Fishing Report from Noel Gyger http: www.noelgyger.ca for Monday October 3, 2011
Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Meziadin North
Current LIVE Fishing Report can be read anytime 24-7 at: http://www.noelgyger.ca/current-fishing-reports.htm
Skeena River: The river is fishing very good for Steelhead and Coho around the Terrace area. My friends and I fished on the Skeena yesterday for Steelhead and Coho. We did great, although our land-lose ratio was not very good. We went 6 for 16....means we hooked a total of 16 fish. Lost 10 and landed 6 of which 2 were Coho and 4 Steelhead. I'll try and cut a video but not sure if I got enough good footage. The weather today was excellent, mostly sunny and no wind. Water had a tint of colour but the fish did not seem to care and keep attacking our tackle. We also landed a bunch of Dolly Varden Char...or Bull Trout. It was just a wonderful day. Hope to do it again soon. Reg: all wild Steelhead everywhere in British Columbia are catch and release.
Kalum River: Lower end is still high but some would say borderline fishable now. The upper end is dropping and is borderline fishable. The lake is colored. It is going to take quite awhile for the lake and river to totally clean out. Theory: Under these conditions the fish cannot tell the difference between debris to your terminal tackle. Fact: Coho and Steelhead are coming in now! How to: This is a good river to float fish a Pink Worm or Gooey Bob.
Lakelse River: The water is dropping and very clean. Coho are coming in now but NOT in huge numbers. This is ''prime-time'' for Coho but the fish just are not there in any good numbers. Pinks are in good numbers and most are spawning everywhere. The Bears and the Birds are having a feast.
Zymoetz (Copper) River: Water is dropping and cleaning. Facts: Last year we had a record run of Steelhead, lets hope at least we have another good run this year. The fly rods work extremely well in this river.
Kitimat River: Kitimat River is still fishing well for Coho.
Kasiks, Exchamsiks and Exstew Rivers: are fishing well for Coho.
Douglas Channel: NOTICE: DFO closes recreational halibut fishery as of Sept. 5. The Douglas Channel is still producing some Coho but it is a situation of being in the right place at the right time. Most of the Coho will be migrating to their spawning rivers but can still be caught by the Saltwater anglers. We also received reports of Bottomfish still being caught further down the Douglas Channel. Weather conditions will start to be more of a factor but fishing for Coho and Bottomfish in the Douglas Channel can still be very productive. Dungeness Crab trapping this time of year is usually very good as the Crab are stacking up at the river/creek mouths expecting a feed of dead spawned out salmon.
Lakes - Smithers: Lake fishing in the area is still very good. Fishing for rainbow trout and lake trout has been very productive.
Morice River: The Morice is high and dirty. It has snowed there today as well. 3 inches of snow striking to the ground.... If it warms up....
Bulkley River: The Bulkley River is ''fishing''. 2-3 feet of visibility. Fish tight to shore and light..... It is snowing at higher elevations so the river could come up again in a flash.... if it warms up.
Kispiox River: Borderline fishable at the bottom. Better higher up. Some fish caught. Busy place...
Babine River: Babine is dropping bit by bit. Cohos and Steelhead are being caught
Babine Lake: Babine Lake is still producing lots of fish. The limit has been increased to 4 fish on the lake.

Cabo Fish Report
Sept. 26 - Oct. 2, 2011
WEATHER: Another week of hot weather following the heat of last week! Two more weeks before traditionally it starts cooling down again. This week we once again saw most days of over 100 degrees in town. Most anglers were happy to get on the water where it was at least 10 degrees cooler. We had a few days of partly cloudy skies, but the clouds for the most part were high in the sky. On Wednesday we did get a bit of a surprise as the clouds moved right in on us and spit some rain here in town. Just to the north a bit there was actually a pretty good downpour and of course, there was plenty in the mountains.
WATER: The Cortes side of the Cape this week was mostly 88 degrees out to the 1150 and the 95 spot and then it dropped a degree to 87 to the east of there, not a big difference, but there you go. On the Pacific side there was a band of cooler 85 degree water along the beach extending out a mile or two, then it rose to 86-87 degrees until you got a few miles to the west of the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks, then it dropped to 86 degrees. As you can see, there were no strong temperature breaks out there this week. Surface conditions were pretty darn good except for the large swells at the start of the week, a result of the passing of Hurricane Hillary to the west. The rest of the week saw reduced swells spaced far apart and only light wind chop for the most part.
BAIT: Caballito, Mullet and Sardines were the live bait available with the bigger baits at the usual $3 each and just a few of the Sardinas at $25 a scoop up in the Palmilla area. Sardinas were hard to come by early in the week due to the large swells hitting the beach.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Of course the big news of the week on the Marlin front was the capture of a fish variously called a Blue and then a Black, between 855 and 1,213 pounds. Maybe someday we will get a real, certified scale that can weigh fish like this installed at the marina. For more information on this fish go to my blog at www.captgeo.wordpress.com. I did not hear of any other large Marlin brought in or fought this week but I am sure there were a few more. I do know that there were a scattering of Sailfish around as well as some Striped Marlin. Not large numbers, nor large fish, but there were some billfish out there to be caught. One of the best days I heard of was a 3 for 5 release on Striped Marlin in one day, all on live bait, all on the Pacific side. I heard late yesterday afternoon a credible rumor that some big blue and blacks are starting to move in! Just in time for the tournaments! But I have not seen any myself this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: this week was a hot one for the Yellowfin Tuna, last week was a cold one! And then, just to top things off, the bite turned off on Saturday! There were scattered schools of porpoise holding Yellowfin all week on the Pacific side and to the south as well as the west, basicly they were scattered all over the place. We had clients who caught Tuna on Friday early in the morning that would have worn them out if they had stayed with the school. Back on the water on Saturday and could not find one fish! Word is that there have been quite a few Purse Seiners working out there, but to have that many fish gone overnight has to be something other than just the commercial guys.
