Historically, anglers tend to expect difficult fishing during the month of March from Cabo San Lucas, and there's just no reason to change that trend. Finally, we have reached a time frame that I can honestly say to anglers, March is normally the toughest month of the year. It's a time when the water temps tend to fall throughout the area and the water color seems to lose some of it's clarity. On the plus side, it's normally the time of year when the swordfish start to show up in the area, and while we haven't seen'em yet, they will mostly likely be appearing at any time now. The "Gaviota II" had half the billfsh count for the week, releasing 4 stripers for 3 fishing days, less than 10 miles from the harbor. Overall fish counts for a combined total of 22 days fished reflected 8 stripers released, 5 dorado, 42 yellowfin tuna, 27 Humbolt Squid, 7 roosterfish and 57 Sierra.

Cabo Climate: Partly cloudy days and temps from 58 nights to 80 daytime highs.
Sea Condittions: Prevailing NW wind at 12-15 knots cooled off the surface temps on the Pacific side. Temps ranged from 70 at the Golden Gate Bank and slowly escalated to 73 degrees at the Gorda Bank. However, offshore and to the southeast of Cabo at about 20 miles, the water temp increased to 75 and had a cleaner blue to it.

Best Fishing Area: There is no concentration anywhere, but it did seem like most of the fish, (all kinds) were coming from the Pacific side of Cabo.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait for the billfish was best, feathers and cedar plugs worked well for the yellowfin tuna.
Live Bait Supply: Good supply of caballitos.
