Cabo Fish Report
April 18-24, 2011
WEATHER: What great weather we had for Easter week! Our daytime highs managed to reach just over the mid 90's for a few days and the evening lows managed to touch the mid 60's, really nice stuff! There was almost no cloud cover so it was nice and sunny all week.
WATER: Good news! We are seeing a warming trend and that means that the fishing is getting better. As the reports below show, warmer water most of the time means better fishing, until it gets too warm, of course. As of the end of the week the water on the Pacific side had warmed from the 62 degrees we had last week to 64-67 degrees. The only issue we had this week was surface conditions, as for part of the week evening winds made it a little rough to go offshore in the mornings. Inshore it was quite a bit better with just swells and not so much chop. On the Cortez side the warm water that had eased in up off of Vinorama continued it move in our direction, During the middle of the day we were getting water temperatures in the high 70's, dropping to the low 70's at night. This warm water moved south to the Gorda Banks and just a bit south of there, winding it's way to the 1150. Surface conditions were great as well with only small swells and a bit of wind chop later in the day.
BAIT: It was still difficult to get any good supply of decent large baits here, most of the stuff the bait boats had were look-downs and grunts, there were only a few Mackerel and Caballito to be found. Of course it was the usual $3 per bait, even for the poor baits. Sardinas were available here, but they were more expensive than getting them to the north. Most of the boats that wanted Sardinas were traveling to Palmilla to get them. There were large ones and small ones, and whichever you wanted were $25 to $30 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We finally have some good news to report about the billfish! There were Striped Marlin found at the tail end of the week before last, but the bite was still an on-off situation, and I did not want to really say much since only a few boats were doing well. So.....this week it finally went off, great Striped Marlin fishing was to be had on the Gorda Banks to the 1150 and all the way down to the 95 spot. There were jumpers, tailers and feeders all through the area and they were finally hungry. While before a good catch for the better boats was three or four fish, this week the better results were in double digits! Plenty of fish were found to throw baits at, if you had the baits. Many of the boats were pulling rigged ballyhoo or tuna belly strips and getting bit. These fish were also going after lures. A few guys were saying things were wide open, but that is just in comparison to what we have experienced for the past three months. Average boats were releasing a couple of fish a day, whereas in a wide open bite everyone is in double digits! Anyway, another bright spot on the billfish front is the appearance of Swordfish. Most of them have been found up off of Vinorama and Punta Gorda on the surface. There have been several caught every day and more lost. One boat caught three over two days, all on the surface. I have no idea how long this is going to last but last week it was good!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Another bright spot for the week was the showing of some Yellowfin, finally. The 95 spot to the 1150 had scattered schools of footballs with some larger fish to 40 pounds in the mix. Of course the first boats to the schools did the best, but the bite did not totally shut down and most anglers were able to get one or two into the fish box. Farther up the coast off of the Gorda Banks there were scattered schools as well, and some of them held fish to 100 pounds. A slightly different method was needed on the larger fish, just trolling lures or chumming with Sardinas did not work. Setting out a kite or using a helium balloon to get the bait well away from the boat brought some bites from these larger fish. Boats that were willing to brave the choppy water on the Pacific side of the Cape got into some larger footballs, to 25 pounds, just to the south of the San Jaime Bank, but the choppy water made it difficult to follow the pods of Porpoise used to find the action.
DORADO: We finally saw a few Dorado hit the docks this past week. The warm water that moved in brought everything with it and Dorado were not an exception. While not there in great numbers as the water is still a bit cool, there were fish caught that weighed up to 20 pounds. Most of them were in the 10-12 pound class however, and were mixed in with both the Yellowfin and the Marlin. If the warm water remains, or gets even warmer, there is a chance the bite on Dorado will get better. I am not going to say that for sure though, because if there is one thing I have learned in over 35 years fishing offshore is to never predict! I just say what happened, I can't see into the future, if I could I'd be rich!
WAHOO: I saw more orange flags flying this week than last week, but I did not see any Wahoo hit the docks. That does not mean there were not any caught, after all with that warmer water and our just coming off of the full moon there should be Wahoo out there. I just did not see any of them, and none of my good friends told me of catching any. So, probably most of the orange flags I saw were for Sierra, but there is a good chance some of them were for Wahoo.
INSHORE: It was nice to have a good variety of inshore fishing to choose from. If you decided to go up the Pacific coastline you had a good chance to get into decent Yellowtail. Up off of the rocky points working iron in water to 200 feet resulted in some really steady action on fish to 25 pounds. One of my buddies said he did well with 10 fish between 20-28 pounds in two hours, with most of them coming right off the bottom, and lost a few more that rocked him. (good going Cubby!) If you decided to go after Sierra instead of Yellowtail all you had to do was go up the Cortez coastline a little way. Sardinas for chum brought the fish around, but the best bites were had by using dead ones, drifted back on a bit of wire leader. Mono leader got bit more often but also resulted in a lot few sharp-toothed fish in the boat. A few grouper were found by the Pangas as well as a few snapper.
FISH RECIPE: Simple is better, and much faster in food preparation. One of the simplest recipes I have for fish involves the use of just oil, salt and pepper. We had Sierra fillets Saturday night courtesy of one of our clients and as it was late when we got home I wanted something quick and simple, but with a twist. Sierra have no scales so I left the skin on but trimmed out the bloodline and ribs. Any fish with scales, get rid of them first. I then brushed the fish with avocado oil, then a light touch of sesame oil. Dust on the salt and pepper, oil the grill and away we go! Combined with some french fries and a small salad of tomato wedges, romaine, black olives and crumbled blue cheese and we had a meal fit for a king!
NOTES: What a great week! Wonderful weather, the fishing really picking up on all fronts and lots of people in for the Easter week. It has been quite a while since we have seen the fishing this good and it has everyone excited. If you want to go offshore for billfish, they are there. If you want Tuna there is a very good chance at them, and the possibility of a big one. Yellowtail and Sierra continue to bite for those that want some meat on the table or just don't feel like spending a full day fishing. It really does not get much better than this! If you were hesitating about coming down to fish, go ahead and do it. Of course there is no guarantee that the fishing will continue to be this good when you get here, but then again there never is a guarantee about fishing! This weeks report was written to some sounds I haven't heard in a while, but one of my wife's favorites. The CD is a 1986 Chrysalis Records release of Billy Idol titled “Whiplash Smile”. Good sounds! Until next week, tight lines!

