Cabo San Lucas Fish Report- The Gaviota Sportfishing Fleet and Fish Cabo Fleet

9-18-2009
Larry Edwards

While the billfish catches are not quite up to par and reflecting about a 33% catch rate, the dorado action continues to be in good shape and provides a couple of quality fish per fishing day. Also, the yellowfin tuna bite is picking up some steam and the Fish Cabo Fleet reported a 195 lb. yellowfin taken this week, which would probably bode very well for the upcoming Tuna Tournament. Overall fish counts for 30 days fished reflected 13 stripers, 1 wahoo, 36 yellowfin tuna and 65 dorado.

Cabo Climate: Partly cloudy days with temps from 76 nights to 94 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Very good water temps throughout the area and ranging from 85 on the Golden Gate Bank and gradually climbing to 88 degrees at the Gorada Banks.

Best Fishing Area: Continues to be on the Pacific side in the Golden Gate Bank area.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait continues to be most productive for the billfish, dorado and larger tuna.

Live Bait Supply: Mostly caballitos at the regular $3.00 per bait charge.
