GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
March 9, 2014
Anglers -
As the first wave of spring break travelers continue to arrive in Los
Cabos, they are being greeted with absolutely beautiful pristine
weather conditions, with high temperatures hovering near the 80 degree
mark, clear skies and plenty of warm sunshine. Winds have been light
and anglers enjoyed very pleasant days on the ocean. Swells were
slight and we have seen warmer currents sweeping in, with water
temperature now averaging 72 degrees on the Pacific side of Cabo San
Lucas and increasing to 74/78 degree in the direction of the Sea of
Cortez and the Gordo Banks, just outside of these grounds is where the
warmest water is now located.
The Golden Gate Banks has continued to be the hot spot for finding
striped marlin, also fair numbers of dorado reported from the Pacific
grounds. While the billfish action in the direction of San Jose del
Cabo was very spotty, with the lack of offshore baitfish
concentrations, the stripers are scattered. More numbers of dorado
were encountered close to shore, at times actually seen chasing half
beaks (ballyhoo) directly on to the sandy beaches, at least one dorado
was hooked and landed inside of the Puerto Los Cabos Marina Channel.
Most of the dorado now seen have been in the 5 to 15 lb. class, with a
few exceptions of larger specimens up to 25 pounds accounted for.
Despite the warmer water temperatures we have seen fewer dorado this
past week, as well as only a few wahoo, though we have heard of big
wahoo bite now going on off of Cerralvo Island, which is out of our
local charter range.
Inshore action was now producing many roosterfish in the 5 to 15 lb.
range, trolling with live caballito was the best bet for this,
remember these are rapidly growing gamefish, not known for good table
fare and should be released with care, in order to mature and enhance
the future fishery. Sierra numbers were down, warmer waters and lack
of sardinas contributing to this situation.
The most exciting event this past week has been the season's first
massive run of pelagic red crabs, particularly on the high spots north
of the Gordo Banks. Masses of these small crabs drifted to the
surface, turned the sea a reddish color and this in turn was
attracting the humpback whales, whale sharks and of course the Pacific
red snapper (huachinango. This occurrence is always unpredictable,
when conditions are just right these pelagic crustaceans swarm,
normally happening sometime during the March to May time frame, though
in local waters we have not seen such a run for several years. These
red crabs are a favorite food source for many species, especially so
for the red snapper, also one of the most popular and valuable
commercial catches. All of the local commercial pangeros are now
working overtime to catch as many kilos of these prized snapper as
they are capable of while this bite lasts. These are the true Pacific
snapper and average from 4 to 12 pounds in weight, scrappy fighters on
light tackle and at times they are found schooling near the surface.
Other action included lots of Eastern Pacific Bonito and some early
season amberjack, the bonito (3 to 10 lb.) were striking yo-yo jigs or
trolled Rapalas over the high spots and the ambers, which ranged to
over 30 lb., were hitting best on the yo-yo style jigs or by drifting
live caballito off of the structure. There were lots of yellowfin tuna
in the 20/25 lb. class seen breezing on the grounds north of Punta
Gorda, but only a handful of these tuna were hooked into, very
finicky, as they normally do become when they acquire a taste for
these same red crabs.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 77 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
1 striped marlin, 3 wahoo, 8 yellowfin tuna, 2 yellowtail, 19
amberjack, 355 bonito, 18 jack crevalle, 18 sierra, 55 dorado, 135
roosterfish, 6 pompano, 28 yellow tail snapper, 14 cabrilla.and 640
red snapper (huachinango).
Good fishing, Eric

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
March 2, 2014
Anglers -
Spring break seems to have started early this year, as increasing
crowds of tourists were arriving to take advantage of the ideal
weather conditions and the many outdoor activities available. With the
month of February now over, we can say that it has lived up to its
reputation, being a bit crazy and unpredictable. We witnessed some
chilly mornings, with windy days and then just like that there were
very pleasant calm and almost summerlike conditions. Still many whales
in the area, but with warming days, we will see these mammals heading
back towards their northern feeding grounds soon.
