San Jose del Cabo
April 14, 2015
Spring break vacation period is now coming to a close, this has been a busy
time in Los Cabos, with everyone enjoying the pristine conditions, perfect
85 degree temperatures now, felling a bit tropical, light winds, perfect
conditions for all of the available outdoor activities.
Anglers found ideal ocean conditions, light swells, moderate variable
afternoon breezes, with water temperatures ranging from 74 to 77 degrees,
occasional swift currents, blue water being found within a couple miles of
shore and a variety of gamefish now in local waters. Most consistent
fishing grounds were from the Gordo Banks and north towards Vinorama.
Recent catches have included striped marlin, dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna,
bonito, roosterfish, skipjack, pargo, cabrilla and jack crevalle. Sardinas
have once again been found schooling near San Luis, commercial bait netters
worked hard for limited supplies, other bait option were caballito, chihuil
and ballyhoo. Many species now in the area, though the action varied from
day to day and the fish needed to be worked for. Best action proved to be
encountered while using various baits.
Dorado were not numerous, though some larger sized fish are now being
accoutered for, some bulls to 30 pounds were brought in. Some of these
dorado were found very close to shore. Most of the roosterfish now being
found were along the stretch from Puerto Los Cabos Marina towards Punta
Gorda and weighed less than fifteen pounds. Schools of large sized jack
crevalle found close to shore as well, some up to 30 pounds. Not many
sierra now being located. The Eastern Pacific bonito were one of the more
prevalent species now present on the various high spots, these fish ranged
up to ten pounds.
The highlight of the week was that with sardinas once again obtainable, the
yellowfin tuna action rebounded near Vinorama, even though this preferred
bait was not overly abundant, anglers were accounting for decent catches on
yellowfin weighing in the 25 lb. to 35 lb. class. The tuna were striking on
both dead and live sardinas, while drift fishing with lighter weight
leaders of 30/40 lb. Charters fishing this spot were accounting for
anywhere from one to eight tuna, all quality sized fish. This spot is very
close to shore and aggressive triggerfish are biting here as well. Wahoo
have been hanging around these same grounds, some days more active than
others, striking best on sardinas while targeting tuna, or on rigged
ballyhoo and a handful on Rapalas. Many of the wahoo caught were smaller
sized 15 to 25 lb. fish, though there was one wahoo this past week that was
in the 80 lb. class and another one close to fifty pounds.
The few yellowtail that have been in the area have been coming from the
Outer Gordo Banks, these fish all ranged in the 20 to 35 lb. class,
striking most readily on live chihuil, a few hit on dead bait, though this
was a hit or miss bite and there was not much else in the meantime being
found on these grounds, besides some skipjack and bonito, though striped
marlin were found near these grounds.
Humpback whales are still in the area, though in fewer numbers, they were
seen feeding aggressive on some unidentified food source on the Gordo
Banks, apparently filling up before starting their journey to their
northern summer feeding grounds.
Not much bottom action this past week, some snapper, pargo, bonito,
amberjack, but no consistent bite and most anglers opted to try for the
tuna or wahoo.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 74 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of:
280 yellowfin tuna, 15 striped marlin, 38 wahoo, 28 dorado, 9 sierra, 90
Eastern Pacific bonito, 23 cabrilla, 16 roosterfish, 10 amberjack, 21
yellowtail, 12 jack crevalle, 28 misc. pargo and 55 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
