San Jose del Cabo
April 14, 2013
Anglers –
As the spring break season has now come to an end and schools are all back
in session, we have seen lighter crowds of tourists compared to previous
weeks. Weather patterns continue to be unpredictable, changing rapidly,
winds were now more predominate out of the south and actually gusts were so
strong that port authorities decided to close the Cabo San Lucas Marina for
a couple of days earlier in the week. Currents were pushing in warmer
waters, then reversing and bringing back in cooler Pacific waters once
again. At this time local ocean temperatures are ranging 68 to 71 degrees,
actually warmer water was found closer to shore in recent days off of San
Jose del Cabo and outside of three miles cooler water temperatures were
present. Of course this pattern will surely switch around just as fast as
it developed.
The up and down changing conditions has scattered fishing action some, the
great striped marlin action slowed down to just a few fish here and there,
some feeding marlin were found off of the La Laguna and Punta Gorda area,
within several miles of shore, nice sized stripers up to 150 pounds. So far
this season we have seen quality sized striped marlin, many of them in the
120 to 150 lb. class. We do expect to see the billfish action improve once
again as conditions stabilize and the warming trend returns. Baitfish
remain plentiful, more caballito now than mackerel, also some bolito,
skipack and chiuil on the fishing grounds. For the past couple of weeks
there have not been any sardinas available, this is because the schools are
congregating along beaches far to the north, out of normal range for the
commercial fleet.
No yellowfin tuna action was being reported locally, the La Paz fleet did
report seeing yellowfin in the 50 to 100 pound class near Cerralvo Island,
but few of these fish were hooked into, apparently too many skipjack were
competing for the same baits. They also had a big bite on wahoo this past
week, while off of the San Jose grounds there have been few wahoo in the
counts, normally there is a time frame near the later part of April where
the wahoo become more active on the grounds from the Gordo Banks towards
San Luis, we have seen a taste of this and are anticipating more in the
coming weeks.
Along the shoreline the juvenile roosterfish action continued, a few of
these fish are now up to 15/20 pounds, though the majority are smaller
sized. Sierra and jack crevalle are also being found in the same areas, as
are a few roaming dorado, actually more dorado were found close to shore
this week, than were found offshore, dorado always seems to go where more
bait schools are congregated.
The bottom action was not as consistent as we would expect for this time of
year, mixed success was reported on species such as pargo, amberjack,
yellowtail and bonito. More of these bonito are appearing over the
structure, bottom spot areas, they seem to prefer cooler waters, these are
a good eating variety of bonito, not the same as found in So. Calif., they
have been readily striking on smaller sized raplalas and are ranging in
sizes up to ten pounds, similar fillets as found on small yellowfin tuna,
sushi quality.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 82 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 1 sailfish, 4 wahoo, 28 striped marlin, 29
dorado, 9 amberjack, 14 yellowtail, 16 sierra, 165 bonito,22 huachinango,
15 cabrilla, 124 roosterfish and 5 mako shark.
Good Fishing, Eric