DORADO: Once again the fish of the week, but just because the Tuna bite was not a steady one. The Dorado were steady as every time you went out you could catch them. Most of them were not large, averaging perhaps 10 pounds, but there were plenty of them to be found close to the beach on the Pacific side. Just like last week, a few boats got into schools of fish that were larger with an average of 15-18 pounds, but there were not as many of them and they were found a bit farther offshore.
WAHOO: The new moon phase was really quiet for Wahoo and I only heard of two fish caught. One of them was small at 20 pounds, I am not sure of the size of the other fish, and they were caught close to shore by boats that were targeting Dorado.
INSHORE: Roosterfish, Needle-fish, Bonita, Skipjack, Dorado with a scattering of Grouper and Snapper rounded out the fish inshore this week. There were no large numbers of any of them except for the Dorado, and there were plenty of them to keep anglers happy. Many of the Pangas went offshore in search of Tuna this week instead of focusing on the inshore fish. Early in the week this was really the case since we had the large swells hitting the coastline.
FISH RECIPE: My recipe has been taking too much space so if you want to see it, check out my wordpress blog a little later in the week, or subscribe to the blog and you will receive an email as soon as I post it.
NOTES: Well, so much for the hope of a Seahawk perfect losing season, guess we now have to hope for the team to get it together and win a few. I was really hoping for first pick in next years draft, sigh. We had a busy week this past week and there were plenty of fish out there as you can tell from the list above. Some big Tuna, big Marlin and plenty of good eating Dorado. If it were not for the heat things would be perfect! My music for this report was once again (for the 12th time) Brian Flynn! He will be playing at our favorite bar, Tanga-Tanga this afternoon after the football games! Southern Rock at it's finest! I'll take a few pictures to post on the blog later on.
Until next week, tight lines!

San Jose del Cabo
October 2, 2011
The Eastern Pacific is now calm, late season now for tropical storms to develop,
though they have been known to pop up quickly at this time of year, presently the
weather is great, still quite warm and humid, light winds, with cooler nights.
Hurricane Hilary passed within 400 miles of Cabo San Lucas, before eventually
downgrading over cooler waters, ocean swells did increase the first part of the
week, but have since already dropped, only scattered reports of measureable
rainfall.
Significant increase in numbers of anglers arriving this past week, it seems the
fall season is starting early this year. With high stake tournaments just weeks
away, anticipation is high. Local teams are beginning to scout out potential jackpot
winning fishing grounds and with news of the monster 1,000 lb. class blue marlin
landed this past week out of Cabo, this has got the adrenaline flowing even more.
Water temperatures continue to average higher than normal, most of the region is all
in the 85 to 90 degree range, warmest areas in the direction of Los Frailes. The
passing of Hurricane Hilary created choppy seas, turned over waters closer to shore
and really pushed in a powerful current, this contributed to a few days of tougher
all around fishing action. Just the past couple of days the conditions have settled
and fleets are reporting improved counts of dorado, with yellowfin tuna and other
species also in the mix.
Finding sufficient supplies of sardinas became more difficult in the higher surf
conditions, with most of the schooling baitfish now congregated off the rocky
beaches from Palmilla Point to San Maria. Anglers are also jigging up some jacks and
moonfish inside the marina channel.
Action spread out more, charters were heading out in different directions, more
numbers of dorado were accounted for while trolling lures and various baitfish,
limits were not uncommon, sizes ranged up to 30 pounds, most fish were in the ten
pound class. The majority of the more consistent action was found from Santa Maria
to the Iman Banks.
Tuna activity dropped way off during the increased swell and current activity, but
the past couple days the yellowfin have made a showing off of the La Fortuna area,
finicky to strike, but some charters landed as many as four yellowfin tuna, weights
ranged from 15 to 60 pounds. Lots of aggressive skipjack, scattered schools of
dorado and an occasional sailfish or marlin hook up as well. There was one 130 pound
yellowfin landed from a panga that was slow trolling a larger live bait in the deep
channel just offshore of the marina entrance at first light, not an everyday
occurrence.
Not much steady bottom action found, mainly because of the ragging current, which
made it nearly impossible to reach bottom. Now with the slacking current we expect
to see more encounters with dogtooth snapper and amberjack.
Early in the week there was some good roosterfish action found right of the marina
jetties, anglers were trolling with moonfish, catch and release on many roosters
that were as large as 30 pounds. Roosterfish up to fifty pounds were landed in
recent days off of the offshore rock piles, a bit unusual, but something we have
starting to see more often, roosterfish normally patrol inshore waters, we now see
they will travel further offshore in search of a food source.
Only an occasional wahoo now being landed, these fish are still sluggish in the
warmer waters, we did hear of a few more wahoo being hooked off of Cabo San Lucas,
same areas where dorado were found. The Gordo Banks area also reported a handful of
wahoo, sizes up to 45 pounds.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out
approximately 105 charters for the week, with anglers accounted for: 4 striped
marlin, 7 sailfish, 1 black marlin, 5 wahoo, 188 dorado, 48 yellowfin tuna, 7
dogtooth snapper, 9 amberjack, 28 roosterfish, 1 pompano, 26 pargo, 22 bonito and 18
cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric

Noel Gyger http://www.noelgyger.ca Current Fishing Report for Monday September 26, 2011
Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Meziadin North
Go here for LIVE Fishing Report http://www.noelgyger.ca/current-fishing-reports.htm
Skeena River: The whole river and dirty and really not fishable. Kalum River is dumping a whole bunch of mud into the Skeena. Reg: all wild Steelhead everywhere in British Columbia are catch and release. Good chance to catch both Steelhead and Coho (Silver) Salmon on the same day.