San Jose del Cabo
April 25, 2011
Anglers -
Vacationers visiting the Los Cabos area are being welcomed with ideal spring
time weather conditions, clear sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s. The
southern winds slacked up in recent and this made for calmer seas. Ocean
currents have been swift and changing rapidly, water temperatures have ranged
from 68 degrees off of the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas to 78 degrees offshore
in the direction of the 1150 Bank and the Cabrillo Seamount.
Anglers have been patiently waiting for offshore action to turn on, starting to
see some signs of encouragement the past week, more porpoise activity, at times
being associated with yellowfin tuna schools. Strong numbers of striped marlin
being spotted, even though the hook up percentage was low, fish not aggressively
feeding on the surface now. An occasional wahoo strike was being reported from
these porpoise pods as well, most of which were the larger sized dark porpoise.
At this rate of activity, if weather patterns stabilize in the coming weeks, we
could be in for wide open action.
The big talk around town now from offshore anglers has been the daytime
swordfish encountered the past couple of weeks. This has been mainly a deal
being targeted on larger sportfishers, reports of over a dozen swords landed
this past week alone, some weighing as large as 350 pounds. These fish were
spotted on the surface on the fishing grounds outside of San Jose del Cabo and
towards the East Cape, not that far out, 15 to 20 miles from shore. This has got
to be one of the better bites on the swordfish in this area in many years, not
many places in the world offer such chances at baiting up one of these elusive
gladiators on the surface during the daytime. It will be interesting to see if
these numbers hold up through the month. East Cape charters reported that the
gamefish they are now catching offshore are plugged with medium sized squids,
particularly the striped marlin. The season’s first quality sized dorado are now
appearing in the counts off of that region. Squid is always a favorite food
source for all pelagic gamefish, especially so for swordfish, feeding at depths
during the dark hours and lazily sunning on the surface during the daytime, in
the digestive mode, but still whiling to strike various available baits, like
caballito, bolito, skipjack etc..
The majority of the day charters are now finding that the most consistent all
around action is closer to shore. A variety of species such as sierra,
roosterfish, jack crevalle, pompano, pargo, cabrilla, amberjack, yellowtail,
grouper and others were being found near the rocky beach stretches. Drift
fishing over the rock piles, using both bait and yo-yo iron jigs have been
producing a mixed bag of species, no huge numbers, all good eating, with a
handful of grouper to over 30 pounds. The Palmilla Point and Red Hill area was
one of the most popular this past week, this is also where supplies of sardinas
are being netted in the a.m. A few striped marlin were even hooked in this spot,
within a half mile of shore, greenish waters, apparently some bait source has
been attracting these billfish in close.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out
approximately 66 charters for the week and anglers reported a fish count of: 8
hammerhead shark, 8 yellowfin tuna, 3 dorado, 21 yellowtail,11 amberjack, 76
pargo, 65 cabrilla, 10 grouper, 244 sierra, 18 roosterfish, 8 jack crevalle and
8 pompano.
Good Fishing, Eric

Weekly Fishing Reports (Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Meziadin North)
Noel Gyger
April 10 to April 17, 2011
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: Weather was good all week but day and night time temperatures have been below average. This has caused ALL the rivers to remain very, very low. Snow pack is staying in the mountains.
Skeena River is in fair shape but “stained” with a little brown colour. This river usually has a good run of spring Steelhead. So get out there and try your luck. The Trout and Dolly Varden Char are available year round.
The Kalum River is in good shape but very low. Fishing for Steelhead is good although with the low water they “spook” very easily.
The Zymoetz (Copper) River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead is fair but water is very, very low. Fish are spooky. The upper section closed for fishing on January 1st.
The Lakelse River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is fair.
Kitimat River is very, very low, some of the locals describe it as a “ditch”. We need some warm weather or some rain to bring up the water levels. I guess we should be careful what we wish for? Rising water should bring in more spring Steelhead.

_____________________________________
Kalum River Is in good shape both upper and lower end and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is fair. The water is very low and the Steelhead are “spooked”. When the water is low it can be fished successfully with light spoons. Some of the best spoons are made by Gibbs http://www.gibbsfishing.com/ . Some of the best rods are GLoomis. Shimano http://fish.shimano.com/ make some excellent spin reels. Tuf-line makes some excellent braided line. Duracast http://www.tuf-line.com/ line is coated and slides effortlessly through the guides and won’t wrap on the tip.
Lakelse River Is in fair shape and fishing for Steelhead is fair. Float fishing a bright red corky and a little bit of white wool works well. Choice of hook would be a small Gamagatsu http://www.rapala.ca/ barbless or with barb pinched down. Spin or level wind reels filled with Power Pro http://fish.shimano.com/ braided line works well. Use the thinnest line possible. It is still very, very strong.
Skeena River Steelhead and Trout can be caught at some locations. There will be a spring run of Steelhead starting now.
Gitnadoix River This beautiful Skeena tributary usually has a very good run of spring Steelhead. This river is located in a Provincial Park. It is a very rough, rocky river in the lower end and jet boating can be dangerous. Please be careful!
Zymoetz (Copper) River The water is in good shape but very low. Fishing for Steelhead is fair. Reminder: No fishing above the sign at the transmission line crossing (below) Zymoetz Canyon Jan 1 – June 15. You can still fish below the sign all winter. Fly fishing is the choice of many on this river. Wading with quality Simms http://www.simmsfishing.com/ waders and accessories is the way to go. A friend of mine is very happy with his new Islander http://www.islander.com/ fly reel. Trophy XL http://www.redlsports.com/ fly rod, Cortland Line http://www.rapala.ca/ and Maxima Tippet http://wwwbrecksinc/en/maxima.htm completes his set.
Zymagotitz (Zymacord) River The water is in fair shape and access has improved with the melting snow. Fishing for Cutthroat Trout and Dolly Varden
Char is good. This river has some big Bull Trout and a fair run of Steelhead.
Kitimat River The water is very, very low, some of the locals describe it as a “ditch”. We need some warm weather or some rain to bring up the water levels. I guess we should be careful what we wish for? Rising water should bring in more spring Steelhead.

KITIMAT LODGE STEELHEAD REPORT APRIL 12, 2011
Has spring finally arrived, I wonder as we get pelted with snow while on the water. The groundhogs are playing games for sure this year. We are now into week 2 of our Steelhead season and the fellas from Japan managed to run straight into a nice run of male Steelhead on the spey rods. It was the first time for these fellas to target Steelhead and the fish ranged from 36-38 inches, so weighing in the high teens, very respectable sizes. River conditions are low at best and water temperatures are still in the high 30s to 40F. Afternoon seemed to be our best success as the odd pool had Steelhead rising to warmer afternoon sun beating on the water. The fellas tied a beautiful assortment of flies and I included a collage of the recipes they used. Please see the Photo of the Week at the very top of this report.
Week 3 is upon us and our next groups arriving from the USA are in for a treat as fish numbers have increased in the local streams and warmer weather is predicted for the next while, I hope.
Tight lines.

Andrew Rushton – Kalum River Lodge
Hi Noel, another week of good fishing to report. Good numbers of Steelhead in the Kalum River are making for some great fishing. This past week the cooler temperatures have kept water levels down. We have had good success with both the spey rod and spinner fishing. We are anticipating the first Chinook of the season to arrive anytime now, especially with the warmer weather forecast later this week.
Regards,
Andrew Rushton

