San Jose del Cabo

Anglers -
With freezing conditions persisting throughout much of the United
States we have seen more crowds of tourists arriving in Los Cabos.
Travelers have been greeted with pristine winter time weather
conditions, sunny days, with high temperatures close to 80 degrees.
Winds continued to be a bit unpredictable, at times from the north,
switching out of the south, though they were moderate and anglers
found great ocean conditions most days.
Ocean temperatures ranged from 70 to 76 degrees, higher than normal
for this month, clarity was clean, even very close to shore. Baitfish
have been scattered, no live sardinas, few mackerel or caballito, with
ballyhoo proving to be one of the better trolling baits and as another
option there were also a mix of jacks and moonfish being used.
Depending on what fishing grounds anglers targeted, there was a
variety of species being found. Striped marlin were now shifting in
the direction of the San Jose del Cabo grounds, from the 1150 spot, to
off of the hotel zone and towards Punta Gorda, some success was found
trolling lures, casting baits to tailing fish and soaking baits down
deep, the striped marlin especially were attracted to moonfish this
past week, it was more productive early in the week, later in the week
the full moon seemed to affect the bite, fish were more finicky..
For the local panga fleet, the most productive action was found within
a couple of miles of shore, from right off Punta Gorda, to Cardon and
La Fortuna. Dorado and wahoo were the main species striking, ballyhoo,
moonfish, jacks, rapalas and even casting jigs. This seemed more like
fall action, crazy to see this type of action in mid February, it
doesn't happen every year, with water temperatures holding higher than
normal and the clarity of the water, these fish have decided to hang
around and not migrate to southern waters, at least for the time
being. There were more numbers of dorado caught than wahoo, though on
Thursday and Friday many boats did have multiple wahoo days, one
charter had eight wahoo on Friday. Sizes ranged up to 40 pounds. Hard
to say how long this action will last, would be something if this
lasted throughout the month and into March.
Not much action off the bottom, strong currents and warmer water
temperatures have been more suited for surface action. A few
yellowtail were reported, no pargo bite at this time. Sierra have
dominated inshore action, though dorado are being found very close to
shore as well, there were large concentrations of half beaks
(ballyhoo) moving along the beaches areas, this can bring gamefish
very close in. A few jack crevalle and smaller sized roosterfish in
the mix.
Still peak season for whale activity, though with waters warming,
these mammals will most likely start migrating north soon.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 90 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
18 striped marlin, 37 wahoo, 8 yellowfin tuna, 3 yellowtail, 48
bonito, 18 jack crevalle, 68 sierra, 265 dorado,18 roosterfish and 12
cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
