Billfish action slower, Yellowfin Tuna has really slowed, Wahoo and Dorado are on the bite at Cabo
11-10-2011
Larry Edwards
Hot boat for the week was the "Gaviota VII" landing the only blue marlin, (a smaller fish under 200 lbs.) and 13 of the 14 wahoo for
the week, (mostly in the 25-50 lb. range). What was really interesting this past week was the lack of yellowfin tuna following the Western Outdoor News Tuna Tournament. It was almost as if the tuna arrived just for the Tournament event and then, evaporated, as
if they never existed. Truly amazing because the Tournament was a very busy tuna catching period. The fishing report for a combined
total of 36 days fished reflected 1 blue marlin, 7 stripers released, 2 roosterfish, 14 wahoo, 1 yellowfin tuna and 155 dorado. The "Fish Cabo" reported dorado to 35-40 lbs. this past week.
Cabo Climate:
Mostly sunny & clear days in the early week with some passing clouds showing up later in the week and temps that ranged from a cool 59 degrees nighty to 86 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions:
From the Finger Bank to the Golden Gate Bank, the temps were 79-80 and moving southerly and around the corner at Cabo San Lucas and up to the Gorda Banks, slowly rising to 82 and stable.
Best Fishing Area:
Clearly, the Pacific side continues to be the location for the fishing action.
Best Lure/Bait:
Live bait and rigged ballyhoo were working equally well for billfish and dorado.
Live Bait Supply:
According to Roberto Marquez, owner of the Fish Cabo Fleet, the live bait supply was OK for the week but many of the boats were taking 50-50 on the live bait and frozen ballyhoo for rigging. Prices were the same for either.

The sportfishing fleet and the Marina had no damage from the storm which was great news from that end of the line. The boats are back to fishing and the overall weather has returned...... Read More
