Stop by Our Office for up to Date Fishing Report.
JC’s Sportfishing Charters is a family owned and operated business and has been fishing in Cabo San Lucas for the past 18 years. Jerry, explains that his charter business is geared more for families and novice anglers, making sure everyone who charters a boat with him have a great time and lots of fun. We welcome families, and groups. We want everyone who fishes with us to take all the sites in and have memorable experience. This is what is most important to us. We have and do a few tournaments each year and can cater to fisherman who might be interested in tournament fishing. Lets get on with the report for this past week.
WATER: The water has been really nice and blue as of lately with water temperatures in the lower 80,s to high 70,s. With the calm weather and sunny days we expect the water to stay nice with swells 1 to 3 feet on the Sea of Cortez side and 2 to 4 feet on the pacific side. WEATHER: The weather has been great really with lots of sun and light breezes. Really one of the best times of year to be in Cabo as it is starting to cool down at night and the day time highs are in the mid to upper 80,s and lows dropping down to low 70,s to ladder 60,s.
BILLFISHING: Well the Marlin fishing is good and as you can see there has been some good size fish caught over this past week. I am not a big fan of the fishing tournaments and I know it brings in lots of revenue to the local economy but it sure isn’t good for the Marlin by no means. There was some big fish caught this year and I am really happy for some of my friends who did very well in the tournament by catching a 778 pound Marlin but are we really doing and thinking since these fish take years and years to get to that size and when we take one and kill it its similar to chopping down the Redwood forest. When these fish are gone there gone they will never be another one like it and they don’t grow back that fast. I am starting to wonder if our oceans can sustain this sort of thing. I am not sure the oceans can keep up with what is being taken from them and I am wondering what is going to be left for my kids and theres. Well enough of this rambling I think each and everyone of us has to make our own decisions on preserving our oceans and future.
Lots of Blue Marlin being caught this past week from Gordo Banks all the way to the Golden Gate and it seems the fish are taking lures, live bait and even some rigged Ballyhoo. Good numbers of Striped Marlin taken off the Arch 2 to 5 miles and all the way up to San Jamie Banks and were taken on lures and pitching live bait.
BAIT: Bait is the standard 3.00 dollars a piece and there has been plenty around:
DORADO: Still lots od Dorado around mostly inshore but there really all over the place. You can run into them about anywhere now from the Gordo Banks to up around Saint Jamie on the pacific side. Most are being caught with lures, Ballyhoo and cut bait. If you want Dorado now you shouldn’t be disappointed.
TUNA: Some Tuna reports 18 miles off of the Light House mingling with the Porpoise. There has been a few caught using cedar plugs and striker kings in the 200lbs range. Then there is the typical football size Tuna closer to shore but there have been some Tuna around the fishing area but if you really want a big Tuna you will have to run out a few miles to land anything of any size.
INSHORE: The best inshore fishing has been really plenty of Dorado and some striped Marlin from Gray Rock to the Pump House. There has also been some Roosterfish reported but mostly smaller Dorado. The Pangas are the ones scoring pretty good numbers of fish so you might consider renting a Panga if you want to get in on the inshore action. In general it has been really good.
WAHOO: The Wahoo bite has slowed down some since last week not near the number of Wahoo this week. Rapalas and Maraders lures were catching the fish this week at about a quarter mile off of Solmar all the way up to Los Arcos. BEWARE: Remember if your not renting charter boats from companies who have been established in Cabo for the past 20 years ( Jc sport Fishing, Pisces Sport Fishing, Minervas, Redrum, Picante Fleet) you might have problems. They don’t even have an office you can go and confirm your charter boat. You do not want to spend a day walking around looking for the boat and where you board. If you wait till the day you are fishing and go to the dock where your boat is many times people will mislead you to another boat or dock trying to put you on a boat that was not meant for you. You need to have a person guide you to your boat, who is from a reputable charter company. This way there is no confusion or misleading. Please remember when renting Sport fishing boats in Cabo that you rent your boat from reputable and established business. Walk into a fishing fleet office and ask questions about what you are getting and what are the costs? You dont want to rent boats from vendors in the streets and you do not want to book through shady websites offering you the world. Check through travel forums about reputable fishing fleets to deal with. Look for testimonials about the fleet your booking your charter with. Ask about what will the boat be supplying? Will it include beverages or lunches? How much does it cost to fillet your catch? Check to see if charter boat is insured? Ask about getting your catch smoked? Check cost of fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon. Come by the office here in Cabo and get all the latest up to date fishing report.
