Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

Anglers –
August 27, 2017
There were greater crowds of anglers arriving this past week, possibly
taking advantage of the calm weather patterns and wide open yellowfin tuna
action. With no new tropical storms having developed on the horizon at this
time, all looks okay for the coming days. This time of year the weather can
change quickly, so you have to work when the conditions are favorable.
Tropical conditions continue, high humidity, scattered cloud cover, light
winds, calm ocean swells, all making for great conditions offshore for
anglers.
Charters have been relying on slabs of squid and live sardinas for bait,
surprising to actually see the sardinas this time of year, usually these
baitfish would be scattered by this late in the summer, mainly due to
higher surf conditions and too warm of water temperatures for their liking.
Surf conditions have been unusually light recently, this has given the
commercial bait fleet more opportunities to net the schooling sardinas.
The main action this past week was for the yellowfin tuna, an influx of
smaller sized fish in the 10 to 15 lb. class dominated the bite on the Iman
Bank, where fleets from as far as way as Buena Vista have been getting in
on this action. Best bet was drift fishing with free lined sardinas, limits
were the rule. Mixed in with the football sized tuna were white skipjack up
to 8 lb. and an occasional much larger yellowfin tuna in the 50 to 80 lb.
class, though those were few and far between. One tuna in the 150 lb. class
was also reported early in the week off of the Gordo Banks. This time of
year we would expect more numbers of quality sized tuna, we do believe they
are still in the area, but are hanging lower in the water column perhaps,
not wanting to compete with the greater number of smaller tuna, who knows
what is up with that.
With all of the yellowfin tuna around there have been more reports of black
and blue marlin being hooking into, early in the week there was one black
marlin brought into the scale that weighed in at
547 lb. Others in the 200 to 250 lb. range were also landed. Most of these
marlin strikes came while slow trolling larger baits, such as skipjack or
yellowfin tuna.
Only a couple of wahoo strikes were reported all week, these fish are just
not very active now in the warmer waters. Though we did see fair numbers of
dorado spread throughout the region, striking on trolled lures and various
baits. Average size for these fish was under 10 lb., with some exceptions
reaching up close to 20 lb.
This week we saw more dogtooth snapper than we have seen all summer, still
no significant numbers, but at least we are seeing them. These fish hit
while anglers were drift fishing and targeting yellowfin tuna, snapper up
to 45 lb. were landed, the Inner Gordo Bank produced the majority, but
others were also hooked into on the grounds from La Fortuna to the Iman
Bank.
Not much inshore fishing being done now, this action does usually fade out
this late in the season. Most fishing activity is now centered on the high
spots offshore.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 85 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 6 black marlin, 3 blue marlin, 2 striped marlin,
3 sailfish, 162 dorado,1 wahoo,9 dogtooth snapper, 8 yellow snapper, 660
yellowfin tuna, 125 white skipjack, 5 barred pargo, 13 leopard grouper, 1
pinto cabrilla, 13 huachinango, 5 amberjack and 44 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
