San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
May 20, 2018
We saw slightly larger crowds of
tourists arriving this past week.
Weather patterns were now on a warming
trend, though still very comfortable,
barely cold at all in the early
morning, with clear sunny skies and
highs averaging 85 degrees. Winds from
the north have resided, more breeze now
on the Pacific, also much cooler and
greener water to below 70 degrees on
that side of the Peninsula, while off
of San Jose del Cabo and towards the
East Cape the ocean currents are now in
the 76 to 78 degree range, also this is
where the clear blue water is,
concentrations of baitfish and in turn
the more productive fishing
opportunities.
Supplies of sardinas remain steady,
schools of these baitfish are now back
in close range, just north of the
Puerto Los Cabos Marina jetty. Other
bait options were mullet and caballito,
as well as rigging ballyhoo or finding
bait offshore, such as skipjack and
chihuil. Overall this past week showed
promising signs for options close to
shore, off the bottom structure and
offshore.
The yellowfin tuna bite has been
concentrated near the La Fortuna or the
Twenty-Five spot, just inside of the
Iman Bank. Drift fishing with sardinas
for bait has been the best bet for
this, though these yellowfin remain
finicky, often they can be seen coming
up and feeding on the free chum, but
getting them to bite is another deal,
anglers have been fortunate to land one
or two of them, many hook ups were lost
to sea lions or sharks as well. Average
sizes for the tuna we have seen
recently was in the 20 to 60 lb. class.
Only an occasional dorado even being
seen, a handful of wahoo strikes also
reported, with more baitfish activity
seen on these grounds and the favorable
ocean conditions we expect the wahoo
bite might develop.
Shallow water rock piles are now
holding a variety of species, best bite
did seem to be earlier in the day.
Amberjack up to 30 lb. were encountered
coming to the surface, not a normal
action for these jacks, but it is the
time of year it can happen. Quite a few
yellow snapper being found, some over
ten pounds, island jack, surgeon fish,
leopard grouper, barred pargo, rose
spotted snapper, sierra and pompano
were also accounted for, so basically a
smorgasbord of quality eating fish. We
saw one sierra of 12 pounds, end of the
season for these members of the
mackerel family, time of year when the
big ones show up.
With more mullet now moving into local
inshore beach stretches we are also
seeing increasing numbers of
roosterfish arriving, the majority are
still under 20 pounds, though larger
specimens were reported. During the
next few weeks is usually when we see
peak action locally for the larger
grade of roosterfish. Remember that
these fish should always be released
with care, as they are not known for
their eating qualities, rather they are
a true gamefish, known to be very
powerful fighters and grow to over one
hundred pounds, having a limited
habitat, Southern Baja California being
one of the few regions in the world
where they can be found.
The action for striped marlin broke
wide open through this week, particular
so the later part of the week, with the
best action being found from the Gordo
Bank’s north to Desteladera Bank. Once
the word spread the fleet converged, as
far away as Cabo San Lucas and even the
East Cape. Marlin were coming up on and
feeding on balled up baitfish and boat
battles ensued, with the first few
charters arriving to the scene hooking
up and then everyone waiting for the
stripers to come back up on another
bait ball. Also many marlin were
striking on trolled lures, though the
higher percentage of hook ups were from
live baits such as caballito, chihuil
or skipjack, as well as rigged
ballyhoo. The majority of the charters
targeting this action were reported
multiple chances, some boats landing as
many as seven or more fish in one
morning. Sizes ranged from 60 lb. to
130 lb.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 83 charters for
this week. Anglers reported a fish
count of: 78 striped marlin, (majority
released), 5 dorado, 37 yellowfin tuna,
2 wahoo, 65 yellow snapper, 9 surgeon
fish, 45 spotted rose snapper, 42
cabrilla (leopard grouper), 16
huachinango (red snapper), 11 bonito,
36 amberjack, 19 barred pargo, 6
pompano, 52 roosterfish, 12 jack
crevalle, 32 sierra, 18 flag cabrilla,
14 Island jack, 1 tiger shark
(released) and 140 triggerfish,
Good fishing, Eric
