San Jose del Cabo

Anglers

This
past week was super busy with all of the events going on during the annual
traditional carnival days of San Jose del Cabo. There was a noticeable increase
in numbers of tourists arriving in the area. Spring season is now officially
here and this is the time when we see more spring break vacationers incoming.
Just like clockwork the weather is quickly warming and we are seeing
temperatures ranging in the upper 80s. Actually the climate is perfect now,
great time to visit, before the heat of the summer arrives and when the
humidity seriously rises.
Overall
offshore conditions improved, as winds resided and warmer currents pushed into
the region. Then we saw south wind that brought back in some cooler Pacific
currents. So just like the conditions, the fishing action has varied from day
to day, but we did see much improvement for a variety of species, from close to
shore and on the offshore grounds. At this time local ocean temperatures are down
to 65 degrees near the 95 spot and outside of the Gordo Banks there are spots
up to 72 degrees.
Early
in the week fleets found great yellowfin tuna action outside of the El Cardon
area, about 10 to 14 miles offshore, schooling yellowfin in the 15 to 25 lb.
class traveling with rapidly moving porpoise. These fish were striking cedar
plugs, feathers and live sardinas. Later
in the week this action scattered, this is the pattern we should see for
yellowfin during the spring, scattered offshore, moving and feeding with
porpoise. There are still chances at hooking into a nicer grade of tuna, on
Sunday there was a 120 pound tuna landed off of the Gordo Banks, this fish was
landed by team “Reina de Wahoo” and proved to be the winner of a local
government sponsored tournament out of La Playita.
Dorado
were harder to find this week, just a scattering of these fish being
encountered, no particular place, inshore and offshore, weights up to 25 lb., a
percentage are striking on lures and others on bait. As the ocean currents warm
back up, there will be more of these gamefish moving in. Also this will be the
time we start to hear reports of some wahoo. A
few of these speedsters were encountered this past week, a couple them were
hooked in an area very close to shore near Cardon, same spot where the sierras
have continued to provide fun light tackle sport.
Yellowtail
action started off with a fury for anglers that were lucky to just happen to
get in on the action. Close by, off of the Estuary Hotel Zone, with a mile or two
of shore, in about 150 feet of water, anglers landed good numbers of yellowtail
in the 15 to 28 pound range. These fish were hitting best on larger baits, such
as caballito, sardinetas, moonfish, jacks, etc.. Also some hit on yo-yo’s.
Baitfish were not always easy to obtain, same with the smaller sardinas being
netted off the beaches north of La Fortuna, increased swells and lower tides
made it more challenging for the pangeros. This was the hot spot now, for close
by bottom action, not the normal local grounds where yellowtail are usually
found, so who knows where these migrating jacks will go next. We have perfect
conditions now for more schools of yellows to arrive, encouraging to finally
see these fish and of such nice quality.
Striped
Marlin action broke wide open again off of San Jose del Cabo, from 3 to 15
miles out. Good numbers of marlin were found, sometimes free jumping in all
directions, others seen feeding on the surface, as well as tailing on the
surface and coming up into to trolled lure spreads was a common scenario,
dropping back live baits resulted in solid hook ups. The striped marlin were
ranging in sizes up to 130 pounds, many charters accounted for two, three or
four fish per morning.
The
combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 96 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count
of: 1 wahoo, 42
striped marlin, 108 yellowfin tuna, 85 dorado, 330 sierra, 3 amberjack, 86
yellowtail, 32
various pargo,13 bonito, 3 mako shark and 30 triggerfish.
Good
