Cabo San Lucas Fish Report- The Gaviota Sportfishing Fleet and Fish Cabo Fleet
8-20-2009
Larry Edwards
The boats continue to produce billfish at an average rate of one
per boat day fished and rounding out the catches with a few dorado
and yellowfin tuna. Hi count boat for the week was the "Gaviota
IV", with Captain Octavio Castillo, reflecting 5 stripers for two
fishing days and closely followed by the "Fish Cabo I", reflecting
5 stripers, 8 dorado and 3 yellowfin tuna for 3 fishing days. The
overall combined fish counts for 33 days fished reflected 30
stripers, (28 released) 23 yellowfin tuna and 49 dorado.
Cabo Climate: Hot days, cooler nights, temps from 77 nights to 101
daytime highs and partly cloudy.
Sea Conditions: Good throughout the area with temperatures stable
at 85-86 degrees and good clarity.
Best Fishing Area: Continues to be on the Pacific side of the
peninsula with the Golden Gate & Jaime Banks being the "hot spots"
for all of the fish. This is fairly unusual for this time of year
as the Sea of Cortez side has historically been the best fishing
area during August.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait is best for the billfish and dorado with
quite a few fish being taken on the live bait dropped back on the
billfish chasing the artificial and after a dorado is already
hooked-up. The tuna were primarily taken on the tuna feathers this
week and most were the school sized fish to about 25-30 lbs.
Live Bait Supply: Remains very good at this time.
