<\/a><\/p>\nThis past week we saw more crowds of tourists traveling to the Los Cabos
\nresort destination, airport activity was bustling and patience was
\nnecessary to get through International Customs. Lots of visitors, escaping
\nthe cold wintry conditions across much of the United States, despite this
\ninflux of people, not a high percentage of them were anglers and
\nsportfishing fleets reported that though the fishing was very good, there
\nwere not many numbers of charters going out. That time of year, off season
\nnow for certain pelagic gamefish, spring time will be here soon enough.<\/p>\n
Weather patterns were unpredictable, going from cold, cloudy, rainy, windy,
\nto calm and quite warm, up to 90 degrees. Now we are starting the new month
\nand as the local saying goes, \u201cFebrero loco and Marzo otro poco\u201d.Translated
\nto \u201cCrazy February and March even more\u201d.
\nActually in recent days the water clarity improved along the stretches
\nnorth of Punta Gorda, ocean temperatures have dropped now into the 70\/74
\ndegree range, which might still be slightly higher than normal seasonal
\naverages. Last week anglers were dealing with a challenging situation,
\nhaving to wait for long as two hours for supplies of live sardinas to be
\ndelivered. Problem was that the baitfish schools shifted with the currents,
\nin the direction of Cabo San Lucas, near Santa Maria, pangeros netters
\nworked in the surf zone to net sardinas and then motor back to Puerto Los
\nCabos, where charters would obtain bait and head to the more productive
\nnorthern fishing grounds. Bait supplies are no longer as abundant as in
\nprevious decades, more patience is needed, or later departure times
\narranged, there were not many options available for anglers to catch fish
\nwhile waiting for this bait to arrive. Local pangeros were forced to
\nregroup and now have found sardinas schooling north, near San Luis and
\nVinorama, they are hauling supplies to meet local sportfishing charters on
\nthe grounds such as La Fortuna, Iman and Cardon.<\/p>\n
Yellowfin tuna are hanging around late into the season, or maybe this is
\nthe start of the new season, results will be dictated on what exactly
\nhappens with the ocean conditions and various food sources preferred by the
\ngamefish. Spotty action, depending on what the weather and currents
\nallowed. Tuna are being encountered on various grounds, most not far from
\nshore, including the Gordo Banks, to La Fortuna, Iman and Vinorama. The
\nbite was at random, sometimes early and often later in the morning, major
\nissue with sea lions on other days. Average tuna was in the 15 to 30 lb.,
\nthough the larger grade of fish was still lurking around the Gordo Banks,
\nfavorite choices for bait was sardinas or squid strips.<\/p>\n
Dorado were found in decent numbers, La Fortuna and Cardon were good spots,
\nfish ranging to 20 lbs., a handful even larger, slowly trolling or drift
\nfishing with sardinas was a good bet, watch out for needlefish and skipjack.<\/p>\n
Not much reported off the bottom, a mix of pargo, cabrilla, bonito and
\ntriggerfish for the few anglers that gave it a try when weather and
\ncurrents allowed. Inshore action continued to be dominated by sierra,
\nstriking most readily on sardinas and earlier in the day, also some jack
\ncrevalle and juvenile roosterfish roaming the shoreline, remember to
\nrelease these roosterfish, as they are a prized fighting gamefish that are
\nonly encountered and a limited natural range and need to be protected.<\/p>\n
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
\nMarina sent out approximately 52 charters for the week, with anglers
\nreporting a fish count of: 5 striped marlin, 76 yellowfin tuna, 220 sierra,
\n18 roosterfish, 88 dorado, 20 bonito, 16 cabrilla, 34 various pargo and
\nsnapper species, 10 jack crevalle and 8 amberjack.<\/p>\n
Good fishing, Eric<\/p>\n
