Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
February 23, 2014
Anglers -
The month of February is known for crazy unpredictable weather
patterns, this week we witnessed some cooler morning conditions and
high temperatures up to 85 degrees, feeling more like late spring
instead of winter time. We also felt more wind, predominately from the
north, but then swirling from out of the east and south as well, but
overall the climate was ideal and anglers found comfortable ocean
conditions and great all around action
With the warmer ocean temperatures of up to 75 degrees now pushing in
the direction of San Jose del Cabo and towards the La Fortuna and San
Luis Banks, this is where the sportfishing fleets are concentrating,
even boats from Cabo San Lucas are making the long runs north to get
into this more consistent fishing action. Pacific side water
temperatures have dropped into the upper 60's. Mackerel schools
continued to be scarce, ballyhoo supplies were plentiful and there
have been options for a variety of gamefish, caballito baitfish have
been obtainable most mornings as well, fresh bags of brined sardinas
are being sold at the panga dock area on a limited first come, first
serve basis.
Considering the time of year, anglers have been enjoying quality
action for dorado, some wahoo and even yellowfin tuna showing in the
fish counts. Billfish have been more scattered since the recent full
moon, no concentrations of baitfish offshore, beside schooling
skipjack. Though in recent days we have seen more striped marlin
appearing again, anywhere from one or two miles from shore and on out
to 20 miles. Even a couple of sailfish were reportedly hooked into,
crazy times in February.
Yellowfin tuna are holding over the structure from La Fortuna, Iman
and to San Luis Bank, the key factor was obtaining a supply of
sardinas, which have been scarce all year, fresh dead sardinas were
now available early morning at the panga dock area, though in limited
supply and a few charters were more fortunate when they were able to
purchase live sardinas from commercial pangeros from northern camps. A
handful of mostly panga charters got into this yellowfin tuna action
while drift fishing with sardinas and using light leaders, landing up
to five, six, seven or eight fish, ranging in weights of 10 to 20 lb.
Dorado were being found in smaller sized groups spread throughout the
inshore and offshore grounds, sizes averaged 5 to 15 lb., a few
fishing pushing the 20 to 25 lb. mark, still impressive for mid winter
season. Wahoo action continues to be an added bonus, normally not a
common catch during this month, though the bite did taper off compared
to how it had broke wide open late last week. In recent days a handful
of charters did land up to three or four wahoo in their combined daily
catch. These fish hit on trolled lures, various baits and on yo-yo
style casting jigs. Best areas were close to shore off of Punta Gorda
to La Fortuna. Sizes on the wahoo averaged 15 to 20 pounds, though
there were some quality sized fish up to 40 pounds also accounted for.
Bottom action has never really started this season, with warmer ocean
temperatures, winds and currents all contributing to no consistent
structure action. At least not yet, we are still not into March or
spring time. This is always the time of year when we start to see the
arrival of yellowtail in local waters, so far only a scattering of
these powerful jacks have been found. Though just in recent days there
have been more encounters with these popular gamefish. Anglers who
were jigging for what was great action on hog sized skipjack and
Eastern Pacific Bonito also hooked into a few yellowtail, fish to 25
lb. were landed, others lost to cut lines, encouraging signs of a
developing bite. We did hear of at least one nice yellowtail being
caught by a beach fishing angler on a splashier hoochie combination.
Sierras are patrolling the shorelines, a few nicer sized fish to 8
pounds were seen, a mix of jack crevalle and juvenile sized
roosterfish in the same stretches, these fish were hitting on trolled
baits, hoochies or rapalas. Whales were still being seen spouting in
all directions, these mammals have not headed north yet, next month is
normally when they will start the northern migration.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 76 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
6 striped marlin, 21 wahoo, 49 yellowfin tuna, 6 yellowtail, 145
bonito, 4 amberjack,11 jack crevalle, 78 sierra, 234 dorado, 14
roosterfish, 14 yellow tail snapper, 15 misc. shark and 12 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
