The incredible Pacific current swept by Cabo San Lucas and pushed its way into the Sea of Cortez early in the week, dropping water temperatures nearly 15 degrees before starting the warming change. The temp ranges went from 82-83 degrees and dropped almost overnight to 67 degrees and extended from the Pacific side and up to Las Frailes, on the Sea of Cortez side of the Peninsula. Truly, it's hard to imagine what a 15 degree drop in sea temperatures can do to fishing and I can only share with you, the changes had an enormous downward effect on the overall fish counts for the week. However, as the week progressed, the sea temps started to climb back up and the billfish were staring to move back into the areas and the "hot spot" was in the area of the 1150 fathom spot and outside to the Cabrillo Seamount. The overall fish counts for a total of 16 days fished reflected 11 stripers released, 6 dorado, (18-35 lb. range) and 49 yellowfin tuna to 48 lbs.

Cabo Climate:
Mostly sunny and warm days with temps from 70 nights to 91 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
As of this morning, we were seeing temps back to the low 80's in the area of the 1150 Fathom spot and northerly, along the 1000 fathom curve. A warming trend was pushing back down the Sea of Cortez and appears to be overtaking the cooler Pacific current.

Best Fishing Area:
The 1150 Fathom Spot and out to the Cabrillo Seamount and northerly, into the Sea of Cortez.

Best Lure/Bait:
Live bait was best and was working well on the drop-back for fish following the lures.

Live Bait Supply:
Remained good through the week for caballitos.
