San Jose del Cabo
August 10, 2014
Anglers
Southern Baja California official kicks off Tournament season with the
Bisbee event out of East Cape now going on. Weather patterns remain very
tropical, no new storm systems threatening at this time, though forecasts
have anticipated scattered thundershowers throughout this week, so far we
have seen little moisture fall near the the coast, though over the
mountainous terrain they have received more and at times some serious hard
rainfall with lightning and thunder, though in isolated areas. Very warm
temperatures persist, though we have felt slight relief with increased
cloudiness and breezes from the south, off the Pacific.
Swells increased some and then dropped off just as quickly. Ocean water
temperatures are now averaging in the upper 80’s throughout the region.
Water clarity varied, southern breezes will push in off colored currents,
though for the most part blue water has been found within a few miles of
shore, which is normal for the summer season.
Bait situation has consisted of limited amounts of sardinas, these
schooling baitfish are just moving back in to the Puerto Los Cabos Marina
jetty area, small juvenile sized, but have been the ticket to getting into
a local yellowfin tuna bite that has developed off of Red Hill and
Palmilla, football sized tuna, found close to shore, striking on the live
fly lined baits. Hard to say how long this bait resource will hold up, they
should actually close this zone from commercial netting of these baitfish,
in order to give them a chance to mature, spawn and reproduce, a lot easier
said than done, when anglers are relying on these baitfish to provide them
action for larger gamefish and particularly when these inshore tuna do want
to hit on any other offering besides these small sardinas..
The bite for the larger grade of yellowfin tuna continues far to the north,
near Los Frailes, not within range of a normal charter from San Jose del
Cabo, actually closer for the East Cape fleets, though a handful of
charters from the San Jose are making the long trek, be prepared for gas
surcharges if wanting to fish those grounds, where tuna ranging up to 50
pounds have been accounted for. Limited sardinas being offered and more
charters were looking for slabs of giant squid, sold at times in local
super markets.
Dorado schools were scattered, mostly small sized fish, lots of females,
good practice to always release these juvenile dorado to give them a chance
to mature, reportedly these popular gamefish are one of the more rapidly
growing fish, gaining five pounds per month.
This past week these fish became scarcer, though at times were found in
schools, striking on lures and various baits. Wahoo remain in the area,
though often become more sluggish in such warm ocean conditions, every day
we are seeing one or two of these speedsters mixed in the fish counts.
Trolled lures accounted for more of the wahoo strikes, though a handful
were hooked into for anglers using chunk or whole baits.
Bottom action remain slow, an occasional snapper, cabrilla, amberjack, with
more triggerfish than anything else. A few dogtooth snapper found off the
rock piles, deep water grouper and snapper keeping commercial fleet busy,
rapid currents making this a tough option for drift fishing. Best chance at
hooking into fish while using yo-yo style jigs has been very early in the
morning, after the sun comes up this action completely comes to a
standstill.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 69 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of:
1 blue marlin, 6 striped marlin, 9 sailfish, 175 yellowfin tuna, 6
cabrilla, 12 jack crevalle, 36 dorado, 11 wahoo, 3 dogtooth snapper, 11 red
snapper, 4 amberjack,10 bonito and 2 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