On the Pacific side, the Golden Gate Bank has been the hot spot to
find wide open action for striped marlin, with marlin also being found
in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, but more spread out, as there
have not been the same concentrations of baitfish to find the billfish
schooling up, as on the Pacific. Even a few sailfish were found in the
mix this past week, a bit strange for this time of year. Ocean water
temperatures ranged from 70 degrees on the Pacific, to an average of
74 degrees off of San Jose del Cabo and north to Los Frailes. The more
consistent all around fishing action is being found in the direction
of the warmer waters.
Dorado never left local waters this winter and they normally do, these
fish are still being caught daily, from inshore to offshore, fish were
striking lures and various baits, rigged ballyhoo and live caballito.
Sizes were ranging from 5 to 25 lb. Still no sardinas being found in
local water, basically all season we have not seen these smaller
baitfish, larger baits and using lures has been the main deal. Number
of dorado were not huge, though some charters were catching up to five
or six. Surprisingly there were also wahoo hanging around in certain
areas as well, most of these fish were found from Punta Gorda to La
Fortuna, and within a mile of shore, again no big numbers, one or two,
here or there, sizes in the 15 to 25 lb. Class. The wahoo were
striking on trolled baits, rapalas and yo-yo jigs.
Other action now included the Eastern Pacific Bonito, spread
throughout the zone, striking on rapalas and jigs, sizes 2 to 10
pounds, fun action on light tackle, also a good eating species. This
past week we saw more numbers amberjack being accounted for, hitting
off the bottom structure, on yo-yo jigs and caballito. Sizes ranged up
to 40 pounds, with some charters catching three or four of these
powerful fighting jacks. An occasional cabrilla to 25 pounds was found
off the same rock piles. Only a handful of yellowtail so far this
season, though these were nicer sized 20 to 30 pound fish, in recent
days several big yellowtail were hooked into while trolling very close
to shore, where juvenile sized roosterfish and sierra wee being
targeted. We must also mention the presence of some hog sized jack
crevalle that will test inshore angler's endurance.
Only a handful of yellowfin tuna were found, most from the La Fortuna
to San Luis Banks, drift fishing with fresh dead sardinas is what
enticed this action, though with the lack of this bait source and the
combination of swift currents, this was a very hit or miss option.
When the tuna did come up to the chummed bait, a few tuna in the 20
pound class were accounted for.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 102 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
3 sailfish, 5 striped marlin, 13 wahoo, 14 yellowfin tuna, 5
yellowtail, 27 amberjack, 242 bonito, 13 jack crevalle, 34 sierra, 146
dorado, 48 roosterfish, 10 pompano, 18 yellow tail snapper and 9
cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
February 23, 2014
Anglers -
The month of February is known for crazy unpredictable weather
patterns, this week we witnessed some cooler morning conditions and
high temperatures up to 85 degrees, feeling more like late spring
instead of winter time. We also felt more wind, predominately from the
north, but then swirling from out of the east and south as well, but
overall the climate was ideal and anglers found comfortable ocean
conditions and great all around action
With the warmer ocean temperatures of up to 75 degrees now pushing in
the direction of San Jose del Cabo and towards the La Fortuna and San
Luis Banks, this is where the sportfishing fleets are concentrating,
even boats from Cabo San Lucas are making the long runs north to get
into this more consistent fishing action. Pacific side water
temperatures have dropped into the upper 60's. Mackerel schools
continued to be scarce, ballyhoo supplies were plentiful and there
have been options for a variety of gamefish, caballito baitfish have
been obtainable most mornings as well, fresh bags of brined sardinas
are being sold at the panga dock area on a limited first come, first
serve basis.
Considering the time of year, anglers have been enjoying quality
action for dorado, some wahoo and even yellowfin tuna showing in the
fish counts. Billfish have been more scattered since the recent full
moon, no concentrations of baitfish offshore, beside schooling
skipjack. Though in recent days we have seen more striped marlin
appearing again, anywhere from one or two miles from shore and on out
to 20 miles. Even a couple of sailfish were reportedly hooked into,
crazy times in February.
