With the official start of the spring season now less than two weeks away the recent patterns have been rapidly changing and unpredictable. Last weekend there was scattered rainfall, then wind from the north, switching out of the south, but considering the time of year that it is the weather has been more than acceptable. Days are reaching close to 80 degrees, mostly sunny skies and within weeks there will be consistently warmer days and the worst of the winds should reside.
The water temperatures are averaging 72 to 74 degrees, strong currents continue to affect the clarity in certain areas. Anglers found a mix of species on the local fishing grounds. Most consistent action was found closer to shore for sierra, striking best on sardinas, with a few smaller sized roosterfish and dorado also accounted for from the same stretches. Sardinas were available in limited quantities, these baitfish are most prevalent inshore near Vinormama, which is a long run for the commercial fleet. Caballito, mackerel and giant squid are also being found locally, but quantities often changed from day to day.
In recent days there was improved action found for striped marlin off of the San Jose del Cabo region, this is the time of year typically where more of these migrating billfish move in the direction towards the Sea of Cortez. Also there were reports of a couple of swordfish being hooked into near the 95 spot, that would be interesting if something developed with that, it has been many years since any significant bite happened for the daytime swords off of the Cabo area.
The wahoo bite that occurred off of Punta Gorda late last week faded out as quickly as it had developed was fun for the anglers that did get in on it, a bonus during late winter time when these speedsters are normally not even found in local waters.
Yellowfin tuna continue to be scarce, but some schooling yellowfin have been encountered traveling with pods of porpoise, this has been hit or miss, fish that were found this way were mostly in the 10 to 20 pound size, this action should improve as spring time arrives. A handful of nicer sized tuna in the 60 to 80 pound class were accounted for by dedicated local pangeros seriously putting in the extra effort on either the Iman or Gordo Banks. Their technique was to jig up a few giant squid early in the morning and then use them as chum and chunk baits for drifted over the structure where some of these nicer grade of yellowfin were holding.
The bottom action showed significant improvement the past few days, mainly for anglers willing to work yo-yo jigs off the rock piles, amberjack to 30 pounds were becoming more common, with a few grouper and cabrilla in the mix. Palmilla Point became a hot spot in recent days, with the word getting out there has also been more pressure on this relatively smaller area. Huachinango, or the true Pacific Red Snapper are becoming more prevalent, but so far mainly for the commercial panga fleet using either intestinal parts or even eye balls from fresh giant squid, not the normal technique, but if that is what it takes to catch these valuable fish, this is what they will do.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out approximately 69 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 2 striped marlin, 2 wahoo, 26 dorado, 9 yellowfin tuna, 38 bonito, 332 sierra, 12 roosterfish, 9 surgeon fish, 29 pargo, 7 grouper, 16 cabrilla, 2 mako shark and 56 amberjack.
Yellowtail showing at the Coronado Islands Sunday Morning
Decent show on the yellows early on Sunday morning as water temps are at or above 60 degrees. Amazing considering all the wind we have had and another great El Nino signal and sign. Stay tuned as we will have updates all day today.

Hi Folks,
On Friday Vonny-I with Beto went out for the first time in all week (bad weather) , some nice ling cods (limits) were caught on dropper loops anchovies and squid, Mark Maxwell (left) from Bowman Ga. and his friend Raymond Greenberg (right) from Anderson SC; few gallon bags of fillets for first time Baja fisherman. GOOD Fishing and NICE weather.
The World Famous EL BUDSTER goes fishing today. But is unable to catch anything. They go out looking for a school of YELLOWFIN TUNA. But are unable to find one. They fished 18 - 25 milers out from Cabo. The watrer temp. was 74 - 75 degrees.
Things are defintely getting better here in Cabo San Lucas. We are in a high 77F with very calm winds today. We had our 4 boats out Tantrum, Rum Runnin, RedBeam and Nuevo. Fishing was great! couple of Marlin, Yellowfin and Sierra was today's menu.
Aboard our 28' Tantrum was Tom Spina and Kathleen Buonarosa along with Captain Omar and Mate Juan. They started doing some inshore fishing for a while and then headed out for some more action. They reeled in 1 Marlin.
On our 32' Rum Runnin we had a shared party with Captain Javier and Mate Americo. It's funny because yesterday we had the Andre Hage and Cynthia Jenkins coming in to share a boat with someone, we didn't have anybody on our list and all of the sudden Frank Statile comes in looking to share a boat as well. They had a lot of things in common...it was a match made in Heaven! These guys went out 38 miles in the Pacific and came back with 13 Yellowfin. The biggest one was 160Lb! and was reeled in by Andre Hage! Good job to everyone on the boat!
On our 32' we had Captain Cesar and Mate Ramon fishing for half a day with Jeff Roper and his 5 buddies. They did inshore fishing and caught 10 Sierra. Very good guys!
On our 33' We had Gary Gonzalez and crew who are staying at the Portofino Condos and fishing with us for 2 more days on Nuevo along with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. These guys came back with 8 Yellowfin and 1 Marlin. I knew they'd catch something!
Hopefully they will be able to surpass their own number in the next couple of days!
Yellowfin and Marlin are back and biting well! So folks, come on down to Cabo San Lucas and fish with us, we can't guarantee you'll catch something, but we can guarantee you'll have an awesome time!
