San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
February 17, 2019
Still just moderate crowds of anglers
arriving, kind of normal for this time
of year. The weather patterns seem to
on a warming trend, actually feeling
like spring already, mostly clear sunny
skies, with highs of 80 degrees. This
next week the forecast looks to be
slightly cooler, hard to predict now,
transition periods from winter to
spring, on and off changes. The water
clarity improved closer to shore this
week, water temperature seemed to warm
slightly, now in the 71 to 75 degree
range, offshore area the warmest.
Though much of the more consistent
fishing
action has been closer to shore.
There was a couple of days where
limited supplies of sardinas were
located, this was inside the marina
channel, of course the word traveled
and now we see none again, at least it
was a sign that these schooling
baitfish are moving back into the
region, needs to be some kind of
control, more preserve zones are
required as well. There re mackerel in
the area, but a little more hit or miss
from day to day, also slabs of squid,
as well as ballyhoo and chihuil are
rounding out bait options;
Highlight for the week were a handful
of yellowfin tuna that were taken off
of the Gordo Banks, drift fishing with
squid and sardinas, these tuna were in
the 80 lb. class. Also a few wahoo
biting on the grounds from Punta Gorda
to the Iman Bank, including one of
about 70 lb. on Friday. Not normally
the time of year for wahoo, but with
the conditions how they are, there are
some wahoo in the area. Not many dorado
being accounted for, but every now and
then a boat will come in with one or
two, more of these found closer to
shore, sizes up to 15 lb.
Most numerous fish were the various
bottom species, different pargo,
snapper, grouper, amberjack and even a
few smaller yellowtail in the mix. Red
snapper on pieces of squid was a good
bet in recent days, more of these under
five pounds.
Marlin bite was more spread out, but
charters are finding striped marlin off
of San Jose del Cabo grounds, as well
as the 950, 1150 spots. It appears that
many of the stripers that were on the
Pacific are now moving in the direction
of the Sea of Cortez, it is all about
following their food supply.
The combined sportfishing fleet out of
the panga area from Puerto Los Cabos
Marina reported an estimated 69
charters for the week and anglers
reported an approximate fish count of:
11 striped marlin, 22 dorado, 15
yellowfin tuna, 13 wahoo, 32 bonito,
245 red snapper, 14 bagueta, 2
sheepshead, 4 pompano, 12 leopard
grouper, 10 roosterfish, 4 yellowtail,
5 amberjack, 14 sierra and 110
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
