Fish Report for 7-3-2002

The Cabo San Lucas Fish Report- The Gaviota Sportfishing Fleet and The Fish Cabo Fleet

7-3-2002
Larry Edwards

While still an awful lot of billfish throughout the Cabo area, they remain stubborn and don't want to cooperate. High boat for the week was the "Gaviota V", reflecting 8 stripers released for 4 fishing days. The combined fishing reports for the Gaviota & Fish Cabo Fleets, reporting for a total of 47 fished days, reflected 38 stripers, (35 released) 42 yellowfin tuna and 8 dorado.

Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny and warm with temps that ranged from 73 nights to 95 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Cabo to San Jose Del Cabo reflected temps from 76-78. Water temps progressively got warmer the farther into the Sea of Cortez, with temps rising to 80-81 by Gorda Banks.

Best Fishing Area: There are 1-day hot spots that give up some fish but by the next day, they move into a different area and the boat has to search again.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait has been a must, albeit, a few fish are being taken on the arttificials.

Live Bait Supply: Remains good this past week.
