Just another fun-fishing week from Cabo San Lucas with the total report coming from the Pacific side of the peninsula. It was another terrific week for dorado action in varied sizes and a few larger fish in the 35-40 lb. ranges and the average in the 15-20 lb ranges. A fine week of overly nice weather that produced about a 50% chance for a billffish mixed in with the dorado catches. The yellowfin tuna remained absent again this past week but that happens in this area from time to time and we remain thrilled that the tuna showed up for the WON Tuna Tournament. The only thing we are not yet seeing is the annual movement of the giant, Pacific green mackerel bait schools on the banks, (especially the Golden Gate and Jaime Banks) that attract the huge numbers of Pacific striped marlin that the area is famous for. Hopefully, soon coming. The overall catches for 48 days fished reflected a combined total of 21 stripers, (19 released) 1 sailfish released, 7 wahoo, (20 to 50 Lbs. with 5 taken aboard the "Gaviota XI" on 11/15/11) and 248 dorado.

Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days with temps that varied from 59 nights to 84 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Very fishable conditions all week with gradual temp changes from 79-80 at the Finger Bank on the Pacific to 81-82 at the Gorda Banks, toward the Sea of Cortez side.

Best Fishing Area: Unquestionably, the Pacific side continues to dominate the best fishing area.

Best Lure/Bait: Billfish were best on live bait with a few caught on artificials, (it's getting to be the tim of year when the mackerel colored artificials tend to work very well). Dorado were good on live bait and artificials and generally eager to bite on anything that moved in the water.

Live Bait Supply: Back to normal following the full moon phase, with mostly caballitos in the mix.