Kalum River: Lower end is really high an dirty. Lots of debris suspended in the water so fishing is difficult. Also new trees hanging up in the river everywhere. Theory: Under these conditions the fish cannot tell the difference between debris to your terminal tackle. Upper end is probably dirty also. The lake is dirty. It is going to take quite awhile for this river to clean out.
Lakelse River: The water is dropping and very clean. Coho are coming in now but NOT in huge numbers. This is ''prime-time'' for Coho but the fish just are not there in any good numbers. Pinks are in good numbers and most are spawning everywhere. The Bears and the Birds are having a feast.
Zymoetz (Copper) River: Water is blown out, just too much rain. Lower end is Copper Colour. Facts: Last year we had a record run of Steelhead, lets hope at least we have another good run this year.
Morice River: The Morice is still in excellent shape and it is dropping. Again, some Steelheads are being caught on the Morice. Fishing is not very consistent. Good for a day or two than very poor.... Fishing should improve as water levels drop....
Bulkley River: The Bulkley above the Telkwa is still in good shape. Below the Telkwa visibility is 1-2 feet.... Lots of rain in the mountains..... Beware of a big grizzly bear between Telkwa and Smithers close to the ''dump''.
Kispiox River: The Kispiox is high again.... If the weather gods cooperate it should be fishing great in a day or two again.... Fishing was so good over the last few days.... Big fish.
Babine River: Babine is dropping bit by bit. Cohos and Steelhead are being caught.
Babine Lake: Babine Lake is still producing lots of fish. The limit has been increased to 4 fish on the lake.

Cabo Fish Report
Sept. 19-25, 2011
WEATHER: Once again we had hot weather, just when we thought that there was a chance that fall was here early! What were we thinking? Our daytime highs have been over 100 degrees most days while the nighttime lows have only dropped to the mid 80's. With very little cloud cover this week it was a warm 7 days! What did keep our attention focused on the weather was the possible approach of Hurricane Hillary. She started in the usual place but then took off to the west due to some high pressure in our area but she is expected to re-curve to the north this weekend, but will be passing well to the west of us as a tropical storm. We have a very low chance (0-10%) of getting tropical storm strength winds, but we do hope that we get a bit of cloud cover and (fingers crossed!) a bit of rain.
WATER: At the end of the week the water across the Sea of Cortez was a very consistent 88 degrees with an occasional showing of 90 degree water. To the west on the Pacific ocean the temperature dropped a little bit, but there was no hard definition to the change. Across the San Jaime Bank we were seeing 85-86 degree water and on the Golden Gate Bank it dropped a bit to 84 degrees. The band of cooler water we had last week along the shore went away and now it is the same almost everywhere. Surface conditions have been great at the beginning of this week with little if any wind chop, small swells and smooth seas. With the approach of Hurricane Hillary we expected the size of the swells to pick up and we were not disappointed. If you have been to Cabo and know Medano beach, then you know when the swell is bucking up against the beach steps of the Pueblo Bonito Rose and Blanco hotels, then they are large swells. They are expected to pick up a little more in the next few days then go back to normal. If it is just the swells then we should have no problems offshore, but inshore fishing may be a very iffy proposition.
BAIT: Caballito, Mullet and Sardines were the live bait available with the bigger baits at the usual $3 each and the Sardinas at $25 a scoop up in the Palmilla area.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: I heard of a very nice Black Marlin of 580 pounds being caught by a Panga out of San Jose while fishing the Gorda Bank area this week as well as a few smaller ones from the same area as well as off of Punta Gorda. There were a few scattered Blue Marlin bites to be had scattered around our area as well, but once again no concentration of them. Most of the Blue Marlin were reported to be smaller specimens in the 150-250 pound range. With the warm water came a burst of Sailfish action, at least for a few days, for boats that fished the Cabrillo Seamount, the 1150 and the 95 areas. On the Pacific side of the Cape, as well as off of the Inman Bank there were Striped Marlin, but they were finicky and most of them were in the 100 pound range. UPDATE::::
Marlin Update! The 33 foot Blackfin “Go Deep” just came to the dock with a 855 pound Black Marlin after a fight lasting 28 hours. Anglers Richard Biehl and Tom Miller hooked the beast at 8:20 yesterday morning and finally landed the fish around noon today. More information and pictures tomorrow!
It appears that the Black Marlin I reported as weighing 855 pounds may actually be larger than that, making it the largest Marlin weighed here in Cabo in decades! After hooking the electronic scale to the fish and recording the weight of 855 pounds, the scale was removed and an attempt was made to zero it out. That attempt failed, making the recorded weight suspect. Therefore measurements were taken and re-taken in order to use a basic mathematical formula to find the weight. The girth of the fish (75 1/2 inches) squared (5,700.25) multiplied by the fork length (a measurement from the tip of the lower bill to the fork of the tail, 136.5 inches) = 778,084.125 divided by 800 = 972.60 pounds or - 10%. An extremely nice fish and one of a lifetime for Richard Biehl and Tom Miller. congratulations to both, and to the crew of the 'Go Deep' for their professionalism in staying the course of the fight instead of cutting the fish off after 8 hours.
