San Jose del Cabo
February 22, 2015
Last weekend a weather front swept in from the south, on Friday there were
scattered thunderstorms through the afternoon, though nothing really
developed from this system, after forecasts were calling for rain through
Monday, it never happened, mainly just cloud cover and winds, which created
choppy ocean conditions. Water temperatures are ranging from 72 to 75
degrees, slightly higher than what we usually see this time of year.
Fishing action slowed over the weekend, mainly due to the weather condition
factor.
The new week started off great, with increased numbers of anglers enjoying
the weather as it settled down, with clear skies and high temperatures in
the upper 80s. Calm ocean conditions and immediately the fishing action
picked back up. Anglers were finding decent supplies of live sardinas from
the commercial fleet near Vinorama. Center of the most consistent bite was
found near La Fortuna and the Iman Bank. This is where yellowfin tuna,
averaging 15 to 30 lb. were found schooling, a bit line shy and finicky,
striking best on lighter size leaders on fly lined baits. Mixed in with the
yellowfin were black skipjack, white tuna and Eastern Pacific Bonito. A
handful of larger tuna from 75 lb. to 100 lb. were also reported. This has
been an incredible bonus for anglers visiting during the month of February,
normally a tough time to find any tuna action locally.
Dorado were still more numerous on the Pacific grounds, though they have
been found closer to shore at times off of San Jose del Cabo grounds. A few
nicer sized dorado to over 20 pounds were weighed in. A few wahoo were
landed as well, blind strikes on lures, as well as on baits being targeted
for the tuna action. Strange season, anything could happen on any day.
Bottom action has been slow to pick up and become consistent, a lot has
depended on the current, some days it has been just too swift to even get
down and hold the bottom, but at times when currents did slack there were
some nice fish found, including cabrilla, grouper, snapper, pargo,
amberjack and bonito. We saw one 50 lb. amberjack, a couple of yellowtail,
but still no numbers on these jacks. Anglers were using yo-yo jigs and
various whole and cut baits for the bottom action, which has been found on
the same fishing grounds as where the yellowfin tuna action is.
Billfish action was slow, scattered fish being encountered anywhere from
three to twenty miles offshore, no concentrations or feeding frenzies to
speak of. There were reports of swordfish sightings off of the 1150 spot,
so these prized gladiators will be sought after for serious offshore
enthusiasts.
Great time for whale watching now, with both humpbacks and grays in the
area, there were also whale shark sightings reported.
Sierra have continue to dominate the inshore action, averaging 2 to 4
pounds, sardinas have been the bait of choice for this early morning bite.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 91 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of:
5 striped marlin, 2 yellowtail, 385 yellowfin tuna, 4 wahoo, 88 dorado, 145
sierra, 56 bonito, 18 white tuna, 19 amberjack, 26 cabrilla, 35 huachiango,
30 yellow snapper and 450 skipjack.
Good fishing, Eric
