Anglers –
November 19, 2017
The crazy busy fall season is going to
start lightening up in the next week,
though this past week was very busy.
Visiting anglers were enjoying clear
sunny skies, with high temperatures in
the upper 80s, still warmer than usual
for this late in the fall. Winds were
picking up from the north, though more
so later in the morning, most fishing
action now was concentrated from the
Gordo Banks to San Luis Banks and the
spots in between. Ocean water
temperatures were still holding in the
83 to 84 degree range, several degrees
warmer than usual, so we are
anticipating having good action
throughout the month of December as
well.
Despite continued heavy pressure the
supplies of sardinas have been holding
up, being netted along the beach
stretches from Palmilla and further
south, this meant a bit of back
tracking or waiting near the marina
entrance, but at least this preferred
bait was obtainable, anglers also
continue to use slabs of squid as well.
Most consistent action this week was
for the yellowfin tuna on the Iman and
San Luis Banks, wide open action on
tuna in the 10 to 20 lb. class, also
other areas where a handful of
yellowfin in the 70 to 100 lb. range
were being landed. The Gordo Banks
slowed down, but was still the place to
look for the possible largest of tuna,
though this week we only heard of a
couple of fish in the 150 lb. range,
none over 200 or 300 lb. that we found
out about. A few black marlin still
hanging around in the warmer currents
as well, with all of the tuna around,
plenty of food source for the marlin.
Lots of natural food on the banks as
well, this can make the larger tuna
more finicky. Most days charters were
returning early, plugged with tuna, the
majority the smaller grade, but still
nice fish.
Dorado continued to be harder to come
by, only a sporadic fish or two being
found, most all under 15 lb., an
occasional exception close to 20 lb.
The wahoo action has not really broken
open yet, though we have had ta aste of
some decent action, and some boats were
fortunate to get lucky and land as many
as four in one morning, though other
boats were searching hard and felt
lucky if they landed one. Best chances
for the wahoo seemed to be on the
ground from the Iman Bank and to
Vinorama. The wahoo were striking on
various rapalas, lures and baits. We
are hoping that as crowds lighten up
some, the wahoo will become more
active, with the warmer water hanging
around the prospects remain high for
the next few weeks.
Not really the time frame now when
there is a lot of bottom action going
on, though there were a few amberjack,
pargo, bonito, cabrilla being accounted
for, more triggerfish than anything
else. A few more sierra starting to
appear, even though the water is still
warm, in the next month we should see
some better inshore action happening,
perhaps more off the bottom as well.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 210 charters for
the week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 3 black marlin, 1 yellowtail
corvina, 78 wahoo, 28 sierra, 1650
yellowfin tuna, 78 dorado, 9 amberjack,
12 yellow snapper, 28 huachinango, 25
Eastern Pacific bonito, 82 white
skipjack, 10 cabrilla and 110
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