This fish just goes to show that if you want to be afraid to come to Mexico and Cabo in particular, don't worry about anything on land, worry about what might happen to you if you hook up to a beast like this! If it happens during one of our Marlin Tournaments in October it might be worth a few million dollars as well! Now that is a real reason to fish our waters!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Like I said last week, this has been a fish that has been hot one week and cold the next except for this past two weeks when it has been cold for most of the boats. One reason could be the 3 Purse Seiners that have been working our area for the past several weeks, the fish was good until they showed up. There are still some small area that have been producing fish on a fairly steady basis, but for most of the Cabo based boats running to the Inman banks is just too far an takes too much time. The Inman has been producing some fish in the 30-80 pound class for boats that are there at the right time, but it has been a very time specific fishery, be there when the fish pass through or don't even bother. Fly lined live Sardinas on #20 flouro-carbon leader with plenty tossed into the water for chum, or drifting chunks of fresh bonito have worked for some boats. On the Inner and Outer Gorda some boats were getting lucky on large fish by slow trolling or flying kites using live Skipjack as bait, but unless you were able to get bellow the green Jacks on the surface it was hard to get good bait. On the Pacific side there were scattered groups of porpoise that held some fish, but the fish were extremely shy and it took a kite to present a bait properly to these fish. Even then it was a very tough go as there were many short bites and the fish were moving fast. It comes down to slow fishing for Yellowfin Tuna for almost all the boats, but the ones that did get fish were usually getting quality fish.
DORADO: It looks like Dorado ended up being the fish of the week although at the start of the week it was very slow fishing for these guys. Mid-week the bite started to turn back on close to the beach on the Pacific side, but the fish were not large ones. There were plenty of small ones in the 4-8 pound class which bodes well for the future several months, but larger fish were a hit or miss. Almost every boat that went inshore and tried for the Dorado caught plenty, and almost everyone got at least one fish in the 20 pound class, but these fish were not common inshore. A few boats did manage to find small concentrations of larger fish offshore under small pieces of floating debris, but once again these were isolated incidents and you had to be very lucky.
WAHOO: Once again there were Wahoo reported in the catch of quite a few boats this week, perhaps as many as 15% of the boats fishing reported at least on strike, and about 5% were able to bet one in the fish box. The Wahoo averaged 30 pounds and most of the strikes occurred inshore and happened to the anglers fishing for Dorado. The use of light mono leaders had the expected result of being bitten off by the Wahoo, but sure helped on the Dorado bite!
INSHORE: There were some Roosterfish as well as plenty of action on Jack Crevalle close to the beach early in the week, but at the end of the week the increasing size of the swells made fishing in close a very tricky thing to try. With the increase in Dorado action just off the beach most of the Pangas focused on these fish instead and they did very well (see the Dorado section above).
FISH RECIPE: My recipe has been taking too much space so if you want to see it, check out my wordpress blog a little later in the week, or subscribe to the blog and you will receive an email as soon as I post it. This week I actually will be posting one since we finally got some Tuna to take home, a very nice piece from the 169 pound fish!
NOTES: For the story and pictures of the 972 pound Black caught yesterday go to my blog at http://www.captgeo.wordpress.com. Back from the Sunday morning beach trip with a tired dog and a Bloody Mary in hand as Mary fixes breakfast. My music for the morning is the sound of the talking heads (not the band) of ESPN giving their analysis of today's games. Our hope is for a Seahawk perfect season, if we can manage to lose every game we can get a good quarterback next season.
Until next week, tight lines!
I will be posting more to my blog now http://captgeo.wordpress.com, please go to and subscribe, you will be sent a notice every time I post a new article. Please feel free to send suggestions or if you have any ideas for articles. Thanks George

This time wasn't a charterd trip, but just a family outing with my California bound son, Gabriel and my buddy Danny Sosa from Maguro Fishing Charters. As the name implies, maguro (tuna in Japanese)are the main target during our trips. My son was due a long time for some fishing, so we grabbed our spinning gear and our favorite skirts in silver-blue and hot pink and went trolling for 2 hrs. The total tally were 3 blackfins and 2 little tuny...yes, marlin, dorado and wahoo are always welcome, but sometimes you have to start humble and these little skirts do a great job here in Puerto Rico!

Cabo Fish Report
Sept. 12-18, 2011
WEATHER: As summer slowly winds down we are seeing a slight lowering of our temperatures as well, not a lot, but a little bit. Instead of seeing 86 degrees in the early morning we are now seeing it around 81-82 degrees and the daytime highs are a bit lower as well. Not that it feels all that low since the humidity is still a bit high, but we can tell the difference. We had a bit of cloud cover this past week but no rain and the winds were light for the most part.
WATER: It appears that there is not a lot of change from the last report with the exception of the last two days. Prior to Friday we still had that cool water along the shore on the Pacific side with a warm band across the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks with the water dropping several degrees once you went to the west a bit farther. The Sea of Cortez remained a very steady 87 degrees almost everywhere. The change we experienced, while small, has affected the fishing a little bit. The water to our immediate south and to the east has dropped to between 80 and 84 degrees. It's hard to tell with any certainty, mainly because of the cloud cover and not a lot of boats going there, if there is a strong break somewhere. The effect it has had on the fishing is to spread out the areas where we have been finding Striped Marlin and Yellowfin. Now instead of just on the Pacific side there is more area to cover.
