The billfish action continues for the fleets from Cabo San Lucas, with the action taking place on the Pacific side of the peninsula. There was an increase in the yellowfin tuna bite this past week that ranged from the Jaime Bank to the Herradura area, just outside of the Cabo San Lucas Bay area. The "Gaviota VII" was high billfish boat for the week with 11 stripers for their 6 days fished and adding 8 dorado to their bag. The overall combined fish counts for a total of 41 days reflected 51 stripers, (49 released) 4 wahoo, (to 30 lbs.) 69 dorado, (to 41 lbs.) and 64 yellowfin tuna, (mostly school fish in the 15-20 lb. ranges and an occasional 40-50 lb. fish).

Cabo Climate: A mostly cloudy week with temps that ranged from 60 nights to 81 daytime highs and breezy conditions from Thursday thru the weekend.

Sea Conditions: Both sides, the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez side experienced near the same water temps that ranged from 75-77 degrees. Surface winds were blowing from the northerly directions for the most part and ranged to about 17 mph but didn't affect the fishing and catching which continued to be mostly on the Pacific side, albeit, not as smooth a ride for the anglers.

Best Fishing Area: Continues to be the Pacific side in the areas from Cabo Falso to Migrino. All of the tuna came from the Jaime Bank to the Herradura area, all on the Pacific side of Cabo.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait is by far the best but billfish, dorado and wahoo also taking the artificials.

Live Bait Supply: Great live bait supply and mostly caballitos at $3.00 per bait.
