October 8, 2006
Anglers –
Just like clockwork crowds of fall anglers are showing
up by the hundreds to take advantage of the excellent
fishing opportunities the Los Cabos area has to offer.
The weather has continued to be ideal, lots of
sunshine, very little wind, cooler mornings and humid
afternoons. Ocean conditions were comfortable, minimal
swells with water temperatures ranging from 86 to 88
degrees. Supplies of sardinas remained plentiful off
of the La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos area. There are
now a couple of low pressure areas off to the west of
the peninsula, but they are too far west to cause any
concern, though with the water temperatures so high
there still is a chance of a late season storm
developing within striking range.
The fishing action continued to be dominated by
yellowfin tuna and dorado. The recent trend has been
that the bite has been more scattered and everyday
action is being found in new locations. Fleets have
been fishing from areas off the Pacific, Chileno, Red
Hill, Palmilla, Gordo Banks, La Fortuna and Iman
Banks. The fishing action has been more consistent
within several miles of shore than it has far
offshore. Trolling or drifting with the smaller baits
has been more productive than dragging lures. The
majority of the tuna being caught have ranged from 10
to 20 pounds, some specimens up to fifty pounds have
been mixed in with the same schools. Other anglers
reported having monster strikes by yellowfin that
could have topped the 200-pound mark, but these fish
came unbuttoned.
Schooling dorado were found spread out throughout the
areas, early in the week was particularly good for
them. Most of the fish were in the 5 to 15 pound
class, with a few bulls over 30 pounds accounted for.
They were striking on trolled lures, but a higher
percentage of strikes came while trolling with bait.
More numbers of sailfish moved onto the local fishing
grounds, apparently attracted by the warmer water and
abundant baitfish schools. Most of the sailfish were
hitting on sardinas that were being used to target
tuna or dorado and they were weighing in the 60 to 90
pound range.
Other billfish action was better off of Cabo San Lucas
area, with a mix of striped and blue marlin being
found. Striped marlin were outnumbering the blues.
A few nice sized yellowtails to 35 pounds were taken
while using chunk bait on the Gordo Banks, also a
handful of dogtooth snapper up to 30 pounds were
hooked into using the same method. A mix of pargo,
cabrilla and rainbow runners rounded out the action on
the offshore banks. Inshore a few of the season’s
first sierra were being found, despite the water still
being in the upper 80s. As the water temperature drop
we anticipate greater numbers of the sierra to move
into inshore waters.
The combined panga fleets from La Playita sent out
approximately 144 charters for the week, with anglers
accounting for: 28 sailfish, 1,296 yellowfin tuna, 288
dorado, 18 dogtooth snapper, 12 amberjack, 18 grouper,
80 miscellaneous pargo, 15 rainbow runners, 36
triggerfish, 7 yellowtail, 5 wahoo, 1,730 skipjack and
75 bonito.
Good Fishing, Eric
