Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report
2-24-2011
Larry Edwards
An interesting fishing week from Cabo San Lucas that defies
reasonable explanation, 100% of the billfish taken this past week
came from the pacific side of the peninsula, in the cooler and
greenish tinted waters. Yet, at the beginning of the Sea of Cortez
side of the peninsula, just outside the Palmilla Ridge drop off,
numerous marlin were being seen but none were willing to bite and the
conditions were far more favorable, including clean water and higher
water temperatures. Perhaps it was the full moon phase or a heavier
feed biomass unseen and in the deep water or some combination? Just
don't know for sure other than the fish are there and if they do
decide to bite, it will be fun fishing for those anglers in the
area. It was again another slow week for anglers that reflected a
total of 8 fishing days and one of those days was an entirely inshore
fishing effort. The overall combined catches reflected 5 stripers
released, 8 yellowfin tuna 36 Sierra and 2 bonito for the fleet's
efforts.
Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny and pleasant days with coolish evenings and nights and temps from 55 nights to 78 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Pacific side, from Golden Gate to Jaime Bank, ranged from 66-68 degrees. From Jaime Bank south and across the 1000 fathom curve, the temps increased to 71-72. The warmest waters for the area were the 1150 fathom spot and out to the Cabrillo Seamount, where temps climbed to 74 degrees. Lots of greenish tinted water on the Pacific side and around to Chileno, then cleaning to blue water up to Boca Del Tule, in the Sea of Cortez side.
Best Fishing Area: Pacific side, from Migrino to Gray Rock, (Cabeza De Ballena).
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait best for the billfish on the Pacific side but totally disinterested on the Sea of Cortez side.
Live Bait Supply: Just so-so and a mix of caballitos, a few mackerel and a variety of odd baitfish.
