Anglers –
With the start of the new month, the always popular fall fishing season has
started off with large crowds of anglers arriving to take advantage of the
calm weather and great fishing opportunities. Weather has been very
pleasant, no new storm systems developing on the horizon at this time,
daytime temperatures are in the upper 80s, evenings and early morning are
cooler, though jackets are not needed yet. With all of the summer rainfall
the desert landscape has transformed into lush green vegetation.
Ocean water temperatures are still averaging 85 degrees in the direction of
the Sea of Cortez. The bait situation is a little scattered, sardinas are
beginning to move into local waters, but are of very small in size, need to
have time to mature, but with heavy pressure that might not happen. Fresh
giant squid are being sold at the docks in La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina, this has been the main bait now being used for the yellowfin tuna
on the grounds from the Iman, San Luis and Vinorama Bank. Anglers are drift
fishing with strips of squid, this has been productive for tuna in the 10
to 30 pound class, the majority of the tuna are running 10 to 15 lbs., but
the yellowfin found outside of Vinorama have been a larger grade of fish,
25 to 30 lb. Limits were the rule throughout the week. Dorado were found
throughout the zone as well, the majority were smaller sized, though some
fish to over 20 pounds were landed.
Only a few of the larger sized yellowfin tuna that have been lurking around
the Gordo Banks were hooked into this past week, most of these were hooked
by local teams of pangeros on specialized trips scouting out future
tournament potentials. The few big hook ups that were accounted for were
while trolling bolito or on chunk bait. Strong current is still prevalent,
but not as swift as it has been. A few larger sized marlin were hooked
into, one 312 lb. blue was weighed in, landed from a 23 ft. panga. Another
much larger marlin was lost after an extended battle on gear that was used
for targeting the cow yellowfin.
The most common billfish found on the grounds out of San Jose del Cabo this
past week were sailfish, ranging 50 to 90 pounds, striking lures and on
various whole and strip baits. There were some striped marlin in the mix as
well, ranging from smaller 50 lb. fish up to specimens nearing 200 pounds.
Wahoo remained elusive, though everyday they are being seen in the areas
where dorado and wahoo are schooling, a handful of wahoo were landed, most
of these were on strips of squid and some were on traditional skirted
trolling lures or rapalas.
With the surface action being the best action recently, not many bottom
fish were reported, a handful of amberjack, rainbow runner, bonito, pargo
and dogtooth snapper were landed. We expect now that we are seeing the
current not be so persistent, this will give more opportunities for bottom
action in the coming weeks, opening up another option for anglers.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 134 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 8 striped marlin, 23 sailfish, 2 blue
marlin, 12 wahoo, 11 amberjack, 16 rainbow runner,
23 bonito, 7 dogtooth snapper, 8 barred pargo, 5 grouper, 820 yellowfin
tuna and 276 dorado.
Good fishing, Eric
