An interesting fishing week from Cabo San Lucas with inshore and offshore fishing opportunities that reflected good catches of yellowfin tuna for the offshore waters and good sierra & yellowtail fishing for the inshore waters. Three of the 4 stripers released this week were taken aboard the "Tuna Time", fishing outside the Palmilla-San Jose area, and there were good reports of billfish sightings in that area though not too eager to take the bait. The "Fish Cabo" reported in for three inshore fishing days that reflected excellent yellowtail and Sierra action and the "Gaviota V" was high boat for the offshore yellowfin tuna action. The overall combined fish reports for the past week for a total of 16 days reflected 4 stipers released, 3 dorado, 54 yellowfin tuna, 1 skipjack, 19 yellowtail and 63 Sierra.

Cabo Climate: Sunny & warm days with much improved & warmer night with temps from 58 nights to 83 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Water temps actually warmed up a bit this past week and remained fairly stable between the Golden Gate Bank on the Pacific side and wrapping around Cabo and into the Sea of Cortez to Boca Del Tule at 70-71 degrees. A 15 mile swath of warmer water just outside the 1000 fathom curve and on a line between the 95 fathom spot and the 1150 fathom spot with temps at 73-74 degrees. Lots of green to greenish waters with the cleaner & bluer water south of Cabo and on a line to the 95 Fathom spot and up to the 1150 Fathom spot and out to the Carillo Seamount.

Best Fishing Area: The Sea of Cortez side for the billfish and the yellowfin tuna and the Pacific side for the inshore catches.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait was best for the billfish and the yellowtail.

Live Bait Supply: Good for caballito and sketchy for sardines.
