| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

Anglers
As we enter the later part of the spring season, we are enjoying the ideal
weather conditions, still slightly cool in the evenings and early morning,
though the days have been clear, with warm sunshine up near the 90 degree
mark. Winds settled down this week, but continued to be somewhat
unpredictable. Ocean temperature has been averaging in the upper 70s from
Cabo San Lucas towards the East Cape. Clean blue water is now found within
a mile or two of shore. Schools of bolito are showing on the fishing
grounds towards the north of Punta Gorda, this is always a favorable sign
to attract more gamefish into the area.
Though the fishing action has not been off the map red hot, there has been
good variety and some quality species are being accounted for. Live bait
remains limited, moonfish and limited caballito were available and ballyhoo
has been another option. We expect to see more schooling mullet arriving
anytime. Charters have been mixing things up with the various options now
available, from inshore trolling, to working the bottom structure and then
offshore, which has not meant having to travel very far out.
Inshore the roosterfish were dominating the action, with nicer sized fish
to 30 and 40 pounds now being landed daily, while trolling live baits along
the shore, just outside the surf zone, a few jack crevalle have also been
hooked into, as well as a handful of late season sierra.
Striped marlin has been the main species found offshore, once again these
fish were found very close in, within a mile or two, straight outside the
Puerto Los Cabos Marina entrance. Anglers were drift fishing with the
available live baits, fly ling and using sinkers to soak the baits deeper.
In this same area some marlin could be seen free jumping and occasionally
feeding on the surface. Striped marlin could be found throughout the
region, certain grounds did have larger concentrations. There were a few
marlin even hooked into while bottom fishing with yo-yo style jigs, not an
everyday occurrence. Dorado were found sporadically, no hot spot to find
them on a daily basis. More juvenile sized fish were now found north
towards San Luis and Vinormama, lots of small females that should be
released with care so that they are able to mature.
Wahoo remain on the fishing grounds, actually seen at times in fair sized
schools, roaming the inshore structure, getting them to bite as always is
another matter, a few were hooked on yo-yo jigs and others hit the trolled
Rapalas, sizes ranged up to 35 pounds. A few more yellowfin tuna are now
being accounted for, blind strikes on lures or ballyhoo on the grounds to
the north, and also a few fish to 20 pounds were accounted for off of the
Gordo Banks. There were sizable schools of tuna seen feeding on these same
banks, but they would disappear as fast as they showed, feeding on the
available food source and not much interested in anything else, the few
yellowfin that were taken, hit on strips of squid.
Off the bottom there was a chance at variety, including bonito, amberjack,
cabrilla, pargo, grouper and even a yellowtail or two. Though there were no
big numbers of any particular species being accounted for. Amberjack to 70
pounds were landed, grouper to 40 pounds, yellowtail and dogtooth snapper
to 30 pounds, all quality specimens, striking on baits or yo-yo jigs. One
day a certain spot would produce action and then the next day the same spot
could be dead, also sea lions continue to be present and are causing havoc
for anglers.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 81 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 4 sailfish, 2 thrasher shark, 11 yellowfin
tuna, 48 striped marlin, 9 wahoo, 4 yellowtail, 17 amberjack, 5 grouper, 13
cabrilla, 14 jack crevalle, 12 sierra, 29 dorado, 4 dogtooth snapper, 82
bonito and 45 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
