Anglers -
Another wave of Spring Break vacationers are arriving in Los Cabos and everyone is
enjoying perfect weather conditions, lows in the 60, highs in the low 80s, clear
sunny skies, moderate swells and warming ocean temperatures, what else could a
person ask for? Past weekend there was a heavy south blow, pushed in cooler waters
from the Pacific, but these conditions quickly rebound as winds subsided and average
ocean temperatures are now in the 70/72 degree range on the Pacific side of Cabo San
Lucas and in the direction of San Jose del Cabo we are seeing warmer 74/76 degree
currents.
This big southern blow last Sunday contributed to the large concentrations of
striped marlin moving from the Pacific grounds to area just outside the Gordo Banks.
Previously the billfish action had been very scattered in this area, but all of
sudden the bite broke wide open, fleets from all local ports were congregating on
these grounds. Striped marlin were found in big numbers, many charters having more
than a half dozen strikes per trip, Multiple marlin per boat was common. The
stripers were readily striking trolled lures, ballyhoo, others were seen tailing on
the surface and would take live caballito, also anglers did well drift fishing
deeper baits. Quite a few thrasher sharks in this area, many were hooked while
drifting baits, most of these were lost, very powerful fish, they head straight down
and use their extended long tail to their advantage.
Doardo numbers were limited, though some of these gamefish are being encountered
each day, at times very close to shore, sizes range 5 to 20 lb. No particular hot
spot to find these fish now. Wahoo were sighted free swimming on the popular local
grounds, though only a handful were actually hooked into. One wahoo in the 80 lb.
class was landed, hooked into on the same grounds as were the striped marlin.
Yellowfin tuna were seen breezing at times near Iman to San Luis Banks, but only a
few of these 15 to 25 pound tuna were hooked into, either on live caballito or on
yo-yo jigs while jigging off of the rocky structure, where the main catch has been
for Eastern Pacific Bonito.
The much talked about red snapper bite that occurred last red, as a result of the
red crab bloom, this action dissipated quickly as the red crustaceans no longer were
found drifting to the surface in masses, as during the previous week. So snapper
catches were spotty, an occasional amberjack, cabrilla, grouper or yellowtail were
accounted for off the various rocky high spots. The San Luis Banks, as well as times
on the Gordo Banks, produced great action for the local good eating variety of
bonito, ranging 4 to 10 pounds, these toothy speedsters are fun sport on light
tackle.
Along the inshore beach stretches, sierra, jack crevalle were found in certain
areas. Good numbers of roosterfish, up to about 12 pounds, were being found the
first couple of miles towards the north of Puerto Los Cabos Marina jetty entrance.
Sierra were more scattered, still no sardinas being found locally, caballito has
been the steady bait source recently.
Getting to be late season now, though there are still lots of a whales being sighted
in larger sized pods, these mammals are going to be starting their northerly
migration soon. Sea lions are becoming more of a nuisance on the local snapper
grounds, wanting to catch their share of the tasty red snapper, always easier grab
hold of when the fish is trapped on a fishing line.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 104 charters for this past week, with anglers accounting for a
fish count of: 2 thrasher shark, 82 striped marlin, 4 wahoo, 6 yellowfin tuna, 4
yellowtail, 26 amberjack, 480 bonito, 14 jack crevalle, 12 sierra, 26 dorado, 110
roosterfish, 14 cabrilla, 72 red snapper (huachinango) and misc. pargo..
Good fishing, Eric