Cabo Fish Report
April 11-17, 2011
WEATHER: A nice change was in store for us at the start of the week. The winds quit and the air warmed up. Our lows for the week were in the mid 60's while the highs were in the mid 90's. We had a little overcast so you didn't really feel the sun, but as many tourists found out at the end of the day, she was shining!
WATER: That cold water current we had along the shoreline on the Pacific side last week shifted offshore and at the end of the week the eastern edge, at 63 degrees, ran right across the top of both the Golden Gate Bank and the San Jaime Bank. The water inside of there, between the edge and the shoreline is now showing 70 degrees. This 70 degree water crosses the tip of the Cape at a distance of 25 miles, outside the 1,000 fathom line, and extends all the way up the Cortez side with a little warmer water, at 73 degrees, just south of the Gorda Banks. Surface conditions were much better this week on the Pacific side since the winds died down and it was almost glassy on the Cortez side.
BAIT: It was still difficult to get any good bait this week. I am not sure why, but out of 30 that would be swimming in the bait boats tank, only a few would be the right kind. At $3 each, most of us just had to say no, and instead went with strip baits or frozen ballyhoo. There were nice Sardinas available for $25 a scoop up at the Palmilla area.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin did move in a lot closer to us this week, but they were still hard to get a bite from. Many of the Pangas were trying for them as a change of pace from Sierra and Yellowtail, but after a day or so of frustration went back to fishing for the inshore fish. At a distance of only 5 miles off the arch, you were able to spend a lot of time working the fish, and if you had the right bait (see above) and good luck you were able to release a few fish each trip. For the most part though, the fish were very closed mouthed and would just roll and look at you then swim away. Maybe they are stuffed with squid? I don't know, just know that there are a lot of frustrated anglers and crews out there!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Tuna were not the fish of the week! There were few found, and those that were found were not very large with an average weight of only 12 pounds. A few larger fish were caught, but not on a steady basis or in any numbers. Most of the larger fish were found while drifting live Sardinas after chumming heavily, and that action was occurring around the Gorda Banks area.
DORADO: I still didn't see any Dorado flags this week.
WAHOO: Once again the red/orange flags I saw this week were for Sierra and Sharks, not wahoo.
INSHORE: With the change in the weather and the sea conditions there was a lot more pressure on the Pacific side, but there was a reason for that. The Yellowtail bite was good up around the Marguerite area with fish ranging in size from 12 to 20 pounds. A good trip resulted in a double digit catch with more lost. Using iron was the way to go, and you got your arms very tired reeling these up as fast as you could! Sierra were still biting off the Sol-mar area and farther to the north, the bite on the Cortez side dropped off a bit. There were a few decent bottom fish like Grouper and Snapper caught as well, most of them on live Sardinas.
FISH RECIPE: One of my favorite snacks, and sometimes a meal, is fish ceviche. Everyone has a different way of doing it. In Guam we would use soy sauce, wasabi, yellow mustard, lots of lemon juice and crushed onion, adding minced red pepper to taste. Once that was to our tastes, we would add diced tuna. Here in Cabo it is a mix of soy sauce, diced onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro and lime juice, then adding the diced fish, either sierra of whatever the catch of the day is. All of it is done to taste, and then the mix is allowed to sit for an hour to cook the fish in the lime juice and have the flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips or saltines and there you go. Make sure there are cold beers handy!
NOTES: The weather could not be any better! We are seeing between one and four cruise ships a day most days, but those numbers are soon to taper off to only a ship a week as they finish moving up to Alaska for the summer season. The whales are becoming more scarce as they too move on toward more northerly waters. The beaches are quiet in the mornings, but with Easter week coming up that is going to change quickly. Going to the beach during “Semana Santa” (Easter Week) is a Mexican tradition and we have major numbers of visitors from the mainland come over on the ferries and on planes. The beaches become packed, and on some of them the family's just camp out. In town, the police do not allow any parking within two blocks of the beach, and all the wave runner operations are shut down in order to protect the swimmers. While that is going on it becomes a bit hectic, but always fun to watch and really gives us a chance to meet people. On that note, this weeks fish report is done. This one was written to the music of Chuck Allen Floyd on his first studio release “Tonight an Angle Fell”. Thanks to Allen Bailey for the copy, and I like it so much I used it again! Until next week, tight lines!
I will be posting more to my blog now, please go to http://captgeo.wordpress.com/ and subscribe, you will be sent a notice every time I post a new article. Please feel free to send suggestions or if you have any ideas for articles. Thanks George
Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
April 17, 2011
As days become progressively longer, with rising daytime temperatures, this is transition time in Southern Baja, when conditions fluctuate from day to. There was a warming trend for a few days, then this switced to cooler winds off of the Pacific, common pattern during spring. Daytime highs ranged from 75 to 85 degrees, an ideal all around climate now. Ocean currents have averaged 66 to 72 degrees, warmer areas found offshore of the Gordo Banks towards Los Frailes. Crowds of tourists are lighter now, as spring break winds down. Though this coming week is the Easter Holiday and the local tradition of camping on the beaches will be in full swing.
More favorable ocean currents were found north of Punta Gorda, warming water to 74 degrees, encouraging with many schools of unidentified baitfish on these fishing grounds, greater numbers of striped marlin were encountered on the surface, often in groups of several fish or more, but these billfish were not showing much interest in biting. Perhaps having so much natural food source the stripers are just not hungry now and with full moon this weekend it is hard to predict what might happen.
There has been some reports of smaller sized yellowfin tuna found traveling with porpoise, Outside of the Gordo Banks and to the north, first boats on the scene were scoring. On Saturday a couple of panga charters scouted areas towards Vinorama and outside of San Luis they encountered schooling yellowfin tuna, they did account for a pair of fifty pound class yellowfin for their efforts, a couple of other strikes were lost. These tuna hit on either sardinas or bolito, which were found near these same fishing grounds. This is a bit of encouraging news and possibly will develop into something more consistent. Still a very hit of miss deal, there have been choppy conditions at times further offshore. Few dorado or wahoo to speak of either. There continued to be consistent action found for sierra along the rocky beach stretches, trolling with sardinas was the most productive method for this.
Drift fishing over shallow water rock piles with sardinas produced a mixed bag of pargo, cabrilla, grouper, amberjack, yellowtail, bonito, triggerfish and pompano. These are all great eating species, most of the fish averaged less than ten pounds, but there were a handful of grouper, yellowtail and amberjack that did top the 30 pound mark, including one 60 pound class grouper. Anglers had varying success using yo-yo style iron jigs, this was harder work, but also this produced a number of quality fish.
Schools of sardinas were concentrated near Palmilla Point, somewhat limited supplies, but available most days and fresh dead sardinas were offered by the $10 bag at the panga docking area in La Playita. No schools of mullet reported yet, still a bit early for them. This is the tail end of whale migration now, actually there have been quite a few sightings recently, but these mammals will all be migrating towards their northern feeding grounds in the coming weeks.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out approximately 52 charters this past week, with anglers reporting a fish count of:
5 mako shark, 12 hammerhead shark, 3 yellowfin tuna, 13 bonito, 19 amberjack, 29 yellowtail, 6 pompano, 18 pargo, 14 roosterfish, 29 cabrilla, 9 grouper and 165 sierra.
Good fishing, Eric

April 3 to April 10, 2011
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: Weather was fair all week. Lots of sun shine, some rain and warm day time temperatures. Guided Fishing started on March 15th on the Kalum River.
The Skeena River is in good shape. The ice and snow are melting fast. This river usually has a very good run of spring Steelhead. So get out there and try your luck. The Trout and Dolly Varden Char are available year round. The Kalum River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead is excellent.
The Zymoetz (Copper) River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead is fair. The ice flows are gone. The upper section closed for fishing on January 1st.
The Lakelse River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is fair.
Kitimat River; Mother Nature played an April Fool's Day trick on the people of Kitimat April 4th when we woke up to snow covered lawns. We thought we were finished with the harsh winter conditions. The snow was only a light dusting and a little rain and the afternoon sun soon transformed things back to normal. Steelhead Season on the Kitimat is progressing nicely with anglers very happy to report their Daily catch although reluctant to reveal much. Steelheaders are a bit different breed. I think due to the nature of the fishery.
Douglas Channel; I spoke to Richard from MK Bay today and he had very little to report mid week. As the snow continues to melt to allow more boaters to get their boats out of winter storage, activity on the Douglas Channel will increase. The weekend should produce more activity. See Important Halibut Information below.
Prince Rupert; sorry, no report from Prince Rupert this week.
If you would like to book a comfortable, warm Charter Boat for Winter Chinook and Dungeness Crab in Kitimat or Prince Rupert please contact me noel@noelgyger.ca anytime.
River Reports
Kalum River Is in good shape both upper and lower end and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is excellent. Both spin and fly is working well.
Lakelse River Is in fair shape and fishing for Steelhead is fair. Trout fishing is starting to turn on.
Skeena River Steelhead and Trout can be caught at some locations. There will be a spring run of Steelhead starting now.
Gitnadoix River This beautiful Skeena tributary usually has a very good run of spring Steelhead. This river is located in a Provincial Park. It is a very rough, rocky river in the lower end and jet boating can be dangerous. Please be careful.
Zymoetz (Copper) River The water is in good shape to fish right now. Fishing for Steelhead is fair. Reminder: No fishing above the sign at the transmission line crossing (below) Zymoetz Canyon Jan 1 – June 15. You can still fish below the sign all winter.
Zymagotitz (Zymacord) River The water is in fair shape and access has improved with the melting snow. Fishing for Cutthroat Trout and Dolly Varden. Char is good. This river has some big Bull Trout and a fair run of Steelhead.

