Fish Report for 7-12-2012
Yellowfin tuna are showing at Cabo San Lucas
7-12-2012
Larry Edwards
Wow! The long overdue yellowfin tuna have finally started to show up and in fair numbers, too. Better yet, they are within 10-15 miles from the harbor and while school sized fish, (mostly in the 12-20 lb. ranges) there have been some larger, (50-60 pounders in the mix) that have been adding some spice to the days. Most of the boats that get on the fish early get the better catches but overall, it continues to average about 5 tuna per boat fished day and that's more than enough for dinner. The billfish are still in the area but have backed off the bite during the past week. The "Tuna Time" was high boat for the week with 3 striper releases taken on 2 of their 4 days fished and added to their score of 3 dorado and 31 yellowfin tuna. The water temperatures have seemed to stabilize through the past week and spiraled upward in to very favorable territory. Look for continued summer action from Cabo San Lucas as the elements settle to fishing perfection. Overall counts for the past week for a total of 22 days fished reflected 6 stripers released, 15 dorado and 115 yellowfin tuna.
Cabo Climate: Warm and partly days with some humidity and temperatures ranging from 76 nights to 94 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Excellent water temps that ranged from 83 on the Golden Gate Bank on the Pacific side to 85 on the Gorda Banks on the Sea of Cortez side. Good water clarity to the east of Cabo and into the Sea of Cortez.
Best Fishing Area: The "Herradura" area, just to the south of Cabo and out to the 95 fathom spot for the billfish and the yellowffin tuna.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait best for the billfish and the feathers, cedar plugs and Rapala type diving lures, along with feather and hoochies, working very well on the yellowfin tuna.
Bait Supply: Excellent for the caballitos.
