The fishing for this past week from Cabo San Lucas offered a 50-50 chance for a billfish and it was pretty much "the luck of the draw". While most of the boats saw billfish, getting them to bite was not so easy and then, too, some of the boats spent the entire time fishing the inshore areas that provided some very good action for the Sierra bite in the 2-6 lb. ranges. It was a very slow week for the fleets and while there seemed to be lots of tourists in Cabo, they were not the fishing folks. The overall combined fishing report for a total of 6 days fished reflected 3 stripers released, 2 amberjack, 2 yellowfin tuna, 12 bonito and 67 Sierra.

Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days with an occasional passing cloud. Nights remain cool and overall, temps ranged from 54 nights to 82 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Pacific side continues to cool with temps at 68-71 degrees. A wide area, from the 95 Fathom Spot to Gorda Banks and out to the Cabrillo Seamount and across the 1000 fathom curve offers good water temps in the 73-74 degree ranges. All of the clean, blue water is in the warm water area.

Best Fishing: Continues to be on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, from the Cabo Falso Light House to Pozo Coto.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait best for the billfish. Sardinas, (when available) offering the best inshore bite.

Live Bait Supply: It was just ok for caballitos and a few mackerel in the mix, along with assorted other not so good bait fish. Sardines were available but only for the first few boats.