BAIT: Caballito, Mullet and Sardines were the live bait available with the bigger baits at the usual $3 each and the Sardinas at $25 a scoop up in the Palmilla area.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin have been finicky feeders this week with about one in four boats getting shots, and about half of them hooking up long enough to get a release. As in most fishing it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time with the right stuff. Sound familiar? This week the right place expanded as the water to the south and east cooled off a bit. While it had an effect on the Striped Marlin it did not change the Blue and Black Marlin bite at all, they still enjoy water that temperature. There were about half the number of Blue Marlin caught as there were Striped Marlin but they were larger in size with an average of just around 230 pounds. There were a few that were estimated at over 300 pounds but I don't know if there were any of the larger ones landed. Black Marlin are still showing up in the usual areas such as the Gorda Banks and Punta Gorda and they have been averaging 250 pounds, mostly caught on live bait.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This was an off week for most of the anglers looking for Yellowfin Tuna, but there were a few boats that managed to find the right porpoise schools and get into the fish. I did not hear of any reel big ones, but there were nice fish to 120 pounds caught. Of course most of them were smaller and an average of 5 or 6 fish of 30 pounds were caught by boats that got into the fish. Toss in a couple of 40-60 pound class fish and the fishing suddenly became OK, if you were in them! Directly to the south at 28 miles, just to the inside and the outside of the San Jaime Bank and just to the north of the Golden Gate Bank were areas where the most consistent action took place. Once again the boats that used kites to fly baits had better success on the larger fish.
DORADO: The Dorado were a bit shy this week as well but I am not sure of the reason. Where we had been seeing plenty of Dorado caught inshore on the Pacific side, they suddenly quit biting, perhaps they moved farther offshore or up to the north. Whatever the reason, most boats working that area were able to catch a few in the 12-18 pound class, and there were a few larger ones caught farther offshore. There were very few reported from the Cortez side of the Cape in our area.
WAHOO: The full moon did the job and there were Wahoo reported this week! One of our clients caught on that was 62 inches long, as well as a very nice Dorado, and were happy to take home some of those wonderful fillets! There were others caught as well, and in the standard areas you find Wahoo, on the high spots and along the drop-offs.
INSHORE: There was some decent Roosterfish action this week on fish averaging 20 pounds and a few larger fish to 50 pounds. I had one angler report to me that he hooked a “Bubba” that he thought would have been over 80 pounds but lost the fish after 15 minutes. Snapper and grouper have been active as well with some decent grouper hitting the decks and a scattering of dog-tooth snapper joining them. Toss in some Dorado and Bonito and the action for anglers working inshore was steady, if not wide open.
FISH RECIPE: My recipe has been taking too much space so if you want to see it, check out my wordpress blog a little later in the week, or subscribe to the blog and you will receive an email as soon as I post it. This week I actually will be posting one since we finally got some Tuna to take home, a very nice piece from the 169 pound fish!
NOTES: This report is done early so we can get in our Sunday morning beach trip with the dog, get home for breakfast and then downtown to watch the early game. Go Seahawks (hope our new quarterback does better this week or he has to go). This weeks report was written to the music of Darius Rucker on a compilation disc given to me by a client. Thanks Steve!
Until next week, tight lines!

Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
September 18, 2011
Now at the midpoint of the month of September, the Eastern Pacific remains calm, no
tropical storm forming at this time. Ocean temperatures are ranging from 80 degrees
off of the Pacific Banks up to 88 degrees in the direction of Los Frailes. With the
officially end of summer one week off, there is now a feeling of fall during the
early morning hours, though days have continued to be warm and humid.
Sportfishing fleet are now spread out over the offshore fishing grounds, with the
majority of the more consistent action being found in the direction of the Gordo
Banks and north from there. San Jose del Cabo anglers relied on sardinas as the main
bait source, as well as the plentiful skipjack on the fishing grounds. Other bait
options included limited supplies chihuil, moonfish and caballito.
The Gordo Banks has come alive with larger sized yellowfin tuna, these fish are
hitting exclusively on bait, with chunks of fresh skipjack being the best bet in
recent days. Fish in the 100 to 200 pound or larger class have been hooked daily, no
huge numbers, but definitely quality. Charter crews are chumming heavily with cut
skipjack and sardinas to get the tuna up in a feeding mood. Cow sized yellowfin tuna
were seen coming right to the surface feeding and anglers were taking strikes on
lines as heavy as 100 lb. Slow trolling with larger live baits also resulted in hook
ups. Many stories of extended battles with larger fish were told, at least several
yellowfin over 200 pounds were reportedly landed, with other big fish lost.
There were yellowfin tuna spread through the area, over the recent full moon phase
these fish were not as cooperative, but with persistence anglers did account for
some impressive catches. There were reports of good dorado action found out of La
Paz, but in the Los Cabos area dorado counts have been low, with mostly smaller size
do do’s encountered, only an occasional larger bulls being reported, no particular
area.
Options have been somewhat limited, no inshore action at this time, all offshore on
the structure, main target species being the yellowfin tuna, a mix of bottom
species, but no consistency for dogtooth, amberjack or grouper, only a few missed
wahoo strikes reported and billfishing is hit or miss, no numbers, but a chance at
hooking into a big black or blue, one 532 lb. black marlin was weighed in recent
days out of La Playita, the black hit on a live skipjack midway between the Inner
and Outer Gordo Banks.
