Cabo San Lucas Fish Report

The wide open billfish bite on the Golden Gate that began last November seems to have finally come to a close. Now we are most likely going to be doing the normal fishing, casting live bait in front of tailing fish as they move through the area. With the water cooling down and turning a bit green, we might expect to see a few swordfish in the next few weeks.
There has been very little yellowfin tuna action with only a few fish being reported for the entire fleet. Most of the dorado action is in the warmer waters on the Cortez side and inshore most of the fish taken were in the 12 to 15 pound class with a few larger ones up to 40 pounds occasionally found offshore.
Sierra and yellowtail continued to dominate the inshore action. While not large, the sierra were in great numbers once the schools were located. Though not in great numbers, a few yellowtail have been showing up in the fish boxes of the pangas. Most of them were firecracker-sized fish in the 8 to 10 pound class, but there were a few to 25 pounds and an occasional large fish that could not be stopped. Added to the mix of fish caught were the occasional pargo and amberjack as well as some small roosterfish. The fishing action has mostly been inshore, but there were some days when the bonito averaged 15 pounds and provided a good fight on the right gear when fishing offshore.
