There has been a good bite on the wahoo on the high spots on the Pacific side with most of the fish in the 20-50 lb. ranges. The "Fish Cabo" lead the fleet with most billfish released and reflected 6 stripers released for 5 fishing days, all from the Pacific side. The overall fish counts for a combined total of 37 days fished reflected 27 stripers, (25 released) 1 sailfish (released) 21 wahoo, 2 yellowfin tuna and 173 dorado, (mostly in the 10-15 lb. ranges with a few larger fish in the mix). The fleet is now awaiting the big schools of Pacific green mackerel that typically show up at this time of year and bring in the big schools of marlin to all of the local banks. While the marlin action remains fairly good, nothing is comparable to the giant schools of feeders that pop up chasing the schools of makcerel and make for some of the world's best billfish action.

Cabo Climate: Where'd that come from? Hurricane Kenneth blew through the offshore area during the early week with winds from 145 to gusting at 170 mph, but having little effect on Cabo other than the southwesterly swells. Cloudy to partly cloudy during the early week and changing to sunny & clear weather with temps that ranged from 60 nights to 85 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Some residual SW swell from Hurricane Kenneth but overall, pretty fishable in any direction. Pacific side water temps holding at 79-81 inside the 1000 fathom curve and wrapping around Cabo and on up to the Gorda Banks. Warmest waters at the Cabrillo Seamount and outside at 82-83 degrees.

Best Fishing Area: The Pacific side continues to hold the fish for the fleet and anglers and good results are being seen from the Herradura area just south of Cabo and around to the Golden Gate Bank on the Pacific side.

Best Bait/Lures: Live bait has been working very well for the billfish and dorado, with a few fish being taking on the artificials. The wahoo taken primarily on the aritficials.

Bait Supply: The caballitos were the bait of the week, albeit, most of the bait was the smaller, 5-6" caballitos.
