Another very interesting fishing week in the very hot weather of Cabo San Lucas. The billfish counts were a 50-50 catch ratio and the \"Gaviota VIII\", skippered by Captain Juan Dominguez, was high boat for the week with 3 billfish for 3 days fished. The water temps are up and there has been a few blue marlin strikes, but the summer fishing is lagging for this time of year. Overall fish counts for 24 days fished reflected 12 stripers, (3 released) 10 dorado, 2 roosterfish and 65 yellowfin tuna.

Cabo Climate: Starting to sizzle with hot days and warm nights, 77 to 101.

Sea Conditions: Temps are rising and currently at 83 from the Golden Gate to Cabo and then, rising to 86 at the Gorda Banks.

Best Fishing Area: Scattered fish throughout the area, from Southwest of Cabo and into the Sea of Cortez, with no real concentration. Tuna running with the porpoise and changing from day to day.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait is best, especially for the billfish. Tuna mostly on the feathers.

Live Bait Supply: Very difficult and almost not available.
