The Mr. Tracey Thomassee party, fishing aboard the \"FISH CABO\" with Captain Gil Marquez, had a terrific day fishing inshore for the roosterfish. The group released 8 roosterfish for the morning with the two larger fish in the 50-70 lb. range and the smaller ones in the 25 lb. range. Adding to the day were a pair of dorado to 45 lbs. Billfish counts were on the slow side with about every third boat landing/releasing a marlin. Overall counts for the combined 26 fishing days reflected 8 stripers, (5 releases) 2 jack cravelle, 2 skipjack tuna, 49 yellowfin tuna 8 roosterfish and 49 dorado.

Cabo Climate: Partly cloudy days and temps that went from 71 night time lows to 99 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Cooler water swept around the corner from the Pacific & moved into the Sea of Cortez at 70-71 degrees. Water warmed offshore at about the thousand fathom curve to 79 and increased to 82 outside the Gorda Banks.

Best Fishing Area: The billfish were scattered but more fish were showing from San Jose and northerly to above the Gorda Banks area. The roosters were in close to the rocky Gorda Point area.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait was the best for both, inshore & offshore.

Live bait supply: Excellent, mostly caballitos.
