Stop by Our Office for up to Date Fishing Report.
Fishing has Picked up this Past Week and Jc is Really Happy!!
Jc 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. Well lets get on with the fishing report for this past week.
WEATHER: Well a lot of hot overcast pretty humid days we have been experiencing this past week. Some days have been pretty clear but most days are little cloudy. We even had some midsummer rain yesterday in parts of Cabo and it looks as if the sierras are getting lots of rain every day. Today as I write report it is humid and overcast and I doubt if this type of weather will affect the fishing to much but it has been kinda miserable in the humidity. The season has been one of the hottest I can remember as it has been like September weather all summer and we haven’t even got to September yet, oh well!!
WATER: The water temperature is holding and is really warm on the Sea of Cortez side but according to Tempbreak it has cooled a bit on the Pacific side if you look at the Tempbreak map you will see the water is cooler on Pacific side a bit which is normal but you can see the contrast. Go to Tempbreak.com to check out map. http://www.tempbreak.com/index.php?&cwregion=cb
TUNA: Tuna fishing is very slow and they are still catching like football size fish, which isn’t good. I don’t know when Mexico is going to wake up and start protecting the sport fishing and all the tourist dollars that come into the area because of fishing. It seems no one is thinking of the long term affects this will have on the tourist and sport fishing industry. Not only that the sport fishing and tourist industry employee many, many families here in Los Cabos
BILLFISH: The Billfishing has turned around big time and now we are past the full moon and we are catching good numbers of Sailfish and Striped Marlin and even a few nice Blue Marlin this week. The are catching most of the fish 1 to 8 miles offshore from the 95 spot up to San Jamie Banks with most of the Striped Marlin being caught by pitching bait and ballyhoo. The Sailfish and Blue Marlin on the other hand have been landed using lures and slow trolled skip jacks.
DORADO: The Dorado fishing has been very steady with some fish 12lb to 30lb and most caught real close to the beach. The fish have been caught from the Pump House to Rancho Magrino on lures and when you find them use some cut bait. Please if you are catching baby Dorado throw them back for another day. You will be surprised how fast they will grow over a year. If they aren’t over 10 pounds you might think about throwing them back.
INSHORE: The inshore fishing has been great for the kids with lots of Skip Jack being pulled out of the water and this is really fun when you can run into them but as far as eating fish I don’t think they are that great. They do put up a good fight and there is some good action in catching them. They have also been catching lots of small Dorado and a few Roosters with some being pretty nice size. The Roosters have been landed by slow trolling live bait from Solmar up to the Pump House and if you are going to fish for Roosters you will need a lot of live bait as they are good at stealing your bait. The live baits are $3.00 a piece and please remember to let the baby Dorado go and swim for another day.
WAHOO: The Wahoo fishing has picked up and we did land a 60lb fish on one of our boats and you can see the a picture of the fish on the home page of my website. The fish was caught on jet heads and it was a blind strike, my favorite but im weird!!!

BEWARE: Please beware of the guys in the street selling boat charters. 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. http://www.jcsportfishing.com http://youtu.be/tSXN6pifQyQ