La Plaita locals have been spending time fishing off the panga docks and have
accounted for a handful of snook, weighing up to 40 pounds, drift fishing with live
moonfish, also some nice roosterfish hooked in the same area, only area locally
where roosters are seen feeding, the higher tides have produced more bait fish
activity in the marina channel.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 59 charters for this past week, with anglers accounting for a fish
count of: 2 black marlin, 6 sailfish, 25 dorado, 97 yellowfin tuna, 22 bonito, 4
rainbow runner, 15 cabrilla, 7 dogtooth snapper, 26 pargo, 1 yellowtail and 7
amberjack..

Endless Season Update Wednesday,
September 17, 2011
REPORT #1263 'Below the Border'
Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Tuna, atún, tuńczyk. . .in any language
these fish are practically chewing the
paint off the bottom of the boats. Every
report from East Cape is filled with
sweaty ,casually-clothed anglers wearing
big smiles commensurate with the size of
the tuna.
Traditionally, September is a slow
month because of the propensity of
Chubasos to show up unexpectedly. This
year, throughout the summer every month
has looked like September at all the
hotels as far as the number of guests
and anglers is concerned.
Clearly the tuna are impervious to the
bad economy and in terms of quantity and
quality, tuna fishing is as good as it
gets right now. Meanwhile dorado are
showing up more in the catches each day
with the largest in the forty-pound
class. And though not drawing as much
attention, the billfish action for
blues, sails and stripers has been
picking up as well.
Last but not least, the roosterfish bite
has gone on almost all summer.
Regardless of your tackle choice,
conventional, spinning or fly, there are
enough challenges and personal bests to
satisfy both newcomers and seasoned
veterans.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
Fishing continues to improve after a bit
of unsettled conditions. Large dorado
and the early appearance of marlin have
the few anglers who are fishing
excited. Fish are in 85° water just a
few miles outside Boca Soledad. My son
released two and had more follows in the
area.
Out at the Thetis, wahoo have been
sporadically good recently. . .just not
in the concentrations that were here
last year. …Bob Hoyt

Cabo San Lucas
There are plenty of striped marlin being
seen but not all of them are hungry.
Just getting one released has been a
reason for celebration for most anglers.
Some blacks are beginning to show up off
the Gordo Banks and the Punta Gordo area
and there have been blue marlin
attacking lures both south of Cabo and
around the warm water plume on the
Pacific side. Most of these larger fish
have been in the 200- to 300-pound
class. Lures have been best to use on
the blue marlin and the black marlin
really like slow-trolled live skipjack.
Strangely enough, yellowfin tuna have
remained our top reported fish. I mean
that because we have been seeing purse
seiners setting on schools out here, and
we are still catching nice tuna, in
spite of them! There have been some very
nice-sized fish reported from the area
of the Finger Banks, but that is a long
haul for the fleet guys on a fingers-
crossed trip when there is good fishing
closer to home. Boats fishing the
Pacific side have been catching fish
ranging from 10 to 100 pounds with most
of them in the 20- to 30-pound class
while trolling cedar plugs and feathers
around porpoise and dolphin. The larger
fish have been hooked on slow-trolled
live bait dropped-back after hooking up
to a trolled fish, but the very largest
fish have been taken while fishing under
a kite. We had clients this week who
caught five yellowfin between 30 and 60
pounds and several smaller ones, the
larger fish all coming from using the
kite. Other boats working a bit farther
out to the south reported larger fish
over 100 pounds coming from under a
kite.
Plenty of dorado to be caught, you just
had to be fishing the right areas to get
them. Almost all the big numbers were
found within two miles of the beach on
the Pacific side up past the Arcos area.
Big numbers do not mean big fish though
as most of these fish were in the 10-
pound class along with a few much
smaller ones. The larger fish were
found scattered farther offshore. Boats
that did well on the larger fish were
looking for feeding frigate birds and
running to them, tossing out live bait
and slow trolling the area. Also,
almost anything you found floating this
week was likely to have fish under it.
A few boats were able to get into small
groups averaging 25 pounds and catching
three or four for the fish box.
Some roosterfish as well as a scattering
of snapper and grouper have kept most
inshore anglers a little busy, but with
the water conditions the way they are
most of the pangas are going offshore
looking for the larger dorado and some
of those great yellowfin tuna…George and

Cabo Fish Report
Sept. 5-11, 2011
WEATHER: We had a hot week here in Cabo as our daytime highs were in the mid to high 90's and the nighttime lows only got down to 85 degrees. Our cloud cover varied as weather from the mainland appeared intermittently, ever few days a new cloud deck comes over and we get a bit muggy for a day. No rain here in town this week, but I bet there was some up in the mountains!
WATER: After a strange change in the water temperatures last week, we are back to about what we expect for this time of year. On the Sea of Cortez the water is a very consistent 88 degrees while the Pacific side as a band of cold water along the beach that reads as 83 degrees. The warm 88 degree water from the Cortez side has a finger running up the Pacific side across the San Jaime Bank and up to the western edge of the Golden Gate Bank. This finer of warm water extends out to almost the 1,000 fathom line, then the temperature drops to 83 degrees again. This week the swells have been small and the winds light so the fishing conditions have been fantastic!
