Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
July 26, 2015
Last week Hurricane Dolores threatened to impact the Southern Baja region,
but never amounted to much at all, as the system veered further west.
Keeping it far enough away to cause any damage at all, actually very little
rainfall was accounted for, the system dumped more rainfall in Southern
California than it did in Los Cabos. Port closure was lifted on Saturday
and conditions have been improving every day since. Ocean swells have
diminished to moderate levels, mid-week we had six foot swells for a day or
so, but this swell has weakened once again. Even though forecasts have
called for variable percentages of rainfall every day, it has been mostly
dry on the coast, with the exception of very limited isolated showers
quickly moving through. In the mountainous area north of the airport and to
La Paz, they reported greater measurable rainfall. We had been monitoring
recent development of Tropical Storm Felicia, but this storm moved far to
the west and quickly downgraded to a depression, causing no impact at all
locally, except for increasing tropical humid conditions. Slight breezes in
the afternoon have helped to keep conditions bearable.
Ocean temperatures are now reaching the upper 80 degree levels, with most
of the area now being in the 86/87 degree range, slightly cooler on the
Pacific side of the peninsula. Water clarity quickly rebounded with calmer
seas, blue water was found close to shore. Billfish activity has been
centered around the 1150 and 95 spots, as well as on the Gordo Banks.
Charters have been finding mixed success while trolling lures and various
rigged baitfish, with more numbers of blue marlin starting to move in, as
well as some lingering striped marlin and a few sailfish. Many charters
were accounted for multiple billfish days, while others told stories of
large fish being hooked, only to be lost.
The most consistent bite for the local panga fleet has been on the Gordo
Banks for smaller grade of yellowfin tuna, these fish were striking best on
sardinas, which remained available near the marina jetty in the early
morning, these fish ranged up to 10 lb., mixed in with white and black
skipjack. There are a few big yellowfin moving on to these same grounds and
early in the week we saw the first super cow of the season landed, this
tuna was hooked from a 22 ft. panga while soaking a bolito for bait on the
Inner Gordo, the fish took two hours to land on 60 lb. tackle with use of a
80 lb. leader, the yellowfin was weighed in at a whopping 331 lb. Quite an
achievement on a set up that was being rigged up for targeting dogtooth
snapper, which have also been lurking on the Inner Gordo Bank. Several
dogtooth snapper were being hooked into each day from this spot, with many
of these hook ups lost due to broken off leaders. The dogtooth that were
actually landed were weighing in the 30 to 55 lb class.
Dorado continue to be very scarce, just not many being found, who knows
what is going on to cause this lack of these normallyy abundant summer
season species., most likely these fish are searching out cooler Pacific
currents and different food sources. Wahoo were not being found either, not
really surprising, as these fish become sluggish in such warm waters.
Roosterfish action along the coastal stretches faded out, though an
occasional roosterfish was being found, some of these were up to 40 lb.
Still plenty of sharks being hooked into, they seemed to quiet down
immediately after the high swells passed, but in recent days they have
become a nuisance once again. Off the bottom a few cabrilla, amberjack,
yellowtail snapper, huachinango were rounding out catches. One 30 lb.
yellowtail was landed, not an everyday catch in 86 degree water, as these
jacks prefer cooler currents.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 68 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 1 yellowtail, 8 sailfish, 7 striped marlin, 4
blue marlin, 8 dorado, 430 yellowfin tuna, 12 dogtooth snapper, 6
amberjack, 5 cabrilla, 15 yellow snapper, 11 jack crevalle, 120 white
skipjack tuna, 14 bonito, 7 roosterfish and 14 huachinango (red snapper).
Good fishing, Eric
