Cabo San Lucas Fish Report- The Gaviota Sportfishing Fleet and Fish Cabo Fleet
10-29-2009
Larry Edwards
It appears that the fishing turn-around has taken place in Cabo San
Lucas, following the residual effects of Hurricane Rick. Largest
fish for the week was taken by Colorado angler, Chris Turner, fishing
aboard the "Fish Cabo I", with Captain Christian Lopez. Following a
75 minute battle, Mr. Turner landed a 350 blue marlin on 60 lb. test
line, trolling an unnamed artificial, just above the Golden Gate
Bank. The fish would have qualified and was taken on the first day
of the Bisbee Tournament, but the client was not in the event. We
saw an increase of yellowfin tuna this week with fish in the
respectable 60 lb. class coming from the area near the Jaime Bank.
Overall combined fish counts for the 49 fishing days reflected 2 blue
marlin, 13 stripers, 3 sailfish, 45 yellowfin tuna and 181 dorado.
Cabo Climate: Back to sunny and warm days with temps from 68 nights
to a pleasant 84 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Very fishable in most any direction with the
mainstay of the boats fishing on the Pacific side of Cabo. Temps
ranged from 79-82 on the Pacific side and climbed to 83-84 on the
Gorda Banks side.
Best Fishing Area: The Pacific side, especially the Golden Gate and
the Jaime Bank.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait was best for the billfish, albeit, the
bigger blue marlin was taken on an artificial at the upper edge of
the Golden Gate Bank.
Live Bait Supply: Mostly caballitos and a good supply.
