The billfish catching is still pretty good for those boats that are focusing on that fishery and the fish are seemingly contained, for the most part, from Cabeza de Ballena, to Punta Gorda. The average catch was a billfish per boat fished day. Most of the boatts got back on some of the re-grouped yellowfin tuna, adding to the daily catches. High boat for the week was the "Fish Cabo I", reflecting 7 stripers released for 3 fishing days, along with 27 yellowfin tuna. This was followed by the "Gaviota V", reflecting 7 stripers for 5 fishing days, along with 25 yellowfin and 6 dorado. Overall counts for 25 combined fishing days for Gaviota Fleet & Fish Cabo boats reflected 21 stripers, (18 released) 17 dorado and 126 yellowfin tuna, (school fish in the 12-18 lb. ranges).

Cabo Climate: Partly cloudy days with temps from 67 nights to 91 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Hard temperature break at Cabo Falso, north to south, with 65 on the Pacific side and 75 on the Sea of Cortez side. From Cabo To Gorda Banks and out 10-15 miles, temps at 72 to 76, with temps decreasing farther offshore.

Best Fishing Area: Early in the reporting week was Cabeza de Ballena and as the week progressed, the fishing moved up toward Punta Gorada.

Best Bait/Lure: Most of the billfish were taken on live bait, and if one had mackerel, it was surely best but Caballitos were doing OK, too

Live Bait Supply: Mostly caballitos with occasional mackerel.