BAIT: Caballito, Mullet and Sardines were the live bait available with the bigger baits at the usual $3 each and the Sardinas at $25 a scoop up in the Palmilla area.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: There are plenty of Striped Marlin being seen but not all of them have been hungry. A few boats have tossed baits to as many as 8 fish per trip and have been lucky to get three hooked up and released, for most boats just getting one released has been a reason for celebration. As far as the larger Marlin go, some Blacks are beginning to show up off the Gorda Banks and the Punta Gorda area and there have been Blue Marlin attacking lures both to the south of Cabo and around the warm water plume on the Pacific side. Most of these larger fish a=have been in the 200-300 pound class, but there have been reports of some in the magic 300 category as well. Lures have been the best stuff to use on the Blue Marlin and the Black Marlin really like slow trolled live Skipjack.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Strangely enough, Yellowfin Tuna have remained our fish of the week. I mean that because we have been seeing Purse Seiners setting on schools out here, and we are still catching some nice Tuna, in spite of them. There have been some very nice fish reported from the area of the Finger Banks, but that is a long haul for the fleet guys on a fingers crossed trip when there is good fishing closer to home. Boats fishing the Pacific side have been catching fish ranging from 10 to 100 pounds with most of them in the 20-30 pound class while trolling cedar plugs and feathers around porpoise and dolphin. The larger fish have been hooked on slow trolled live bait and live bait dropped back after hooking up to a trolled fish, but the very largest fish have been taken while fishing under a kite. We had clients this week who caught 5 Yellowfin between 30 and 60 pounds and several small one, the larger fish all coming from using the kite. Other boats working a bit farther out to the south reported larger fish over 100 pounds coming from under a kite.
DORADO: The Dorado bite did not change this week as there were still plenty of fish to be caught, you just had to be fishing the right areas get them. Almost all the big numbers were found within 2 miles of the beach on the Pacific side up past the Arcos area. Big numbers do not mean big fish though as most of these Dorado were in the 10 pound class with a few much smaller as well. The larger fish were found farther offshore, but were scattered, no concentrated, Boats that did well on the larger fish were looking for feeding frigate birds and running to them, tossing out live bait and slow trolling the area. Also, almost anything you found floating this week was likely to have fish under it. A few boats were able to get into small groups of Dorado averaging 25 pounds and catching 3 or 4 for the fish box.
WAHOO: Once again I did not hear of any Wahoo, but we are approaching the full moon and it is the right time of year, so I expect that to change this week.
INSHORE: Some Roosterfish as well as a scattering of Snapper and Grouper have kept most inshore anglers a little busy, but with the water conditions the way they are most of the Pangas are going offshore looking for the larger Dorado and some of those great Yellowfin Tuna.
FISH RECIPE: My recipe has been taking too much space so if you want to see it, check out my wordpress blog a little later in the week, or subscribe to the blog and you will receive an email as soon as I post it. This week I actually will be posting one since we finally got some Tuna to take home, a very nice piece from the 169 pound fish!
NOTES: I love having fresh Tuna to eat, yesterday I fixed some sushi and we pigged out, even the dog had some! Hopefully having the Tuna here is a situation that will stay the same for the next few months, it sure would be nice if they stayed in our area for the Tuna Tournament in November! This weeks report was written to the sound of techno-dancer music blasting from a neighbors outdoor speakers a block away, some kind of rave going on for the last two days. Noise pollution when it is that loud in a residential area! Oh well, it's off to the beach with the wife and puppy, home for a good breakfast and then a good sit down for a Sunday of football!! Don't forget all the victims of the terrorist act of 9/11 in your prayers today.
Until next week, tight lines!

San Jose del Cabo
September 11, 2011
Light crowds now, always seems to be the same situation this time of year, with kids
back in school and summer winding down, people are staying closer to home. Just
around the corner is the busy fall season and we are anticipating a great turn out.
There are no tropical storms developing at this time, but it is the time of year
where we monitor forecasts closely. Mostly sunny days now, with high humidity, some
scattered cloud cover and light variable winds. Water temperatures are ranging from
85 to 89 degrees, larger swell conditions earlier in the week have weakened, though
there have been swift currents sweeping through certain areas. Supplies of sardinas
have continued to be schooling around the Puerto Los Cabos jetties, pangeros are
working hard at first light to net sufficient supplies for the local fleets. There
has also been a mix of larger baitfish available.
Anglers were finding the best success for yellowfin tuna while drift fishing with
sardinas over the grounds of La Fortuna, Iman and San Luis Banks. Lots of yellowfin
tuna could be seen breezing the surface, but they proved to be more finicky in
recent days, average catches ranging from one or two, up to four or five per
charter. Sizes were mostly in the 20 to 40 pound class, though there were a handful
of tuna accounted by the local panga fleets that were in the 100 to 170 pound class.
Larger tuna were seen on the Gordo Banks, but these fish proved even more elusive
than fish on the Iman and San Luis. Tuna acquire a taste for the particular food
source than is naturally present on the fishing grounds and at times it can be hard
to entice them with anything else.
Dorado action was found mixed in where the tuna and of course lots of skipjack were
present, most of the dorado encountered were juvenile, under 10 pounds, only a few
larger specimens reported. A few more sailfish found in recent days, also an
occasional story of a blue or black marlin battle.
Other action included limited numbers of amberjack and dogtooth snapper, strong
currents made this action not so easy. Larger live baits such as caballito or
moonfish worked over structure, with La Fortuna being one of the more productive
spots. Only a couple of incidental wahoo were being accounted for by the combined
fleet for in past weeks, these fish become less active in the warmer waters, which
have ranged now close to 90 degrees.
