San Jose del Cabo
October 13, 2013
Anglers –
Scores of anglers continue to arrive in Los Cabos, anticipation is high, as
this is always the most popular season for a variety of gamefish and
weather conditions are ideal. Skies have been clear, plenty of warm
sunshine, highs of about 90 degrees. Early mornings now have a fall chill
to them, winds were increasingly unpredictable this week, at times blowing
hard from the south, then the next day from the north, this pattern limited
where sportfishing charters could comfortably fish, though for the most
part ocean conditions were pleasant. Water temperatures are still about 85
degrees in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, Pacific waters are slightly
cooler. Strong currents have persisted, though have slacked at given times,
blue water is now found closer to shore, though choppy conditions for a few
days stirred the visibility up a bit.
The bait situation has been limited to purchasing fresh dead squid from
vendors at the dock area, some live caballito and other small jacks
available after launching, no reports of finding new sources of sardinas, a
few rumors being spread that so and so netted some of these baitfish
somewhere, though definitely not found in any quantity to support the local
fishing fleet at this time, makes us wonder if this will be the season we
do not even see sardinas until winter time, migration patterns can be
altered, maybe this is what has happened, this is normally the time when we
would find schools of sardinas holding along inshore rocky beach stretches.
Panga fleets encountered the most consistent action on the fishing grounds
from Iman, San Luis and north to Vinorama. This is where the majority of
charters are concentrating; even the fleets from the East Cape are making
the long run south to get into the action. Using strips of squid while
drift fishing over the banks have produced good numbers of yellowfin tuna
in the 8 to 15 lb. range, at times a larger grade of tuna to over 20 pounds
were located. Dicing squid into small pieces for chumming the fish to the
surface has been the ticket, at times this has also been attracting dorado,
wahoo and even sailfish or striped marlin. Everyday there have been reports
of wahoo landed by chance on the strips of squid on monofilament, though
anglers specifically targeting wahoo with lures or larger baitfish, rigged
on wire leaders have not been reporting much at all, at least this is what
is reported out of San Jose del Cabo, there were additional reports of
wahoo being hooked off of Cabo San Lucas grounds while trolling open
waters, same areas where good numbers of dorado are being accounted for,
though not much tuna action being reported out of Cab San Lucas.
Only a few reports of larger yellowfin tuna being hooked into on the Gordo
Banks, these fish are still holding on the banks, though have not shown in
any significant numbers yet this season, nevertheless this is the spot
where many top teams will be concentrating on during the tournaments.
Recent trend for taking a strike from a large tuna, has been while trolling
larger baitfish such as bolito or skipjack, these baitfish are schooling on
the same banks, though can be finicky to catch at times.
Not that much bottom action being reported, strong currents and limited
results has seen more charters targeting the available surface species. A
handful of nice red snapper (huachinango) were taken on yo-yo jigs, as well
as a few amberjack, rainbow runners, bonito, cabrilla, grouper, pompano and
even one nice roosterfish hooked off the bottom on the Iman Bank.
Billfish action has been spread out, no particular hot spot, sailfish and
striped marlin are being hooked into on the same grounds where the
schooling yellowfin are, a few reports of strikes on larger trolled baits,
the same football sized tuna work ideal for trolling for black and blue
marlin, though we have not seen any significant numbers of the larger
marlin. Surely the main concentrations of stripers are now congregating
near Magdalena Bay.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 182 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 3 roosterfish, 2 pompano, 11 striped
marlin, 15 sailfish,1 black marlin,14 wahoo, 28 bonito, 8 amberjack,10
rainbow runner, 4 dogtooth snapper, 32 huachinango, 11 grouper, 910
yellowfin tuna and 195 dorado.
Good fishing, Eric