Yellowfin tuna are holding over the structure from La Fortuna, Iman
and to San Luis Bank, the key factor was obtaining a supply of
sardinas, which have been scarce all year, fresh dead sardinas were
now available early morning at the panga dock area, though in limited
supply and a few charters were more fortunate when they were able to
purchase live sardinas from commercial pangeros from northern camps. A
handful of mostly panga charters got into this yellowfin tuna action
while drift fishing with sardinas and using light leaders, landing up
to five, six, seven or eight fish, ranging in weights of 10 to 20 lb.
Dorado were being found in smaller sized groups spread throughout the
inshore and offshore grounds, sizes averaged 5 to 15 lb., a few
fishing pushing the 20 to 25 lb. mark, still impressive for mid winter
season. Wahoo action continues to be an added bonus, normally not a
common catch during this month, though the bite did taper off compared
to how it had broke wide open late last week. In recent days a handful
of charters did land up to three or four wahoo in their combined daily
catch. These fish hit on trolled lures, various baits and on yo-yo
style casting jigs. Best areas were close to shore off of Punta Gorda
to La Fortuna. Sizes on the wahoo averaged 15 to 20 pounds, though
there were some quality sized fish up to 40 pounds also accounted for.
Bottom action has never really started this season, with warmer ocean
temperatures, winds and currents all contributing to no consistent
structure action. At least not yet, we are still not into March or
spring time. This is always the time of year when we start to see the
arrival of yellowtail in local waters, so far only a scattering of
these powerful jacks have been found. Though just in recent days there
have been more encounters with these popular gamefish. Anglers who
were jigging for what was great action on hog sized skipjack and
Eastern Pacific Bonito also hooked into a few yellowtail, fish to 25
lb. were landed, others lost to cut lines, encouraging signs of a
developing bite. We did hear of at least one nice yellowtail being
caught by a beach fishing angler on a splashier hoochie combination.
Sierras are patrolling the shorelines, a few nicer sized fish to 8
pounds were seen, a mix of jack crevalle and juvenile sized
roosterfish in the same stretches, these fish were hitting on trolled
baits, hoochies or rapalas. Whales were still being seen spouting in
all directions, these mammals have not headed north yet, next month is
normally when they will start the northern migration.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 76 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
6 striped marlin, 21 wahoo, 49 yellowfin tuna, 6 yellowtail, 145
bonito, 4 amberjack,11 jack crevalle, 78 sierra, 234 dorado, 14
roosterfish, 14 yellow tail snapper, 15 misc. shark and 12 cabrilla.

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
February 16, 2014
Anglers -
With freezing conditions persisting throughout much of the United
States we have seen more crowds of tourists arriving in Los Cabos.
Travelers have been greeted with pristine winter time weather
conditions, sunny days, with high temperatures close to 80 degrees.
Winds continued to be a bit unpredictable, at times from the north,
switching out of the south, though they were moderate and anglers
found great ocean conditions most days.
Ocean temperatures ranged from 70 to 76 degrees, higher than normal
for this month, clarity was clean, even very close to shore. Baitfish
have been scattered, no live sardinas, few mackerel or caballito, with
ballyhoo proving to be one of the better trolling baits and as another
option there were also a mix of jacks and moonfish being used.
Depending on what fishing grounds anglers targeted, there was a
variety of species being found. Striped marlin were now shifting in
the direction of the San Jose del Cabo grounds, from the 1150 spot, to
off of the hotel zone and towards Punta Gorda, some success was found
trolling lures, casting baits to tailing fish and soaking baits down
deep, the striped marlin especially were attracted to moonfish this
past week, it was more productive early in the week, later in the week
the full moon seemed to affect the bite, fish were more finicky..
For the local panga fleet, the most productive action was found within
a couple of miles of shore, from right off Punta Gorda, to Cardon and
La Fortuna. Dorado and wahoo were the main species striking, ballyhoo,
moonfish, jacks, rapalas and even casting jigs. This seemed more like
fall action, crazy to see this type of action in mid February, it
doesn't happen every year, with water temperatures holding higher than
normal and the clarity of the water, these fish have decided to hang
around and not migrate to southern waters, at least for the time
being. There were more numbers of dorado caught than wahoo, though on
Thursday and Friday many boats did have multiple wahoo days, one
charter had eight wahoo on Friday. Sizes ranged up to 40 pounds. Hard
to say how long this action will last, would be something if this
lasted throughout the month and into March.