Endless Season Update APRIL 11, 2011
REPORT #1252 'Below the Border'
Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Pudge Kleinkauf owner of Women's
Flyfishing® returned to Buena Vista
Beach Resort for the fifteenth
consecutive year. The group including
first timers and seasoned veterans were
greeted by signature East Cape warm
springtime weather. To everyone's
delight the fly fishing yielded a nice
variety including, bonito, skipjack,
sierra, jack cravelle roosterfish and
cabrilla. According to guides Jeff De
Brown and Lance Peterson the skipjack
were thick and it wasn't unusual for all
the ladies on the boats to be hooked up
at the same time.
Hotel Rancho Buena Vista that closed
suddenly several months ago reopened
their bar this week. Tony Marron, a 36-
year-employee of the Ranch and his son,
Tomas greeted the crowd of locals that
eagerly returned to the watering hole
that has been a favorite dating back to
the Ray Cannon era.
Offshore action took a back seat for
most visitors this week. Most were
content to bask in the warm sun and
catch whatever wanted to bit close to
shore including jacks, small roosters,
skipjack and sierra.
Up to the north outside of Pescadero as
well as south in front of La Ribera
there were some deepwater (150 to 250
feet) yellows to be had with some
weighing in at forty pounds.
The few hotel boats that ventured
further offshore were rewarded with
multiple striped marlin, a few dorado
and some early season wahoo including
one sixty pound toad. Also intriguing
were the swordfish spotted by several
offshore boats. However excitement soon
turned to frustration as the clearly
visible two finners ignored the baits
presented to them. A couple did bite but
either spit the hook or broke off before
the battle barely had begun.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
With the exception of a few courageous
pangueros willing to brave the elements
there few going offshore now. There are
the usual rumors of yellowtail at the
Entrada as well as outside the rocks
below the lighthouse at Lazaro.
The Esteros provided good catches of
corvina according to Captain Roddy
Garcia up above Lopez Mateos. He added
that there were also a few grouper and
pargo found in some of the deeper
channels near the old Gypsum pier.
Current Magdalena Bay Weather
http://tiny.cc/MagBayWeather150
Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
The warmer 82ş water is definitely
moving back in earlier than expected,
and the good fishing we usually get in
May and June should soon follow.
Currently the clean water is just 4
miles off the beach with the boats
averaging a sailfish or striped marlin a
day each. However, the inshore action is
still holding strong, with the
roosterfish making an early appearance.
Normally we start targeting roosters
from about mid-May, but Adolfo, on the
panga Dos Hermanos, went south to the
antennas and releasing 5 from 35 to 45
pounds for his French clients. The fish
were taken on slow trolled live bait and
surface poppers.
Cheva, on the Dos Hermanos II fished
inshore with Troy Sturm of Minnesota for
one day. Troy and his wife caught about
20 fish, including lots of sierras, a
few chulas, and a couple of other
species…Ed Kunze
Current Zihuatanejo Weather
http://tiny.cc/zihuatanejo582
Cabo San Lucas
Striped marlin did finally show up, but
they are a long way offshore and they
still are not very hungry. The question
we have is how long they are going to
stay in the area, and will they get
hungry? A trip of 30+ miles has been
needed to get to them, and that is a
trip out to the Cabrillo Seamount area,
making for a choppy ride home afterward,
but boats that have been doing the trip
have been seeing between 12 and 20 fish
per trip and getting 5-6 bites,
averaging 3 releases per trip.
There were scattered yellowfin tuna
found, but still nothing in any size or
numbers. It is quite possible that they
are out there on the Pacific side but
the water has been rough and few boats
have been willing to go out there and
get beat up on slim chance of finding
fish. The area of the Gorda Banks has
been producing an occasional Yellowfin
Tuna, but better luck has been had for
large Bonita, some of them going 12
pounds.
Inshore conditions really changed where
most of the Pangas went. On the Pacific
side you could hug the beach and get as
far north as Punta San Cristobal for
some sierra and a decent yellowtail
bite. There were also a few snapper to
be found in the rocks between there and
the arch, but the swells kept many boats
from getting close enough to fish for
them. You had to be a hardy, determined
soul to fish the Pacific side! On the
Cortez side there were fish as well, but
there seemed to be a few less sierra.
Most of the boats were working hard to
get a few fish and sardina were
definitely the key to success…George and

