GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
April 27, 2014
Anglers –
With spring break now officially over, crowds of visitors have lighted up,
weather patterns have continued to warm, feeling increasingly tropical this
past week, early morning clouds, then plenty of sunshine and high
temperatures now into the upper 80s. Ocean water temperatures are ranging
76 to 79 degrees, from Cabo San Lucas to Loss Frailes, no significant
temperature breaks seen. Winds have still been somewhat unpredictable,
though this week has been much more settled than last, recent trend has
been that the south winds are kicking up mid day, early mornings have been
very comfortable.
No news of any new resources for sardinas, available baitfish have been
moonfish, various jacks and fresh brined ballyhoo. There were reports of
more flying fishing now being seen in the warming currents, always a
favorable sign, water clarity has rapidly improved as well, clean blue
water was now found within a half mile of shore.
Early in the week the billfish action was predominately found further
offshore, though that quickly changed, as striped marlin moved in within
less than one mile from shore, straight out in front of the Puerto Los
Cabos Marina, these fish were readily striking on trolled ballyhoo and also
hitting on live baits being drifted down deep. Most of these stripers were
weighing in the 80 to 120 pound range. Locals are continuing to exploit
these marlin, catching them as if they were just part of an hugely
abundant, never ending resource and then selling them on the black market,
as local authorities turn their heads the other direction, supposedly these
billfish are a protected species, preserved for sport fishing, apparently
there is no priority in enforcing such laws.
Dorado were spread out, more often in limited numbers, most anglers were
fortunate to land one, occasional exceptions of schools of these fish
encountered, sizes ranged up to 25 pounds, trolling various live or rigged
baits was most productive. Wahoo were also in the area, but only a handful
were actually landed each day, most of them from areas north of Punta
Gorda, striking on various baitfish, more so than on artificial lures,
sizes ranged to 35 pounds. With the way the ocean conditions are shaping
up, anything could happen on any given day, as we are seeing optimal
conditions now, favorable for a variety of gamefish.
Most of the local panga charters are either targeting the close by billfish
action, or heading north towards the San Luis Bank, where they are
targeting a variety of structure species, working yo-yo jigs off the high
spots, as well as trolling surface baits or lures for dorado, or chance at
a wahoo, marlin were on these grounds as well. We are not seeing any
yellowfin tuna action to report. The closest we are really getting to tuna
now is with the Eastern Pacific Bonito, which despite the warmer waters are
still be caught in fair numbers, striking best early in the day, these
bonito are showing signs of slowing down, they are more of a cold water
species. Other bottom action included pargo (various species), amberjack
and cabrilla. With the rapidly warming waters we have not seen much in the
way of yellowtail. More amberjack arre starting to appear though. Sea lions
continue to be aggressively feeding on these same fishing grounds, at times
making it nearly impossible to land fish, these mammals know where the fish
are schooling and they also know how much easier they are to catch when
they are hooked on a line and be reeled towards the surface, this is like a
game of cat and mouse for these sea lions.
Surprisingly there were still reports of some incredible whale activity,
now well past due time that these mammals should be half way through their
northern migration.
Inshore action included sierra, roosterfish and jack crevalle, though this
action was a bit sporadic from day to day, surely would be better if there
were sardinas available for chumming, especially for the sierra, which are
proficient at slicing the larger bait fish in half.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 85 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 48 striped marlin, 13 wahoo, 15 amberjack,
23 huachinago, 24 cabrilla, 14 jack crevalle, 18 sierra, 47 dorado, 230
bonito and 26 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
