2-26-2009
Larry Edwards
The billfish catches rebounded this week at the Golden Gate Bank, but
marlin stragglers were caught in a number of areas from the Golden
Gate to the 95 Fathom Spot, too. High boat for the week was again
the "Gaviota VIII", skippered by Captain Juan Dominguez, with a total
of 23 stripers for 6 days fished. Overall combined fish counts for a
total of 53 days fished reflected 99 stripers, (86 releases) 1 Mako
shark, 1 wahoo, 6 yellowfin tuna and 76 dorado. The dorado were
mostly in the 15-25 lb. ranges with an occasional fish out to about
50 lbs.
Cabo Climate: A few clouds during the week but mostly sunny and warm
with temps from 63 nights to 88 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Overall, excellent! Light surface winds, 8-10
knots, warm water from above the Golden Gate Bank around tto Red
Hills, (just below Las Frailes) at 74-75 degrees and warming to 77
degrees at the thousand fathom curve.
Best Fishing Area: Billfish still at the Golden Gate Bank and dorado
on both sides of the peninsula
Best Lure/Bait: Live mackerel still the best bait for the billfish
with a few taken on artificials. Dorado taken on both, live bait and
marlin lures.
Live Bait Supply: Remains very good with a mix of caballitos and
mackerel and replenishment of the mackerel is still available at the
Golden Gate Bank.