Cabo Fish Report
April 3-10, 2011
WEATHER: It was a windy week here in Cabo. It started on Monday and did not let up until this Sunday morning. It was also blowing hard up at the East Cape according to the reports I got. Add in some cloud cover early in the week, thick enough that we were almost positive we were going to get some rain and it was about as far from the sunny beach scene as you could imagine happening here. And moisture? Well, there was no rain but we did get some misting on the car windows and when I was at Cabo Real Golf course Friday and Saturday we did have some fog move in off the shoreline! Cool winds, clouds, hmm, not much to say about that!
WATER: At the end of the week there was a cold 60 degree current sweeping down the Pacific coastline. The current extended this cold water as far as 40 miles to the southwest. Coldest close to shore 64 degree water extended to the west as far out as the outer edges of the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks. On the Cortez side of the Cape it is 72 degrees close to the beach, 70 degrees any farther out than 5 miles and when you get up around the Punta Gorda area it warms a bit to 73 degrees. Surface conditions on the Pacific side were choppy to rough because of the winds so most of the cruisers were fishing the Sea Of Cortez. Some of the Pangas were hugging the shoreline and fishing as far north on the Pacific side as Punta San Cristobal.
BAIT: Bait, at least good live bait was hard to come by this week. Many of the boats were going with frozen Ballyhoo instead, at least you could get those, but they were expensive at $4 each. There were a few live baits of the larger size, but not much in the way of quality baits. Toward San Jose you could get decent Sardinas, and the farther you got from Cabo the more you got for your money.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Well, the Striped Marlin did finally show up, but they are a long way offshore and they still are not very hungry. The question we have is how long they are going to stay in the area, and will they get hungry? A trip of 30+ miles has been needed to get to them, and that is a trip out to the Cabrillo Seamount area, making for a choppy ride home afterward, but boats that have been doing the trip have been seeing between 12 and 20 fish per trip and getting 5-6 bites, averaging 3 releases per trip. High boat for the week managed to get 10 releases in one day, but that was a full day trip on a private boat. Lures have worked for a few of the fish but the right live bait has been the big producer. That live bait has been hard to get so some of the private boats have been spending the time to try and catch their own, a time consuming proposition that can ruin a normal charter trip.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were scattered Yellowfin Tuna found, but still nothing in any size or numbers. It is quite possible that they are out there on the Pacific side but the water has been rough and few boats have been willing to go out there and get beat up on slim chance of finding fish. The area of the Gorda Banks has been producing an occasional Yellowfin Tuna, but better luck has been had for large Bonita, some of them going 12 pounds.
DORADO: I didn't see any Dorado flags this week.
WAHOO: The red/orange flags I saw this week were for Sierra and Sharks, not wahoo.
INSHORE: Still the way to go if you want action, the sea conditions really changed where most of the Pangas went. On the Pacific side you could hug the beach and get as far north as Punta San Cristobal for some Sierra and a decent Yellowtail bite. There were also a few Snapper to be found in the rocks between there and the arch, but the swells kept many boats from getting close enough to fish for them. You had to be a hardy, determined soul to fish the Pacific side! On the Cortez side there were fish as well, but there seemed to be a few less Sierra than we had last week, at least in the spots where they had been found last week! Most of the boats were working hard to get a few fish and Sardinas were definitely the key to success.
FISH RECIPE: My thanks to Sam Choy for the recipe this week, my wife found the basic recipe in one of his cookbooks many years ago and when we manage to get the ingredients it is our hands down favorite fish dish. You need some white meat fillets, preferably Wahoo but Dorado works fine as well. Also a couple of Mangos, fresh is best but canned will do, minced Macadamia nuts, a couple of eggs, some cilantro, vinegar, sugar, finely minced hot red chillies, butter, lime and fix up a pot of rice! Start by cutting the fillets to portion size, then slicing a pita like pocket into the side of each one. Warm the butter, add lime juice to the butter as well as some minced cilantro, chill in the fridge for a while until firm, then place an equal amount into the pocket of each fillet. Dip the fillets in flour, dip in an egg wash then roll in the minced nuts. Place in a pan and cook for a couple of minutes on each side, just until the nuts brown, then remove to a glass pan to be placed in the oven at 275 degrees for about 10 minutes. Take the Mango (sliced and chunked), place ½ in the blender, add some more cilantro, a bit of white vinegar, a bit of sugar, red chillies to taste, blend then place in a saucepan and heat. When the fish is done, remove and place on top of cooked rice, mix the remaining chunked mango with the sauce and spoon on top of the fillets!
NOTES: Inshore, inshore, inshore, sigh, and inshore once again. On the bright side the Striped Marlin have shown up, our fingers are crossed that they come in closer and start to bite. We are getting ready to take the kid for her weekly Sunday morning walk on the beach, Bloody Mary's when we get back and I am done washing drying and brushing her, a very nice breakfast, they off to town to watch the last round of the Masters. My music for this weeks report was the sound of the wind blowing through the palm trees out back, maybe I need to wear long pants to the beach this morning! Until next week, tight lines!
Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
April 10, 2011
Ideal spring time conditions now greeting anglers that are visiting Southern
Baja. Sunny skies are reaching high temperatures into the 80s. Wind patterns
were now weakening off of the San Jose del Cabo, this is where ocean condition
were calmer. Winds recently have prevailed more from the south, creating cooler
and rougher waters on the Pacific. Ocean water temperatures overall are now on a
warming trend, particularly in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, averaging
from 65 degrees on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, warming up to 78 degree
just south of Los Frailes. It is the time of year when conditions can change
rapidly. Typically the warmer currents push into the East Cape area first and
then swift in the direction of Los Cabos by late spring.
Some larger sized baitfish such as mullet, caballito and moonfish were starting
to move into the Puerto Los Cabos Marina channel, this is always a favorable
sign. Schools of sardinas have become scattered, but have been available in
limited supplies and continued to be the bait of choice for the inshore and
structure fishing that has been the most productive option for anglers now for
the past month.
Anglers found a good variety of fish close to shore while drifting or slow
trolling bait. Also there was fair success reported for anglers retrieving yo-yo
jigs off of the rock piles. Most common catches were yellowtail, amberjack,
skipjack, bonito, sierra, jack crevalle,
pargo, cabrilla, grouper and triggerfish. Most fish averaged 3 to 8 pounds,
though there were larger specimens to over 30 pounds accounted for, namely
yellowtail or grouper. As always, many larger fish were reportedly lost by cut
lines in the rocks. Overall this winter/spring season was improved over last for
all around bottom and inshore action. With water temperatures now warming we do
anticipate to start concentrating more on offshore action.
There were more frequent reports of porpoise activity being found offshore, with
some scattered encounters with yellowfin tuna, most of this was found too far
for local fleets, we are all looking forward to this type of action to move
within range. Billfish were being found throughout the region, but not in any
large concentrations, striped marlin action was more often encountered 10 to 20
miles from shore, but still very hit or miss. There was more talk about
swordfish encounters this past week, more actual sightings than hook ups,
straight off of San Jose del Cabo 20 miles plus miles from shore, also north
towards Cabrillo Sea Mount and Desteladera Bank was an area where the swords
were seen.
We have not seen any dorado to speak of either, that should change soon, a
couple reports of wahoo strikes being taken in the areas of warmer waters
towards Los Frailes.Not much action found on the Gordo Banks, still a chance of
a larger sized yellowtail, but this was a deal where anglers would be looking
for a chance at one trophy fish, no big numbers, with more sharks and sea lions
making prospects more challenging.
Sierra was the main species found patrolling the shore line, Santa Maria was one
of the better spots to find larger sierra of 4 to 8 pounds, striking best on
sardinas. There were increasing numbers of schooling jack crevalle that were
attracted to inshore bait schools. Most of the roosterfish found continue to be
of the small variety, as more mullet migrate into local waters, this will
attract the larger sized roosterfish.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out
approximately 59 charters this past week, with anglers reporting a fish count
of:
5 mako shark, 12 hammerhead shark, 22 bonito, 26 amberjack, 12 pompano, 18 jack
crevalle, 82 pargo, 26 roosterfish, 22 cabrilla, 84 yellowtail, 144 skipjack and
195 sierra.
Good fishing, Eric

