San Jose del Cabo
March 8, 2015
We are seeing fairly good sized crowds of tourists visiting the Los Cabos
area now, though not a great percentage of these people were interested in
sportfishing. So fleets were not all that busy, though with the new month
arriving, we all know that spring break is just around the corner and even
greater numbers of visitors will be arriving. This time frame is a time of
transition, when we start to have warmer days, up into 80s, scattered cloud
cover at times, fluctuating winds, often picking up stronger later in the
day. Can feel like late spring one day and then be a bit cooler the next,
even feeling a bit wintry early in the morning.
Every season can be a little different, it does feel like the worst of the
north winds are now over, we have seen signs of marine cloud layer
developing, cooler ocean currents meeting with warmer land masses can cause
this. Throughout most of the region ocean temperatures are averaging 74
degrees, up to 76 degrees outside of Cabo San Lucas, near the Jaime Bank.
This is still several degrees warmer than what we normally might expect to
have at this time. Baitfish migration, as well as striped marlin action
seems to be affected. No mackerel or sardinetas now being found, these are
one of the main food sources for the striped marlin. No concentrations of
squid either, so if there is not the sustainable food source, the fish will
scattered and be on the move, searching. Water clarity had been good for
the most part.
Sardinas continue to be found schooling close to shore near Vinorama, a
long run for the bait suppliers, not worth their while unless a certain
numbers of charters are going to need this resource, on other days the low
tides and increased swell activity made it a tough go for netting any of
these baitfish, which were in close proximity to the rocky outcroppings.
The majority of days though the sardinas were available, other option were
caballito.
The all-around fishing action was less consistent this past week constantly
changing conditions have things a bit unsettled, we are optimistic
conditions will begin to stabilize soon and this should help put things
back on the right track. Most local charters are fishing areas from the
Gordo Banks, to Cardon, La Fortuna and as far as Vinorama.
Inshore sierra action became more hit of miss, this had been a sure bet
bite in previous weeks. A few smaller sized roosterfish were found close to
shore as well, particularly near Punta Gorda and the La Laguna area. These
jacks were striking best on slow trolled bait, same for the sierra. Bottom
action had been showing some promising signs, with more red snapper, yellow
snapper, cabrilla and even some nice amberjack and yellowtail. But, then as
weather changed the bite all dropped off, best bet now is either close to
shore or over the various rock piles. No surface action now for yellowfin
tuna or dorado, only a handful of small dorado being encountered. The
Eastern Pacific bonito had been a mainstay recently, providing the most
consistent action, with some bonito to over 10 pounds being accoutered for.
This bite dropped off to a standstill and all we can do is wait for things
to improve.
Off of Cerralvo Island towards the East Cape. We had heard of reports of
out of season wahoo activity, the same things happened for one super panga
out of La Playita earlier in the week, one boat landed six wahoo up to 25
pounds from an area just north of Vinorama, this was an isolated incident,
as no one else reported getting into the action, which was kind of a fluke
and also out of normal range for local charter fleets. Of course the next
day these wahoo did not decided to bite. It just proves that anything can
possibly happen on any given day.
Still many whales in the area, as these mammals have been entertaining
people that are based on land and ones boats.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 67 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of:
3 striped marlin, 6 yellowtail, 6 wahoo, 21 dorado, 34 sierra, 120 Eastern
Pacific bonito, 11 amberjack, 14 cabrilla, 15 huachinango, 24 roosterfish,
22 yellow snapper, 1 thrasher shark and 45 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
