The Tuna Time, skippered by Captain Roberto Padilla, was high boat for the week, reflecting a blue marlin release (approximately 250 lbs.) a sailfish release and 12 yellowfin tuna for a single fishing day, followed by the Gaviota III, skippered by Captain Jorge Ruiz, reflecting 2 stripers released, 3 yellowfin tuna and 5 dorado for 1 fishing day. The overall fish counts for a combined total of 14 days fished reflected 1 blue marlin released, 1 sailfish released, 7 stripers, 22 dorado and 15 yellowfin tuna.

The 43' Hatteras, "Fish Cabo", is undergoing complete renovations in La Paz and is due back in Cabo on September 4, up, running and ready to fish with her new Cummins engines.

Cabo Climate:
Partly cloudy days with temps from 73 nights to 95 daytime highs and humidity at 86%.

Sea Conditions:
Overall, very good. Light & variable surface breezes & cloud cover with sea temps ranging from 84 on the Pacific side to 89 on the Sea of Cortez side and all fishable.

Best Fishing Area:
The bulk of the fishing continues to be on the Pacific side of Cabo, from the area out to the south, (Herradura) and around to Migrino.

Best Lure/Bait:
Live bait best for the billfish and especially effective on the drop-back, once the billfish comes into the lure pattern. Feathers & cedar plugs best for the tuna and dorado taking a bit of everything.

Live Bait Supply:
Excellent this past week for caballitos.