Cabo Fish Report
March 28-April 3, 2011
WEATHER: Great weather at the start of the week continued on until the weekend arrived. Then we had a few clouds move in, the wind picked up and the temperature dropped several degrees in the night. For most of the week our morning lows were around 69 degrees and the daytime highs in the low 90's. On Saturday the wind picked up and the morning low was 63 degrees and Sunday we had a high of 85 degrees.
WATER: We had calm water on both sides of the Cape early in the week but as the days went on the wind slowly started to pick up and by Friday the wind, from the northwest, had kicked up the swells on the Pacific side and the currents had brought cold water into our region. On Saturday the water on the Pacific was rough and close to shore was only 60 degrees. Water on the Sea of Cortez was choppy and a bit warmer at 70 degrees and up around Los Frailles there appeared an area of warmer water at 76 degrees.
BAIT: Some Caballito and Mackerel at the normal $3 per bait, and if you went past the bait boats supplying Sardinas to the Pangas outside Cabo Real you could get a decent amount of Sardinas for $25 instead of just a hand full. The Dines were decent size also, some of them 4” long.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Mid week there was a brief showing of Marlin up in the Los Frailles area, a 50 mile trip out of Cabo. Boats were seeing plenty of fish but they were not hungry. A good trip to the are for those few days might have resulted in a couple of hook-ups and a release. Later in the week you could travel 70 miles in one direction and end the day with just one Marlin if you were lucky. It has not been good fishing for Marlin this year, I just hope that things get better when the water warms up and the Blues and Blacks show up, Of course, that will be a few months from now, but my fingers will remain crossed!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Here one day, gone the next, sort of like the Marlin this week. If you were in the right place at the right time you could catch Tuna, the problem was that there was no way to predict that time or place! Once in a while one of the boats would get into a school of fish ad limit out on Yellowfin ranging in size from 8 to 25 pounds, other time you could go all day without getting a bite. Due south past the 1,000 fathom line and around the Gorda Banks and Punta Gorda were areas where some fish were found, but not in any great numbers or with any consistency.
DORADO: I didn't see any Dorado flags this week.
WAHOO: The red/orange flags I saw this week were for Sierra and Sharks, not wahoo.
INSHORE: Once again the inshore fishing was the way to go this past week. At least there were fish there to be caught! The Sierra bite was good on the Cortez side if you chummed heavily with Sardinas the free-lined a live one behind the boat with a light wire leader to protect from getting cut-off. Limits were easy to get on fish ranging in size from three to six pounds. Yellowtail were the other inshore fish of the week. The little firecrackers (4-8 pounds) were everywhere, almost every rock-pile held them, and in the slightly deeper water you could fish fish that went to 30 pounds.
FISH RECEIPE: For my recipe this week I share my version of fish balls. Unlike last weeks, this one uses fresh fish instead of leftovers, and you need to use sticky sushi rice instead of long grain white rice. Take a fillet of fresh fish with all skin and bloodline removed, cube it into 1” cubes. Cook enough sushi rice to make as many balls as you want. Dampen you hands and form a ball with some rice, press your thumb into it and place a cube of fish in the center, close the opening. Dip the ball in beaten egg, roll in flour and deep fry until golden brown. Remove and set on paper towels to drain oil. Use either homemade or store bought tarter sauce and have a ball! The outside of the ball is crispy, the fish tender and the rice holds it all together. A little soy and wasabi also work as sauce for this.
NOTES: Inshore was once again the way to go, but sometime soon the offshore should start to happen! There are still plenty of whales to be seen, I watched a mother and calf Humpback yesterday as they breached, tail lobbed and had a great time off of Cabo Real. While there I had a chance to watch pro golfer Steve Ames work on the range, wow, what a smooth swing! The Cabo Cultural Center had it's grand opening and it's first concert this week as the “Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlan” played a free 90 minute show. Great music, my wife and friends all bought CD's and got their autographs! Their next show was the next night in Mexico City. This means of course that they are my choice for writing this report, and the CD is titled “Romantico Boleros” . Until next week, tight lines!
Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
April 3, 2011
Pristine weather conditions in the Los Cabos area has attracted below than
normal spring break vacationers. The tourists that have made the trip were
enjoying plenty of warm sunshine, daytime highs in the low 80s. Winds were
prevalent from the south and anglers reported rough ocean conditions on the
Pacific, while in the direction of San Jose del Cabo seas were much calmer. We
look forward to the coming months which offer some of the most ideal weather
patterns, more significant is the incredible variety of fishing options for
anglers.
This week the fishing report was pretty much the same as last, ocean currents
ranged from 68 to 71 degrees through most of the region, with warmer spocts
found 10 to 20 miles off of the Gordo Banks to Desteladera. Water was cooler and
murkier closer to shore, cleaner blue water was found ten miles offshore.
Despite finding clearer waters offshore, there was not much action for gamefish
such as striped marlin, dorado, yellowfin tuna or wahoo. Only scattered reports
of striped marlin, fewer dorado or tuna. It is that time of year now, when the
offshore action has just not taken off yet. We anticipate improvement in the
near future, as spring time days are progressively warming. No schooling
baitfish being found offshore now, lack of flying fish, mackerel or bolito, no
food source to attract the larger game at this time.
Sardinas were harder to find, scattered schools near VInorama and from Palmilla
to Chileno, surf conditions also made it more difficult for the netters. These
baitfish were the preferred choice for the inshore fishing and with some
patience.were obtainable daily. At the panga docking area in La Playita they
were selling fresh brined sardinas by the bag for $10, early in the morning,
this was a good option for drift fishing over the shallow rock piles.
For the past few weeks offshore action was not consistently producing much or
anything and anglers found that there was a much better chance at catching fish
closer to shore. Most common species being sierra, scattered along the coastline
from Cabo to San Jose and north, striking on sardinas, hoochies and rapalas.
Other species found close to shore near rocky structure were yellow snapper,
pompano, bonito, cabrilla, dogtooth snapper, barred pargo, yellowtail,
triggerfish and the list goes on. The majority of these fish were in the 3 to 8
pound range, occasionally a larger yellowtail, amberjack or grouper up to 40
pounds. Anglers found success on dead and live bait, as well as working yo-yo
iron off of the deeper rocks. Charters averaged ten to twenty fish in the
overall catch, most all of the species taken being very good eating varieties.
Still quite a few numbers of humpback whales in the area, we expect they will be
migrating north soon. Lots of manta rays were seen jumping, sea lions hanging
out on the fishing grounds, a few hammerhead, thresher and mako sharks making a
presence to add diversity.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent
out approximately 57 charters this past week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 2 mako shark, 1 thresher shark, 8 hammerhead shark, 2 dorado, 17
amberjack, 16 pompano, 135 pargo, 25 roosterfish, 20 triggerfish, 28 cabrilla,
56 yellowtail, 14 bonito and 390 sierra.
Good fishing, Eric

Cabo Fish Report
March 21-27, 2011
WEATHER: Once again things were looking great both in the daytime and at night. Of course it cooled off just a bit at the tail end of the week, right after we had put the quilt away, but not so much that we really needed it. We did have some cloud cover move in at the end of the week as well, some high cover that never threatened rain, but did manage to fool some of the spring breakers into thinking they would not get burned!
WATER: On both the Pacific side and the Cortez side of the Cape the swells were small and the winds light. The only real determination that needed to be made was where you thought you could find the fish. On the Pacific side the water was green out to 8 miles, then lightened up so that by the time you were at either the San Jaime or the Golden Gate Banks the water was a beautiful blue, the color you expect to get in the summer with 80 degree water, only this water was just 68-70 degrees. The green water closer to shore was between 64-66 degrees. To the south of us the cold green water plumed and spread out from the 1,000 fathom line to 20 miles south of there. Inside the 1,000 fathom line the water was a bit warmer at 69-70 degrees, but still off-color. Most of the boats ended up trying for the blue water on the Pacific side, either that or going up to the Punta Gorda area and dealing with the off-color water.
BAIT: Getting good bait was still a chore for the guys who catch it and often unless you were one of the first boats to your regular supplier you ended up with a mix of good and not so good baits (at $3 each). Some Caballito, a few Mackerel, a few Mullet, some grunts and look-downs and a few jacks. Sardinas were a bit tough to get as well most days and $25 did not get you very many.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Early in the week there was a short lived Striped Marlin bite on the Pacific side just to the east of the San Jaime Bank, but it was over almost before it started and boats that went to the area hoping to find the fish again the next day did not fare well. If you were one of the lucky boats there the day the bite happened you might have gotten to release between three and four Striped Marlin out of 6 bites. Sad to say, but 3 years ago I would not have even needed to mention that, boats were getting double digit releases every day back then. On the bright side, the cool water did bring in more sightings of Swordfish, and there were several nice ones caught early in the week. I know of one that weighed almost 200 pounds and another that was just over 300 pounds. More were seen but refused to eat.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Yellowfin were almost a bright spot for us this week, and they did end up being the pot of gold for a few boats as we had a couple of schools show up at the south end of the San Jaime Bank as well as right on top. Most of the fish were footballs but we did have a few boats that got into fish that averaged 30 pounds with an occasional one to 50 pounds. Then there were the schools where you could see the fish breaking the surface all around but would not bite a thing. And then there were the disappointments as you went to an area, worked it hard for several hours with no luck, left to check out another school only to hear on the radio an hour later that the bite had finally turned on back where you had just been! Sorry bout that, but mother nature has a way of keeping us humble, doesn't she?
DORADO: I only saw a couple of Dorado flags this week. Those fish must have been lost and it was natures way of weeding out the gene pool.
WAHOO: We just came off of the full moon but I did not hear of any Wahoo in the last week. Cold water? Who know the reason but the fish were not biting, at least that I heard of.
INSHORE: Still the way to go this past week for most anglers, you were guaranteed action if you decided to fish along the beach. With the catch ranging from Sierra to Yellowtail to Snappers to Grouper and Trigger fish there was always something to bend a rod. Combine that with the fact that it is less expensive and it was no wonder most of the Pangas were busy this week! The fishing was good enough that Sierra and Yellow tail were being caught from the beach on the Pacific side! Most of the Sierra were between 3 and 6 pounds and while there were not many larger than that, there were plenty of them to be caught. Both the Cortez side and the Pacific side of the Cape had good results for these toothy little guys, and Sardinas were the best bet for getting bit, but hootchies in green or yellow worked as well. For the Snapper, throwing a live bait in among the rocks worked, but sometimes all you could do was keep your fingers crossed and hopped they would bit as sometimes they were really picky. The Yellowtail ranged in size from firecracker 5 pound fish to very nice 30-35 pound rod benders. Live bait and iron slabs or butterfly jigs were all working well.
FISH RECEIPE: Using leftover white meat fish (I prefer Wahoo but any white meat will do), flake or crumble it up until you have at least 2 cups. Cook up 1 ½ cups of sushi rice and let cool. Mince 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, mix with ¼ cup of mayo, then mix it all together, salt and pepper to taste. This is a very nice, cool side dish in small amounts, or a great entree if you have plenty of leftover fish.
NOTES: While the offshore fishing was slow, the up-tick in the Yellowfin bite was a sign of things to come (I say that with my fingers crossed!). Swordfish are the ultimate billfish, and are not common anywhere for sport fishermen, so having them show up here is a bit special. There is always a chance that you will be the lucky angler next time out. If I was just looking for action this past week, I would have definitely gone inshore on a Panga. Plenty of action, fish that are good to eat and the trips are short, only 5 hours. On another note, the whales are beginning to head back north and we are seeing fewer each trip. This weeks report was written to the music of Chuck Allen Floyd on his first studio release “Tonight an Angle Fell”. Thanks to Allen Bailey for the great music, and others I will be using in the weeks to come! Until next week, tight lines!

