San Jose del Cabo
May 5, 2013
Anglers –
Crowds of tourists are lighter than normal for the this spring season, the
all around climate has been ideal, with high temperatures in the 80s,
moderate winds, favorable offshore conditions, with a variety of gamefish
being found, this is the time of year when on any given day the unexpected
can happen. Ocean water temperatures are ranging from a chilly 65 degrees
on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, up to 74/75 degrees in the direction
of
San Jose del Cabo. The more consistent fishing action is now being found in
the direction of the warmer currents.
Baitfish are being netted in the marina channel entrance, mainly
caballito, but there is a mix of jurelito and moonfish, on the offshore
fishing grounds there were options for chihuil, skipjack and bolito. Still
no signs of finding supplies of sardinas.
Anglers found that rapidly changing conditions was causing the action to
change from day to day. There had been the great yellowtail bite throughout
the area, especially for the larger fish on the Gordo Banks, then water
temps warmed up last week and this bite came to a standstill. To take up
the slack the wahoo went on a good bite on the grounds north of Punta
Gorda, though this only lasted for a couple of days because ocean
conditions turned over some and the news got out that the wahoo were
hitting and the whole fleet was putting pressure on that area, we all know
that the ‘hoo can become very elusive with increased pressure. On the days
that the wahoo were active some charters landed as many as five fish up to
50 pounds, average size was 20 to 30 lb. They were striking on the normal
high speed trolling lures, Rapalas, Yo-zuris and skirted lead or jet heads.
Some ‘hoo also were striking on trap rigged caballito or ballyhoo.
Despite this up and down action the striped marlin bite has remained steady
for very nice sized fish up to 150 lb. The billfish action was now shifting
further to the north, currently concentrated off of Vinormama. Good numbers
of marlin were in this area and could be encountered tailing on the surface
and were striking trolled baits and lures. Many charters were accounting
were multiple fish days, though at times the marlin would be spotted and
presented baits and showed no interest at all. There has been an abundance
of squid in the same region, which the stripers have been gorging on, also
the passing of the full moon can cause different feeding scenarios.
We have seen a few more dorado appearing with the warmer water, some
charters finding several fish, ranging up to 30 pounds, while others never
reported seeing any dorado, still hit or miss for these fish, though we do
expect to see increased numbers as the water continues to warm. Late
spring, early summer, is when we normally see some of the largest bull
dorado of the year appear on the local grounds. No yellowfin tuna action
being reported locally, the way conditions are really shaping up favorably,
we would expect to hear reports of migrating porpoise traveling offshore
and holding tuna schools, the month of May is when we typically see this
pattern.
There are still some yellowtail in the area and a few were hooked into the
past couple of days while drifting baits deep over the high spots, all were
nice sized, 20 to 35 lb., though no big numbers like the previous week. A
handful of red snapper were hooked into as well, both on live baits and on
yo-yo jigs. So far this season has not produced much for anglers jigging
the rock piles, perhaps the month of May will show improved yo-yo action.
Always a fun way to target bottomfish, jigging can produce quality action
when the fish do decide to strike on the jigs, normally early in the day is
best.
Roosterfish action was very good for this early in the season, anglers were
hooking into good numbers of these prized fighting gamefish while trolling
live caballito along the shoreline, nicer sized fish, some up in the 25 lb.
to 30 lb. class.
Despite this now being the very tail end of the whale migration season, we
were still seeing quite a few numbers of humpback whales in the area,
surely they will be trying to catch up with the main northern migration
soon.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 88 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 46 striped marlin, 38 wahoo, 14 yellowtail, 8
amberjack, 42 dorado,12 sierra, 15 red snapper (huachinango), 25 bonito, 13
cabrilla, 42 roosterfish, 35 jack crevalle and 5 mako shark.
Good Fishing, Eric
