Yellowfin tuna were the fish of the week and closely followed by the dorado catches for the very few charters this past week from Cabo San Lucas. The overall daily fish catch averages were good and held at 8 fish per boat day fished but the lack of anglers to go fishing kept the counts lower than normal. All of the fish taken this past week came from the Pacific side of Cabo from Cabo Falso to the Golden Gate Bank, a span of about 23 miles or so, from Cabo San Lucas Harbor.

The Fleet, reporting in for a combined total of 8 days fished reflected 5 stripers released, 21 dorado, (from 10-35 lbs.) and 38 yellowfin tuna, (mostly in the 15-30 lb. ranges and an occasional 40 lb. fish).

Cabo Climate:
Partly cloudy days with intervals of sunshine and temps from 74 nights to 97 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Overall, it was a good week on the ocean that reflected some varied sea temps from 83-84 on the Pacific side and rising to 87 at Cabo San Lucas and rising to 89-90 by the Gorda Banks and into the Sea of Cortez.

Best Fishing Area:
The Pacific side was best and if I were to select an area for tuna & dorado, it would be the Golden Gate Bank, which also kicked out a couple of the stripers, too.

Best Bait/Lure:
The yellowfin tuna were best on the feathers and cedar plugs. Dorado and billfish taken both on the artificials and live bait.

Bait Supply:
Remains good and readily available for the caballitos at the everyday price of $3.00 per bait.
