San Jose del Cabo
February 2, 2014
Anglers -
Crowds of visiting tourists are arriving in the Los Cabos Resort area,
looking to escape the frigid temperatures spread across northern
territories. Local weather conditions have been very pleasant,
scattered morning cloud cover, with plenty of warm afternoon sunshine,
lows of about 60 degrees, with highs in the 75 to 80 degree range. The
persistent northerly winds have tapered off some, not as strong as in
previous weeks. This is now peak season for spotting whales in local
waters, with common daily sightings of both gray and humpback whales.
Ocean clarity has been very clean close to shore, in the direction of
the East Cape the conditions are a bit more off colored due to
northern winds, but from La Fortuna to Cabo San Lucas the clarity has
been great for this time of year. Water temperatures varied from about
70 degree around the corner on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, to
74 degrees on the outside of San Jose del Cabo, inshore grounds
through this same stretch was averaged about 72 degrees. Live bait
situation is still lacking, though there has been various other
options available, including ballyhoo, moonfish, skipjack for strip
bait, brined dead sardinas, etc...
Anglers were finding a variety of species, from sierra, dorado
inshore, with striped marlin and yellowfin tuna found further
offshore. The tuna being accounted for have mainly been encountered
twenty or more miles offshore of Cabo San Lucas and have been football
sized fish striking on hoochies , feathers and cedar plugs. More
sierra are now showing up throughout the area, some much larger sierra
were found on the Pacific, medium sized fish now becoming more common
in the direction of the Sea of Cortez. Trolling rapalas, hoochies and
drifting with cut baits have worked well for these scrappy fighters.
Out of San Jose del Cabo the most common catches recently have been
for dorado and bonito, these fish were striking various lures and
baits. Most of the dorado found were in the 5 to 15 lb. class. The
Eastern Pacific Bonito is a somewhat rare species, a member of the
tuna family with limited range, normally preferring the cooler winter
months, good eating fish with light colored flesh, very popular for
use in local machaca dishes. Average sizes usually are 5 to 10 lbs.,
can reach up to 20 lb. Striking a variety of lures and jigs, as well
as live and dead baits, powerful fighters for their size. This species
is most commonly found within the first 200 feet of the water column.
Striped marlin are being encountered spread out through the entire
area, more numbers encountered off of Cabo San Lucas, but also
scattered off of San Jose del Cabo grounds. No mackerel schools being
seen now, so fish are moving and searching for food sources.
Not much consistent bottom action being found, besides jigging for
bonito over the rocky structure, chrome patterned yo-yo style jigs jig
were most productive, there was an occasional pargo, cabrilla or
amberjack in the mix. Near Punta Gorda and north towards
La Fortuna there were a few wahoo hanging around, most of these fish
were smaller sized, 10 to 20 pounds, striking rigged baits more often
than on traditional lures, anglers were still fortunate to land one of
these elusive highly prized fish.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 70 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
3 striped marlin, 8 wahoo, 18 yellowfin tuna, 205 bonito, 68 sierra,
155 dorado, 2 amberjack,1 yellowtail,18 pargo and 10 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
