GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo

Anglers –
The summer season has just begun and we are now seeing increased numbers of tourists
arriving in Southern Baja. The climate has been different this year, more Pacific
breeze and marine layer, keeping temperatures bearable, tropical conditions, highs
near 90 degrees, mild compared to the record heat Wave sweeping across parts of the
western U.S. Tropical storm season has started with a flurry, in the past week we
saw the formation of Hurricanes Cosme and Dalia, both of which had no impact to
land, following a westerly path. Presently on the horizon and gaining more strength,
is Hurricane Erick, this system is forecast to pass very close to the tip of the
Baja Peninsula, possibly bringing some moisture, surely some higher swells, along
with the associated humidity.
Ocean water temperatures have rebounded and in the direction of the Gordo Banks and
towards Los Frailes currents have been averaging 80 degrees or warmer. Still some
spotty off colored areas, but there has been clean blue water found within 5 to 15
miles from shore. Striped marlin have been the most common catch found offshore,
lots of stripers encountered from the Gordo Banks and to the north, anywhere from 5
to 15 miles from shore. Found in schools, the billfish are readily striking trolled
lures, majority of these fish are now running smaller sized, 50 to 80 lb., some
specimens are ranging up to 130 lb.
Dorado are now scattered on the same fishing grounds where the marlin are, striking
on the same type of lures or bait, no significant numbers, though the dorado they
are finding are mostly larger sized 20 to 40 lb. fish. Anglers had the chance at
finding schools of dorado if they found any type of floating debris or set buoys.
Just this past week we received more reports of yellowfin tuna activity, these fish
were being found traveling with porpoise farther offshore, anywhere from 20 to 30
miles out. Off of the San Jose del Cabo grounds most of these yellowfin were in the
15 to 20 pound class, while off of the East Cape there are now some reports of
yellowfin over one hundred pounds being accounted for. This is some encouraging
news, there has been a long absence of any tuna action.
Inshore, it remains the same, with roosterfish being the most common catch, the
incredible wide open action we enjoyed in June has tapered off some, currents had
turned over the inshore conditions, but now the clean warm water is back and the
roosters are back on the prowl, patrolling the sandy beach stretches, fish to over
50 pounds are still being hooked into almost daily. These fish are a trophy catches,
not known for eating qualities and should be released as carefully as possible.
Rounding out the action were some quality sized amberjack, some weighing as much as
80 pounds, they are now being found over shallow rock piles to the north, similar
shallow rock piles that attract dogtooth snapper and grouper. There have been more
amberjack than these other species, hit or miss on the ambers though, traveling long
distances to the more remote spots, highly susceptible to too much boat pressure,
not the type of spot where the fleet can all congregate, too shallow, fish spook
easily. Soon this action will shift back on to the normal grounds such are Iman or
San Luis Bank, areas that can accommodate more numbers of boats and anglers.
Live baits supplies have been holding inside of the Puerto Los Cabos Marina channel,
caballito, moonfish and mullet are available. Though quantities were scarcer this
past week, the fact that commercial pangeros from La Playita have been netting and
selling hundreds of bait to Cabo San Lucas vendors, who have had no bait source in
their own area, they have special salt water reservoirs in the back of pickup
trucks, all rigged with pumps, for quick transport back to the CSL Marina. Problem
is this has added heavy impact on this fragile bait source. Not a good deal when
local charters are facing bait shortages due to lack of resource, there is not an
endless supply of baitfish to support two marinas worth of sportfishing charters.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 92 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of:
4 sailfish, 15 yellowfin tuna, 20 dorado, 64 striped marlin, (many released), 11
dogtooth snapper, 34 amberjack, 22 jack crevalle, 15 cabrilla and 310 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
