Anglers –
As the summer climate has progressively heated up, so has the offshore
fishing action, as anglers are finding a mix of billfish, dorado, yellowfin
tuna and even a few wahoo. Weather patterns have settled down, there was a
tropical squall that moved in from the east last Sunday, bring some
scattered rain showers and some eye opening lightening. There has been very
little wind recently, some scattered clouds, very warm and humid. There are
a series of tropical storm system now tracking on distant westerly paths,
the coming weeks is when historically these storms can form in much closer
proximity and threaten land, so we will be monitoring forecasts carefully.
Bait supplies for caballito, mullet and moonfish remained sufficient,
though they are not as numerous as earlier in the summer. More bolito are
now schooling on the fishing grounds and are being using for offshore
trolling baits. The bolito are readily striking on small hoochies early in
the day, but as the sun rose higher in the sky these great baitfish became
hard to catch. There has been a long absence of schooling sardinas for the
La Playita panga fleets, this past week the sardinas have been starting to
move in along the beach stretch just to the north of the Puerto Los Cabos
Marina Jetty, not in sufficient quantity to supply the fleets, but at least
this is encouraging we are seeing these baitfish back in our area. Some
locals have been able to net these sardinas from the beach and are using
them to catch some very impressive sized snook, quite a few of these
normally elusive fish have been landed, weighing in the 20 to 45 lb. class.
One snook estimated to be at least 60 pounds was landed, this could have
been a new IGFA world record, as the all tackle record for snook is now
listed at 58 lb., those these local anglers just hauled the catch off to
their home, not wishing to go through all of the record applications, etc…
Anglers are finding good numbers of late season roosterfish early in the
day right in the vicinity of the PLC Marina Channel, still some roosters to
50 pounds in this area, striking on slow trolled live bait. Not much action
found off the bottom rock piles now, there has been a persistent strong
current running and this appears to be slacking up some now, in recent days
some nice huachinango were being hooked into on yo-yo jigs on rock pile
near San Luis Bank.
Most consistent gamefish action is now being found offshore, anywhere from
3 to 15 miles out, has varied from day to day, earlier in the week the best
bite was found off of San Luis, then later in the week that action slowed
and the bite was better straight out front of San Jose del Cabo and towards
the Gordo Banks. Striped marlin, blue marlin, sailfish, dorado, yellowfin
tuna and a handful of wahoo were all being found. Anglers used a
combination of trolling lures and various baitfish, including slabs from
giant squid, which were being sold at the dock area in the morning.
Most of the yellowfin being encountered were on the grounds from Iman to
Vinormama, not associated with porpoise, blind strikes while trolling
hoochies, cedar plugs and small feathers, sizes averaged 8 to 15 lb. Dorado
ranged from small juvenile fish to trophy sized bulls, close to 50 pounds.
Scattered action, some charters reported never seeing any dorado, while
others accounted for 3,4,5 of more very impressive fish. Billfish were also
hit or miss, though some incredible action was encountered, one cruiser
charter out of La Playita accounted for two blue marlin, a striped marlin
and sailfish, as well as tuna and dorado all in one morning.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 85 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 5 blue marlin, 9 sailfish, 28 striped marlin, 96
yellowfin tuna, 110 dorado, 3 wahoo, 38 roosterfish, 15 jack crevalle, , 22
huachinango (red snapper) and 13 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
