days the yellowfin were five miles offshore, other days we had to run forty miles.  On every occasion when we found 'em they bit.

Yesterday every angler on all three of our boats came back with a limit of yellowfin tuna.  It is not very often I can say that.   I'm on the beach today but could hear skippers chattering on the VHF, many had limits at 9:30 this morning.  Not very often anybody can say that.

Ugly green water didn't bother the roosterfish.  There were days I wondered how they could find our bait.  When seas were rough they saved our bacon and made our day.

Striped marlin have become aggressive.  Blues are also starting to show.  All the football tuna are certainly blue marlin chow.
