San Jose del Cabo
April 28, 2013
Anglers –
Ideal weather conditions are attracting tourists to Los Cabos, while parts of the
United States are still experiencing winter like storms, crazy patterns for sure,
makes this a great time to head south for a vacation in paradise, with warm
sunshine. Winds have been light and anglers enjoyed great offshore conditions, ocean
water temperatures are back on a warming trend in the direction of San Jose del Cabo
and towards Vinorama, now up to 75 degrees, while off of Cabo San Lucas and around
the corner on the Pacific temperatures are in the 60s. For this reason the majority
of sportfishing fleets are fishing in the direction of Gordo Banks and to the north.
Bait sources have consisted of caballito, jurelito, moonfish, chihuil, skipjack and
bolito, no sardinas, as these baitfish are not within range at this time. Chihuil
has been the most productive offshore bait, they have been found schooling on the
Inner Gordo Bank and are being jigging up on sabiki rigs at first light, for sale by
the commercial fleet on a limited basis.
Striped marlin action had been spread out more, no concentrations, though in recent
days the Desteladera Bank has come alive and charters were accounting for multiple
billfish days, two, three or more fish per boat, as the marlin were schooling up in
this area where baitfish have been abundant, reports of the billfish feeding on
squid. The fish were striking lures, as well as dropped back or cast bait, average
size striper was in the 90 to 130 lb. range. Dorado were less numerous, but we have
seen more of them showing up in the warmer waters, particularly closer to shore
where they could be seen chasing schools of ballyhoo, for the few that were caught,
most were in the 10 to 15 pounds class. Only a few wahoo reports heard, we do expect
these elusive fish to become more active now that the water is reaching closer to
their preferred zone and there is also plenty of food sources to help lure them in.
We are now on the full moon phase, things can be more
unpredictable, anything could happen from day to day, the way conditions are really
shaping up. No yellowfin tuna action being reported locally, you would expect that
we should start to see some more reports of migrating porpoise holding tuna schools
traveling offshore, perhaps the next couple of weeks this will develop.
Yellowtail action tapered off compared to how red hot it had been last week, these
jacks were found close to shore, mixed in where roosterfish up to 30 lb. were also
encountered, but larger schools of yellowtail in the 25 to 35.lb. range were being
hooked into off of the Gordo Banks, live chihuil for bait was the most productive,
the yellows did not want to strike the yo-yo jigs, preferring the deep drifted
baitfish. Sea lions have been a factor on the banks, spooking both the baitfish and
the yellowtail. The warmer water can cause lock jaw on these fish as well, which do
prefer cooler currents.
A mix of bonito, amberjack, huachinango (red snapper) and leopard grouper (cabrilla)
have rounded out the structure action and inshore there were sierra, jack crevalle
and roosterfish. So all around the options have been producing a mixed bag of
species and this should be the same deal in the coming weeks. Anything can happen
from day to day, conditions are now very favorable.
Surprisingly there were still quite a few numbers of whales in the area, mostly
humpbacks, surely they will be migrating north soon.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 70 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of:
28 striped marlin, 2 wahoo, 90 yellowtail, 10 amberjack, 76 dorado,13 sierra, 24
huachinago, 44 bonito, 22 cabrilla, 32 roosterfish, 28 jack crevalle and 7 mako
shark.
Good Fishing, Eric
