Tip&Trick Description 1:
Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

San Jose del Cabo
August 25, 2013
Anglers –
For the past couple of weeks the weather was relatively calm, hot and
humid, with some afternoon breezes. At this time we are bracing for a
weekend of thunderstorms, forecasters predict rainfall of six inches
possible over the Southern Baja. High swells to 15 feet, with winds of 30
knots will shut down sportfishing operations through the weekend. This
storm, now named Tropical Storm IVO, is predicted to follow a path well to
the west of the Baja Peninsula, the system is expansive, several separate
areas of disturbance are joining forces, slow moving and holding a lot of
moisture.
Ocean conditions had settled, we enjoyed calm weather patterns, offshore
fishing action was improving steadily. Dorado were the most common catch,
with large schools of smaller grade fish now present, there were still some
nicer bull dorado to 30 pounds or more accounted for, lot of juveniles to
deal with, these should be released to mature and reproduce, dorado are one
of the fastest growing species, studies say they grow five pounds per
month. Best practice is to release all of the smaller dorado and if
interested in capturing your limit of two dorado for personally
consumption, choose a pair of the larger catches. Anglers have been finding
easy limits for dorado, anglers found these fish from within one mile of
shore, to the offshore grounds, these gamefish have been readily striking a
wide variety of trolled lures and baits.
Football sized yellowfin tuna have been consistently found in recent weeks,
these fish were found closer to shore and not associated with porpoise,
schooling on the Iman and San Luis Banks, as well on the Gordo Banks, mixed
in with skipjack, finicky to bite at times, striking on strips of squid and
trolled hoochies, anglers were fortunate to land several of these small
tuna, some anglers did find fast limits. On Tuesday, Gordo Banks Pangas
skipper Chame Pino, with angler Dave Martin, visiting from Colorado, while
trolling a live bolito on the San Luis Bank hooked into what would be the
season’s first La Playita Cow Tuna. While using 80 pound tackle, Dave and
Chame teamed to subdue this giant tuna in under two and a half hours..
Commercial pangeros targeting huachinango on this these same grounds had
reported that they had seen large tuna feeding on these grounds the
previous afternoon, apparently the larger grade yellowfin are now moving
into the area, right on schedule.
Billfish action has been steady, lots of striped marlin, some sailfish and
good numbers of larger sized blue marlin were reported, many blues were
caught and released from anglers on sportfishers. A group of local La
Playita pangeros teamed up to land a black marlin that was estimated at
easily over 500 lb., hooked while trolling a small yellowfin tuna on the
Gordo Banks. The season is showing encouraging prospects for an excellent
fall season to come. Wahoo were also more active this past week, despite
warm water temperatures near 85 degrees, wahoo to 50 pounds were landed
while trolling the blue water ledges, no great numbers, but good for this
time of year.
No inshore action now, a few late season roosterfish by the PLC Marina
entrance, bottom bite was off due to the persistent strong currents. Red
snapper (huachinango are being found in good numbers by the commercial
fleet, they have been anchoring on deeper areas and using cut squid. Giant
squid are being found in big numbers off of the Los Frailes and East Cape
area, small sized giants, under two feet in length, same food source that
attracts big fish.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 65 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 2 blue marlin, 1 black marlin, 23 striped
marlin, 6 sailfish, 115 yellowfin tuna, 250 dorado, 13 wahoo,
16 roosterfish, 38 huachinango (red snapper) and 7 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
