Fish Report for 10-31-2011

Cabo San Lucas, Baja Sur Mexico Fish Report

10-31-2011
Gary Graham

The billfish have picked up, more striped marlin are being caught, and the sailfish numbers are remaining up there also. They usually feed with the dorado, but have heard reports of the sailfish being caught alongside the yellowfin. No reports of any large blue or black marlin, but there were some in the 100 to 200 pound range.

Tuna! Tuna! Tuna! I want Sushi! Lots of tuna around which is a good thing with the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot coming up this Thursday and Friday. Most of the tuna I have seen coming in however have been in the 30 to 40 pound range with a few in the 60 to 100 pound range. There are reports of 200+ pound fish jumping, but couldn't get them to bite. Tossing ballyhoo, mackerel, cedar plugs, they just wouldn't bite. Whoever figures out what they want will make some money this week if they are in the tournament!

Lots, and lots of dorado again. If you are trolling inshore, they are hard to miss. A lot of small ones; I even saw someone with a 2 pound fish the other day. Normally, those are thrown back, but this one didn't make it. Most of the fish are in the 8 to 15 pound range with some hitting the 30 pound mark.

There have been a few wahoo flags recently...fish in the 30 pound range. Not usually many this time of year.

The water temperatures are staying warm, so still some nice roosterfish around, snapper, groupers; almost November, but I haven't seen any sierra yet. The dorado fishing is also good close to shore...George and Mary Landrum
