Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report
1-13-2011
Larry Edwards
The fluctuating water temperatures and changing currents continue to
have an effect on the fishing results for the lower Baja and about
the only area that still reflects good potential is the Jaime Bank
and outside the 1,000 fathom curve, 10-12 miles below and outside of
Cabo San Lucas, that reflects 71.5 degrees. Water temperatures
inside that mark are are in the 68-69 degree ranges, which do not
normally bode well for the billfish in this area. Most of the boats
are still fishing on the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula, ranging
from the Cabo Falso area to Golden Gate Bank. Adding to the lack of
fish has been the decline in reported fishing days for the fleets.
The overall catch report for a combined total of 11 days fished
reflected 6 stripers, (4 released) 11 dorado, 34 yellowfin tuna, 8
skipjack tuna and 11 Sierra.
Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny and pleasant days with cooler nights and temps that ranged from 54 degree nights to 76 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Light & variable, 5-10 knots of surface breeze from the westerly directions through the week. Mostly clean waters with a greenish tint throughout the entire area and out to 50 miles or more. Temps ranging from 68 to 71.5, with all the warmer water out to the south of Cabo and outside the 1,000 fathom curve.
Best Fishing Area: Continues to be on the Pacific side with most of the fish being taken within 3-4 miles of the coast line.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait remained best for the billfish and both, caballitos and mackerel worked equally well. Tuna were taken about 99% on the feathers of assorted colors.
Live Bait Supply: A good supply was available but mostly caballitos.
