San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
April 24, 2016
Weather patterns have settled down, more like the normal spring season we
are used to, last week we had a couple of days where the wind was gusting
over 25 mph from the north, now we are seeing much calmer days, breezes
switching out of the south, mainly later in the afternoon. Anglers have
been enjoying very comfortable seas in recent days, very slight swells,
clear sunny skies, warmer days, highs in the upper 80s. We are expected a
bit more wind over the weekend. Ocean water temperatures are ranging from
73 to 76 degrees. Warmer currents being found in the direction of San Jose
del Cabo and to the north.
The fishing grounds straight out from Puerto Los Cabos Marina, from 3 to 4
miles from shore, are holding concentrations of baitfish, namely
sardinetas, this has attracted good numbers of striped marlin and fleets
from as far as Cabo San Lucas are all now working these grounds, common to
see over fifty charter boats on the spot. The main technique anglers are
having success on is by drift fishing and soaking baits such as caballito,
cocinero or sardineta at various depths. The striped marlin are now
averaging in the 90 to 130 lb. range, many charters are accounted for one,
two or three billfish per morning. This area is within very easy range for
even the smallest of crafts, you could easily catch a marlin from a kayak
at this time.
On the grounds from Punta Gorda to Vinorama we have seen increased activity
by the elusive wahoo. Apparently the combined factors of warming clear blue
water, favorable moon phase and baitfish activity, these fish were more
aggressive. We saw some charters land as many as three wahoo, reported to
lose again as many strikes. These wahoo ranged in sizes from 15 lb. up to a
whopping 76 lb. fish landed on Friday, there was also another 65 lb. wahoo
reported. These fish were striking on rigged ballyhoo, sardineta and
various trolling lures, Rapalas and skirted lead heads.
We are still not seeing many dorado at all, though with the favorable
conditions, these gamefish could move into local waters in greater numbers
at any time. Yellowfin tuna has been very spotty, though some tuna in the
25 to 35 lb. class are being found on the Iman to Vinorama grounds, in fact
we did hear of one 100 lb. class yellowfin accounted for as well, hooked on
light leader, turned into an extended battle. Anglers were fortunate to
land a couple of these fish, some charters that really were lucky to be at
the right spot, landed three or four of these quality yellowfin. These tuna
were being hooked while drift fishing with strips of squid, lighter leaders
being more successful. This has been the main technique since past October,
when was the last time we had any supply of sardinas.
A few more sierra being mixed in with the counts, some of them larger than
normal, hanging on the same grounds as were the wahoo. Inshore some
charters reported finding roosterfish and jack crevalle, this action should
become more consistent now with the warming conditions.
The bottom action produced more triggerfish than anything else, also a mix
of snapper species, cabrilla and a few amberjack. We are hoping to see more
of the larger amberjack move in, it is that time of year and conditions are
ripe now for this structure fishing to start being more productive for
larger specimens. Finally some calmer conditions, this will open up quite a
few more options.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 69 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 38 striped marlin, 19 wahoo, 24 yellowfin tuna,
5 dorado, 7 amberjack, 14 cabrilla, 46 various pargo/snapper species, 21
sierra, 4 jack crevalle, 14 roosterfish, 12 bonito and 80 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
