San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
May 13, 2018
We continue to see lighter than normal
crowds of tourists for this time of
year. As we move closer towards the
summer season the weather patterns are
now progressively warming, mostly clear
sunny skies, with some marine layer
offshore at times, average morning lows
of about 70 degrees with the highs in
the mid to upper 80s. Actually great
climate now, plenty warm, but not
overwhelming, as it can become during
peak summer time. With light crowds,
ideal weather and a variety of fishing
options it is now the perfect time to
visit.
As usual we are dealing with
unpredictable and rapidly changing
ocean conditions during this transition
period. Ocean currents have been
sweeping in from different directions,
at times turning the water a bit
greenish, but this is the common
scenario in May. Ocean temperatures
have ranged from 67 degree on the
Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, up to
78 degrees in the direction of Los
Frailes. Winds were moderate this past
week, picking up a bit stronger late
week, but overall much nicer than the
previous week.
Anglers were able to obtain sufficient
supplies of sardinas, also some
caballito, mullet and chihuil baitfish
being used. The most productive fishing
grounds locally continue to be from La
Fortuna to Iman Bank. This is where
both the sporadic bottom action for
various snapper, pargo species were
found, as well as yellowfin tuna on the
surface, tuna bite was dead to start
off the week, picking up again on
Thursday and Friday. The yellowfin were
striking mainly on the sardinas, using
40 to 50 lb. leaders, some boats landed
up to three fish in the 15 to 55 lb.
range. Only a handful of smaller sized
dorado were seen and reports of a few
wahoo seen or possible missed strikes,
none actually landed that we heard
about, except from East Cape charters
fishing closer to Los Frailes.
There was a day or two early in the
week when there were reports of
amberjack and some yellowtail found
feeding near the surface off of
Palmilla Point, but that action
disappeared as fast as it had
developed. For the most part the better
bottom action was found from the Gordo
Banks, where if you could chum up some
chihuil baits, these were working well
off the high spot for leopard grouper
and others, if the sea lions were not
too aggressive. Closer to shore off of
Cardon and La Fortuna anglers found
good early morning action for yellow
snapper, with some leopard grouper and
an occasional amberjack mixed n. Most
of this bottom action was on bait, only
limited success now on the yo-yo jigs.
Billfish action was scattered, only a
few striped marlin being found
scattered offshore, no particular hot
spot. Inshore there were more numbers
of smaller sized roosterfish showing
up, also good action on sierra closer
to the Pacific and of course some jack
crevalle actively patrolling the
shoreline. In the coming weeks we do
expect to see greater concentrations of
mullet to show and this in turn
attracts the trophy sized roosterfish,
as well as other pargo, snapper and
jack species.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 66 charters for
this week. Anglers reported a fish
count of: 3 striped marlin, 4 dorado,
26 yellowfin tuna, 45 yellow snapper, 7
surgeon fish, 28 spotted rose snapper,
23 cabrilla (leopard grouper), 15
huachinango (red snapper), 12 bonito, 9
amberjack, 5 yellowtail, 11 barred
pargo, 34 roosterfish, 8 jack crevalle,
8 sierra, 15 flag cabrilla, 8 grunt and
90 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