San Jose del Cabo
March 25, 2011
Anglers –
Warm sunny days dominated the first week of spring, crowds or tourist were
lighter than normal and anglers found that the all around fishing action was
slower than the previous week. Perhaps the larger than normal full moon had
something do with this, hard to say. This period is always the time when
conditions are rapidly changing, winds have been light, though currents have
been pushing in off colored waters and there has been a lack of baitfish on the
offshore fishing grounds.
Water temperatures continue to fluctuate, one day there is a warming trend, the
next day cooler waters push back in, up and down, water temperatures have ranged
from 65 to 72 degrees, the coolest areas around the corner of Cabo San Lucas, on
the Pacific and the warmer waters being encountered offshore of San Jose del
Cabo. Supplies of sardinas were scattered, these baitfish were more prevalent
near Vinorama, but those schools have moved on and recently more bait is being
found off of Palmilla Point. No schooling mackerel in local waters and only
minimal supplies of caballito are being found.
The only real action that anglers found with any consistency was close to shore
for sierra and shallow water structure species, though this bite was hit or miss
as well. Charters had average combined catches of 3 or 4 fish, up to 20, with
the most common fish being sierra or pargo. Anglers had best success using
sardinas, though a percentage of fish were hitting on rapalas. Most of the
sierra caught were in the 2 to 4 pound class, with a handful of exceptions on
specimens up to 10 pounds accounted for.
Off the shallow rock piles there were various pargo species, triggerfish,
pompano and cabrilla found while drift fishing with dead or live bait. These
fish were mostly under ten pounds, but provided fun action and great eating
fillets. During the later part of last week larger sized yellowtail in the 25 to
35 pound range were found schooling on the Outer Gordo Banks. These yellows
would come to the surface chasing baitfish, but would vanish as quickly as they
appeared. They were striking on fly lined sardinas, but they proved finicky and
anglers were fortunate to land one or two of these fish, some boats accounted
for up to five fish, many other fish were lost due to broken lines, these
yellowtail always seem to know exactly where the closest rock out cropping is.
Extremely powerful jacks, after being hooked up on the surface in 200 feet of
water they are still able to peel the 40 to 60 pound line off far enough to
reach the structure and eventually their freedom. These particular fish only
would take the live sardinas, no yo-yos or anything seemed to work. This bite
tapered off through the week, with only a few fish accounted for and most of
them were early in the day.
There was better yellowtail action reported out of Cabo San Lucas, just around
from the Arches, yo-yos, rapalas and bait were working on these fish. Though
offshore action was tough, very few dorado, tuna, wahoo or marlin to speak of.
With the warming days we will surely see action improve in the coming weeks.
March is always a hit or miss time for offshore action in the Los Cabos area,
this slow period is not unprecedented, bottom line is if the food source is not
here you just are not going to find many game fish.
The combined panga fleet launching out of La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out
approximately 60 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of:
10 hammerhead shark, 3 mako shark, 28 yellowtail, 91 pargo (red snapper), 25
cabrilla,
12 bonito, 125 sierra, 18 roosterfish and 16 jack crevalle.
Good Fishing, Eric

Endless Season Update March 20, 2011
REPORT #1249 'Below the Border'
Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Lance Peterson found some black skipjack
along the beaches within casting range
of his flyrod allowing him to catch a
few. He even sent photos to prove it!
A recent report that the gillnetters are
back and raping the East Cape beaches
again with their deadly net fences.
Along with a promise of photos to follow
is disappointing. No promises, but if
you see them in your front yard send
your photos. (Be sure to make sure any
numbers on the panga are visible)
Several of the hotels are reporting that
the striped marlin are moving up from
the south, while anglers are spotting
lots of tailers from Las Arenas south,
but so far, these stripers have been
picky biters.
Yellowtail from 20 to 50 pounds remain
the most consistent bite, from in front
of the hotels south to Las Arenas in
around 200 feet of water. Averaging
two or three per boat per day, with
some boats taking as many as ten, better
than half the fish are taken on jigged
iron, the rest on big live sardina.
The larger variety of dorado, to 40
pounds, are being found in warmer water,
ten to twenty miles outside, due east.
Unusually warm water around 78 degrees
is holding some nice fish.
Inshore has been producing big pompano
to ten pounds and good sized pargo have
been taking live sardina at Punta Arena.
The roosterfish are around in good
numbers and already being seen feeding
on the schools of sardina.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
As whale watching season winds down
attention returns fishing both in the
Esteros and outside the bay. Water temps
remain lower than usual. However there
are some nice sized yellows and white
seabass to be found weather permitting.
Still little to report inside the bay
with few, if any fishing recently.
Current Magdalena Bay Weather

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
The blue water is still way out beyond
the 50 mile mark, but at least clean
water has moved into about the 18 mile
areas. Offshore fishing still remains
slow, and will probably stay this way
for a few more weeks. The boats are
averaging less than a sailfish or
striped marlin a day each.
Mike Bulkley, with Captain Francisco of
the super panga Huntress, had this to
say when they fished on Tuesday: We ran
one trip offshore and managed to get 4
Dorado under a floating weed pile. No
other strikes. We came back inshore and
caught Bonita about a mile off the
beach. The blue water is about 18-20
miles out and not really blue, more
clean than green. Saw one sail free
jumping on the 12 mile line in green
water. The next day Francisco went back
to the same spot at 22 miles and a 240º
heading and released 3 sailfish.
Again, about the only high note has been
the inshore action. It has been
excellent for sierras, jack crevalle,
and even quite a few pompano…Ed Kunze
Current Zihuatanejo Weather