Not much action off the bottom, strong currents and warmer water
temperatures have been more suited for surface action. A few
yellowtail were reported, no pargo bite at this time. Sierra have
dominated inshore action, though dorado are being found very close to
shore as well, there were large concentrations of half beaks
(ballyhoo) moving along the beaches areas, this can bring gamefish
very close in. A few jack crevalle and smaller sized roosterfish in
the mix.
Still peak season for whale activity, though with waters warming,
these mammals will most likely start migrating north soon.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 90 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
18 striped marlin, 37 wahoo, 8 yellowfin tuna, 3 yellowtail, 48
bonito, 18 jack crevalle, 68 sierra, 265 dorado,18 roosterfish and 12
cabrilla.

Anglers -
The month of February can be quite unpredictable, locals have a
saying, Febreo loco y Marzo otro poco, conditions can feel like spring
time one day, but then cooler weather fronts can swept back through,
feeling more wintry. Last week we had temperatures reach the mid 80s,
though this week it felt more like winter, with cooler mornings, down
to 55 degrees and on a couple of days the high temperatures only
reached in the low 70s. Despite this trend, there were mostly clear
sunny skies and it felt like paradise compared to the freezing cold
temperatures that has swept once again across the United States. Ocean
water temperatures actually warmed up some, now ranging from 70
degrees on the Pacific to 75/76 offshore of San Jose del Cabo. More
north winds this past week and this contributed to stirring up the
clarity, anglers reported finding mixed up conditions, swift currents
pushed in greenish water, but in other areas the water remained clear
and blue, seemed to vary each day.
Baitfish remained scattered, as were most of the gamefish, though in
recent days baitfish schools have begun to congregate on the
traditional grounds off of the San Jose del Cabo's Hotel Zone, two or
three miles offshore, mainly sardinetas now, with a few mackerel mixed
in. This a favorable sign, hopefully this will continue to develop,
should start seeing more striped marlin on these same grounds. Anglers
found porpoise activity offshore, hit or miss for smaller sized
yellowfin tuna, most of these fish were found 20 plus miles outside of
Cabo San Lucas, at other times jack crevalle and hog sized black
skipjack dominated the offshore bite.
Dorado action has been good this winter season, though this past week
the bite dropped off, some charters had trouble finding even one
dorado, while others were more fortunate and accounted for up to a
half of dozen, these fish are scattered from inshore to offshore and
running in small schools, most of the fish were in the 5 to 15 pound
class. Striking on trolled lures and rigged ballyhoo baits. Earlier in
the week a few wahoo were found, though this is not the normal season
where you would expect to catch these elusive gamefish, there is still
a chance at hooking into one of these prized eating fish. A handful of
football sized yellowfin tuna were landed while drift fishing on the
Iman Bank, fresh dead sardinas was to key to this action, these baits
were sold in limited quantities at the dock area, then you had to try
to stay away from the skipjack, bonito and pesky sea lions, another
factor were the gusting northern winds, making it almost impossible on
certain days.
Sierra continued to dominate the inshore action, striking on various
whole and cut baits, as well as hoochies and small rapalas, which all
worked for these fish, average sizes ranged 2 to 4 pounds. Some jack
crevalle and juvenile sized roosterfish were also encountered. Surf
fishermen reported catching a few much larger sierra taken at first
light, this is always the time when these members of the mackerel
family are more aggressive.
Bottom action produced mainly Eastern Pacific Bonito, a handful of
pargo, cabrilla and triggerfish rounding out this action. Should be
the time when we start to see some yellowtail showing up in the fish
counts. There were a couple of nice grouper landed off of the Palmilla
Point area, this is the time frame when these rock piles start to hold
more of the structure species.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 68 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
6 striped marlin, 4 wahoo, 21 yellowfin tuna, 135 bonito, 14 jack
crevalle, 115 sierra, 76 dorado,12 roosterfish,18 pargo, 28
triggerfish, 90 black skipjack, 2 grouper and 10 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
