Anglers –
This past week we witnessed how late summer tropical climate patterns can
change within a matter of hours. After enjoying relatively stable
conditions for a couple of weeks, this all changed on Wednesday afternoon,
as a disorganized low pressure system all of a sudden developed into
Tropical Storm Juliette. Within 12 hours this storm passed directly over
Cab San Lucas and continued towards central Baja. TS Juliette traveling at
a rapid pace, 30 mph hour, not giving much of a chance to gain more
strength, this was fortunate, as not a lot of damage was reports, normal
low land flooding and some moderate wind damage, as gusts of 45 mph were
steady and even higher winds of 75 mph were recorded in isolated areas.
Sportfishing fleet were shut down for last Friday and Saturday due to high
swells and rain caused by TS Ivo and once again there were closed port red
flag conditions on this Thursday, before reopening for Friday morning, as
ocean settled down and skies cleared. The next few weeks is always a time
when weather forecasts are monitored closely.
Most consistent fishing action recently has been for dorado, found
scattered throughout the region, traveling in schools of various sized
fish, the majority of which have been juvenile sized, though there is a
percentage of much larger dorado mixed in. There have been increasing
numbers of wahoo being reported, striking mainly on lures, over the
traditional high spots, as well as in the open blue water. This is
favorable sigh to see this many wahoo so easy in the season, as they
normally become more active later on in the fall.
There was excitement on the Gordo Banks, as the season’s first large sized
yellowfin tuna are moving on to these grounds. On Tuesday there were
several big tuna landed, up to 250 pounds, many other hook ups were lost
while battling huge tuna on heavy gear, the word traveled quickly, on
Wednesday there were heavy boat pressure and the big tuna did not want to
cooperate, though some of these cows were seen briefly feeding on surface.
Anglers have been using various baitfish, bolito, skipjack yellowfin,
chihuil and strips of fresh squid. As weather settles down we anticipate
this action will only improve, everyone is tuning up their heavy gear, so
that can be best prepared to battle these giants. There are football sized
yellowfin tuna being found throughout the zone, sometimes they have been
associated with porpoise, but often just encountered by blind strikes while
trolling hoochie type lures and cedar plugs.
Inshore action has really come to a standstill, this is normal during this
period of higher swell conditions, which also scatter inshore baitfish
schools. Not much bottom action now due to the continued strong current, a
handful of red snapper found alongside the anchored commercial fleet. Most
consistent fishing has found near the surface, charters are using a
combination of lures and the available baitfish. Anglers now have a chance
offshore of hooking into a grand slam of billfish, as there are striped,
blue and black marlin, as well as sailfish all present on the offshore
grounds.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 45 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 4 blue marlin, 2 black marlin, 8 striped marlin,
5 sailfish, 84 yellowfin tuna, 162 dorado, 4 wahoo and
18 huachinango (red snapper).
Good fishing, Eric