Cabo San Lucas
The only area with any consistent marlin
action was outside the 1150 to the
Seamount and along the 1,000 fathom
curve, where most boats found a few
fish. The best catch reported was four
releases for five baited fish. A few
boats were able to find a marlin closer
inshore just off the beach on the Cortez
side. There hasn't been much bait
around except for squid offshore, which
may be what caused the slow fishing.
Some porpoise pods were found traveling
with small yellowfin tuna… the best
concentration just to the south of the
San Jaime and 30 miles to the south of
the Cape. The first boats on the scene
did well and limits were possible in the
right school. Even boats not lucky
enough to be the first one there were
still able to scratch out enough fish to
keep the anglers happy.
There were a few dorado caught by boats
headed offshore for striped marlin in
the warmer water, a couple weighed at
least 30 pounds, but most were in the
15-pound class.
Inshore is producing the best catches.
Sierra from four to seven pounds is
biting well with sardina being the key
to good results. Most of the action is
occurring on the Cortez side of the Cape
up around the Cabo Real beach. On the
Pacific side past the lighthouse there's
been some nice yellowtail to 35 pounds,
but you have to work to find the fish as
they were following the small bait balls
in 150 to 200 feet of water. A good
trip results in five or so of these
tough fighters. There were also snapper
and grouper to liven things up…George

Cabo Fish Report
March 13-20, 2011
WEATHER: I don't think it is possible for weather to become any better than we have had this week. Sunny skies with just a few clouds this weekend, daytime highs in the high 80's, nighttime lows in the high 60's and light winds. Great stuff!
WATER: Surface conditions once again were perfect for fishing with small swells and almost no wind for most of the time, just enough to keep you cool in the middle of the day. We had a plume of cool water running just offshore on the Pacific side that extended to the southeast of us to past the 95 spot. This water was 66 to 64 degrees. On either side of that cool water it warmed up quickly. On the satellite shot for the 18th we saw a flare of warm 80 degree water just to the east of the Cabrillo Seamount and what appeared to be a wide temperature break running from the northwest to the southeast from the Gorda Banks to the seamount with the warmer water to the east. On the Pacific the cool plume ran across the Golden Gate Bank then to the inside of the San Jaime Bank leaving the San Jaime in water that was 69-70 degrees, and the water to the west of there warmed to 72 degrees.
BAIT: The full moon made getting good bait a bit tough but there was some Caballito to be found, just not very many. Some Mackerel were in a few live wells, but not much, and Sardinas were hard to come by. Normal prices were $3 each for the larger baits and $25 for whatever Sardinas you could get.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The only area that seemed to have any consistent action on Marlin this week was outside the 1150 to the Seamount and along the 1,000 fathom curve there. Most boats were spotting several fish each day, with several getting to throw bait on five or more fish, but the best catch result I heard was 4 releases for 5 fish thrown at. Strangely, it was either a long run out there, of a longer stay close to home as a few boats were able to find an occasional Marlin just off the beach on the Cortez side. There were no concentrations of bait except for squid offshore, and that may be what is causing the slow fishing, not enough bait around to bring the fish in.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were some Porpoise pods found this week that held fish, and they were scattered all around with the best concentration in the usual areas such as just to the south of the San Jaime and 30 miles to the south of the Cape. The fish were footballs, but at least there were some out there. The first boats on the scene did well, as is normal with tuna, and limits were possible in the right school. Most boats were not lucky enough to be the first one there but were still able to scratch out enough fish to make the anglers happy. As these were small fish, feathers and small cedar plugs worked well.
DORADO: There were a few scattered Dorado found by the boats going offshore for Striped Marlin, and they were all found in the warmer water. There were a couple of large fish at 30 pounds, but the rest were in the 15 pound class. They were definitely incidental fish as there were no schools and no followers with the ones hooked up.
WAHOO: What Hoo? Strange, but true. I thought the full moon would really get the bite on for the Wahoo but it just didn't happen. There were a couple of fish caught that I heard of, but since I did not see them or hear about them from the primary involved, they were just rumors to me.
INSHORE: Inshore seemed the way to go this week if you wanted action. Sierra were still biting well with most of the action occurring on the Cortez side of the Cape up around the Cabo Real beach. Most of the fish were 4 to 7 pounds and Sardinas were the key to good results. On the Pacific side there were some really nice Yellowtail to 35 pounds up past the lighthouse, but you had to work to find the fish as they were following the small bait balls in 150-200 feet of water. A good trip would result in five or so of these great fighters. There were also some Snapper and Grouper in there to liven things up. Most of the Yellowtail were taken on yo-yo'ing slabs or butterfly jigs, but there were a few taken on live bait.
NOTES: It’s not wide open by any means even though some of the booths around the Marina will tell you that it is. Go out with a good attitude and your fingers crossed, plenty of beer in the cooler and some good friends and you will have fun, and just might get dinner and a trophy. That is all you can really expect right now, but that’s not a bad thing. Meanwhile, listen to some good music and plan your trip! This week’s report was written to the sounds of Alison Krauss & Union Station on their 2002 CD “Live”. Until next week, tight lines!
Gordo Banks Panga Report
March 20, 2011
Anglers –
Spring time is now officially here and the weather is on a warming trend
accordingly. Moderate crowds of vacationers are enjoying clear sunny skies with
high temperatures reaching into the mid 80s. Winds have diminished and anglers
found excellent ocean conditions, minimal swells with water temperatures
averaging 69 to 72 degrees.
Supplies of sardinas are holding up, these baitfish were found schooling in
various locations along the shoreline, though they were more abundant north of
Punta Gorda, near Vinorama. There has been a lack of larger baitfish, no
mackerel or caballito to speak of. Red crabs have been found on the San Jose del
Cabo fishing grounds and are being used as bait for red snapper (pargo and
huachinango).
Throughout the month of March anglers found that the most consistent fishing
action was closer to shore. Working the various rock piles with yo-yo jigs and
sardinas produced a mix bag of pargo, yellowtail, amberjack, bonito, cabrilla,
triggerfish and others. While trolling the inshore beach stretches there was
good action for sierra, jack crevalle and roosterfish. Not too many larger sized
fish, most of the fish caught were under ten pounds, but there were a handful of
yellowtail accounted for that were in the 30 pound class and some quality
huachinango (red snapper) up to 10 pounds, at times these true Pacific red
snapper were being found near the surface feeding the abundant pelagic red
crabs.
Yellowfin tuna counts were minimal, on occasions tuna were seen feeding and
breezing the surface on the Gordo and Iman Banks, but only an sporadic fish was
being hooked, very shy, preferring to feed on the available food source on the
fishing grounds, most notably the red crabs. The yellowfin that were being
landed weighed in the 15 to 30 pounds class. At this same time frame last year
there was an abundance of giant squid in the region and anglers were having some
success using the strip squid as bait for tuna in the 50 to 90 pound range. We
have not heard of any giant squid in local waters at this time, even though
conditions seem favorable to attract them.
Quite a few wahoo were reportedly seen free swimming around in small groups,
often close to the shore, a bit strange compared to their normal habitat. Not
many of these wahoo were hooked into, they just were not very interest in any
offerings, the few that were accounted for were on various cut or whole baits.
One wahoo weighing close to 70 pounds was taken from a panga on a trolled lure
near the Gordo Banks and the other wahoo that were accounted for were of good
size.
Striped marlin action was spread out, no large concentrations of fish, the lack
of bigger baitfish has not helped this situation. The local panga fleets were
occasionally hooking into stripers while drift fishing with sardinas for tuna
and other species. The marlin that were accounted for weighed in the 70 to 130
pound range. Some striped marlin were also found in the blue water by blind
strikes while trolling lures. With water conditions now stabilizing and on a
warming trend we expect the offshore surface action to improve significantly in
the coming weeks.
Despite continuing news reports of cartel issues near Mexican border towns and
on the mainland there have been no incidents at all reported from the Los Cabos
area and this region remains a very safe travel destination.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out
approximately 80 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of:
6 striped marlin, 10 dorado, 13 yellowfin tuna, 28 bonito, 315 sierra, 34
roosterfish, 24 yellowtail, 26 jack crevalle, 468 pargo,17 cabrilla, 4 wahoo, 6
hammerhead shark, 4 dogtooth snapper and 12 amberjack.
Good Fishing, Eric
