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 don’t 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 a fishing
license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your
charter boat. We will be talking more about this in the 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.

YELLOWFIN TUNA:
The yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a species of tuna found in
pelagic waters of tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide.
Yellowfin is often marketed as ahi, from the Hawaiian ʻahi, a name also
used there for the closely related bigeye tuna. The species name,
albacares (“white meat”) can also lead to confusion: in English, the
albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) is a different species, while yellowfin
is officially designated albacore in French and referred to as albacora
by Portuguese fishermen.
The yellowfin tuna is among the larger tuna species, reaching weights
over 180 kg (400 lb), but is significantly smaller than the Atlantic and
Pacific bluefin tunas, which can reach over 450 kg (990 lb), and
slightly smaller than the bigeye tuna and the southern bluefin tuna.
The second dorsal fin and the anal fin, as well as the finlets between
those fins and the tail, are bright yellow, giving this fish its common
name. The second dorsal and anal fins can be very long in mature
specimens, reaching almost as far back as the tail and giving the
appearance of sickles or scimitars. The pectoral fins are also longer
than the related bluefin tuna, but not as long as those of the albacore.
The main body is a very dark metallic blue, changing to silver on the
belly, which has about 20 vertical lines.
Reported sizes in the literature have ranged as high as 2.4 m (94 in) in
length and 200 kg (440 lb) in weight. In 2012, a fisherman in Baja
California caught a 193-kg yellowfin. If the catch is confirmed by the
IGFA, the fisherman will receive a prize of $1 million.
Yellowfin tuna are epipelagic fish that inhabit the mixed surface layer
of the ocean above the thermocline. Sonic tracking has found that
although yellowfin tuna, unlike the related bigeye tuna, mostly range in
the top 100 m (330 ft) of the water column and penetrate the thermocline
relatively infrequently, they are capable of diving to considerable
depths. An individual tagged in the Indian Ocean with an archival tag
spent 85% of its time in depths shallower than 75 m (246 ft), but was
recorded as having made three dives to 578, 982, and 1,160 m (3,810 ft).
Although mainly found in deep offshore waters, yellowfin tuna may
approach shore when suitable conditions exist. Mid-ocean islands such as
the Hawaiian archipelago, other island groups in the Western Pacific,
Caribbean, and Maldives islands Indian Ocean, as well as the volcanic
islands of the Atlantic such as Ascension Island and Saint Helena, often
harbor yellowfin feeding on the baitfish these spots concentrate close
to the shoreline. Yellowfin may venture well inshore of the continental
shelf when water temperature and clarity are suitable and food is
abundant.
Yellowfin tuna often travel in schools with similarly sized companions.
They sometimes school with other tuna species and mixed schools of small
yellowfin, and skipjack tuna, in particular, are commonplace. They are
often associated with various species of dolphins or porpoises, as well
as with larger marine creatures such as whales and whale sharks. They
also associate with drifting flotsam such as logs and pallets, and sonic
tagging indicates some follow moving vessels. Hawaiian yellowfins
associate with anchored fish aggregation devices and with certain
sections of the 50-fathom curve.
Yellowfin tuna prey include other fish, pelagic crustaceans, and squid.
Like all tunas, their body shape is particularly adapted for speed,
enabling them to pursue and capture fast-moving baitfish such as flying
fish, sauries, and mackerel. Schooling species such as myctophids or
lanternfish and similar pelagic driftfish, anchovies, and sardines are
frequently taken. Large yellowfins prey on smaller members of the tuna
family such as frigate mackerel and skipjack tuna.
In turn, yellowfin are preyed upon when young by other pelagic hunters,
including larger tuna, seabirds, and predatory fishes such as wahoo,
shark, and billfish. Adults are threatened only by the largest and
fastest hunters, such as toothed whales, particularly the false killer
whale, pelagic sharks such as the mako and great white, large Atlantic
blue marlin and Pacific blue marlin, and black marlin. The main source
of mortality, however, is industrial tuna fisheries.
Yellowfins are able to escape most predators, because unlike most fish,
tuna are warm-blooded, and their warm muscles make them extremely strong
swimmers, with yellowfin tuna reaching “speeds of up to 50 miles per
hour”. (They can navigate enormous distances, sometimes crossing entire
oceans.)