Local surf anglers reported some roosterfish action near the marina channel, as well
as several very large snook, these guys put in some long hours targeting these
prized gamefish, recently the mid day high tide produced more hook ups.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 47 charters for the week, with anglers accounting for a fish count
of: 1 blue marlin, 2 striped marlin, 9 sailfish, 10 amberjack, 9 dogtooth snapper,
15 cabrilla, 45 dorado, 118 yellowfin tuna, 28 bonito, 8 rainbow runners, 9 barred
pargo and 20 triggerfish

JUST FOR KICKS
For another week yellowfin tuna stole the show on
the East Cape. Just a few billfish and dorado have
been landed this week while most boats are
returning from a days fishing with fish lockers full
of tuna. Porpoise schools holding huge schools of
yellowfin have moved closer to shore and have not
been hard to find 10 to 25 miles from the beach
between Punta Perico and Punta Arena Light house.
An occational sailfish or marlin are showing in the
porpoise but for the most part it is tuna, tuna and
more tuna. Most fish are 30 to 40 pounds with a
larger model to 100 surpising anglers once in a
while.
After 5 days on the beach working on gear and
doing maintainance I couldn't stand it any more.
With no charters this week I grabbed our crew and
said let's go have some fun. We didn't get 10 miles
off shore before sighting a school of spotted
dolphin. We didn't have time to get all of our
trolling lines in the water when clickers started
singing. It didn't take long and we had all the tuna
we needed.
When a few other boats showed the tuna became a
little more finicky and the bite slowed a bit. Just for
kicks I pulled out my Accruate SR12 spinning reel.
Being able to cast a tiny live sardine a long way was
all it took. BENDO! Loaded with 40# it is amazing
how much heat that little spinner will allow you to
put on a fish.
We spread the wealth to our gardner, maid,
accountant, diesel mechanic, trash man and
neighbors

Cabo Fish Report
August 29-Sept. 4, 2011
WEATHER: Once again we had partly cloudy skies most of the week. It seems very strange to have this happen so many weeks in a row without having a hurricane threat. These cloudy days have been a result of weather moving in from the mainland of Mexico. What they have brought us has been a slight lowering of temperature and rain in the mountains. Our highs this week were in the mid 90's and our lows got down to 81 degrees!
WATER: Gorda Banks had a 10 degree drop in water temperature this week as on August 31 it was showing 89 degrees at 3pm, on Sept 3rd we had 78 degrees at 3 am. On the Pacific side it seems that the water temperatures have remained at 78-80 degrees since the beginning of September while they were about 4 degrees higher at the end of August. That is how the could cover we have had can affect the surface temperatures! We have had afternoon winds from the northwest on most days and the swells have slowly increased in size since the beginning of the month. As of today we were having 5-7 foot swells reported from the Pacific side and 3-6 feet on the Cortez side.
BAIT: Caballito and Mullet were the baits of the week with no Mackerel being found due to the warm waters. Everything was the normal $3 per bait. There were also some decent Sardinas to the north around Palmilla at $25 a scoop but the size of the swells made getting them an iffy proposition.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Still the best side of the Cape for the Striped Marlin, the Pacific coastline out to 5 miles had scattered tailing fish reported. No large concentrations were found, but there were enough fish out there that almost everyone had a chance to hook up. There were Blue Marlin to be found as well, a few of our clients this week managed to get releases on fish to approximately 250 pounds. Most of the Blue Marlin were found due south and along the Jaime-Golden Ridge. Lures worked well on the Blues while as usual, live bait worked slightly better on the Striped Marlin. I did hear of a couple of small Black Marlin being caught up toward the Punta Gorda area.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Still on and off, when it is on it is very, very good! Of course you have to go through a day of bad fishing sometimes, but this week most of the days were good days. Almost all the fish for the fleet boats were found to the south and the west. The area due south known locally as the “Herradura” had some nice fish averaging 30 pounds. There were fish to 60 and 70 pounds there as well but the average was around 30. You had to find the porpoise, and had to be one of the early boats, but the fish bit well. Lures were working, cedar plugs and small plastic headed lures in dark colors. The cloud cover helped in the fishing as the Yellowfin stayed up longer. Farther to the north, up in the area of the Golden Gate there were some larger fish, we had one client group that got a very nice one that weighed at 169 pounds. That fish struck a lure as well, but there was a Purse Seiner working the area as well, so who knows how long that group of fish had left.
DORADO: Just like last week anglers were getting as many Dorado as they wanted if they worked the the pacific shoreline north of the Golden Gate. Most of them were small but there were quite a few that were in the 15 pound class. Shark buoys to the south of the Golden Gate held some nice fish as well. We did not have fishing quite as hot and heavy as a few weeks back, but like I said in last weeks report, the average size seems to be increasing.
WAHOO: I did not hear of any Wahoo being caught this week, but I am sure there were a few.
INSHORE: On and off fishing was the word for inshore fishing this week. The swells and afternoon winds kept a lot of the Pangas off the beach and instead they were working a few miles out looking for Dorado and Tuna with an occasional Marlin to get anglers excited.
FISH RECIPE: My recipe has been taking too much space so if you want to see it, check out my wordpress blog a little later in the week, or subscribe to the blog and you will receive an email as soon as I post it. This week I actually will be posting one since we finally got some Tuna to take home, a very nice piece from the 169 pound fish!
NOTES: It was nice to see the Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna show themselves again. After a sparse couple of weeks where you could get some nice fish, but no numbers, anglers were having a lot of fun with numbers of fish. Just a quick reminder, most boats carry some ice, but if you are going after Tuna, make sure there is plenty on board, you may have to purchase more just in case! This week the report was written to the sounds of my dog snoring at my feet and Jack Johnson on the CD player.
Until next week, tight lines!
I will be posting more to my blog now, please go to http://captgeo.wordpress.com/ and subscribe, you will be sent a notice every time I post a new article. Please feel free to send suggestions or if you have any ideas for articles. Thanks George
