Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report
1-6-2011
Larry Edwards
It was another week of interesting fishing results that seemed to
keep the focus on the inshore fishing and again reflecting the Sierra
as the dominant "fish of the week" species. The sea conditions are
changing by the day and appears to be moving into the annual
transitional period when the cooler waters show up throughout the
area. Presently, the only warmer waters run on a north-south temp
break line from just outside the Golden Gate Bank and Jaime Bank on
the Pacific side, moving inshore and wrapping Cabo San Lucas and
extending up to the Gorda Banks. North of the Gorda Banks and into
the Sea of Cortez, the sea temps are falling below 70 degrees, which
is more typical of late February and March. These changing currents
tend to make fishing much more difficult, especially for the
billfish, dorado and wahoo. Our current fishing report for a
combined total of 20 days reflects 3 stripers released, (2 aboard the
"Gaviota VII" and 1 aboard the "Fish Cabo") 7 dorado, 29 yellowfin
tuna (20 of these fish were taken by "Tuna Time" and in the 20-35 lb.
ranges) 20 skipjack tuna, 1 mako shark, 3 jack cravelle, 2
roosterfish and 74 Sierra.
Cabo Climate: Mostly cloudy and cool days (at least for Cabo) and colder nights with temps from 54 nights to 75 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Constant changing of temps throughout the area on both sides of the peninsula that range from 66-71 degrees and clarity changes from blue outside the Jaime Bank to clean green in all other areas.
Best Fishing Area: Pozo Cota on the Pacific side was best for the billfish and the Sierra and roosterfish from the white, sandy beaches from Cabo Falso to Pozo Cota.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait best for the marlin, dorado and roosterfish. Tuna best on feathers and cedar plugs. Sierra on small silver spoons & small rapalas and sardinas, when available.
Bait Supply: Mixed bait with some caballito and mackerel and assorted other species that normally don't work as well as the caballitos and mackerel.
