Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
February 11, 2007
Anglers -
After enduring a month long cold spell there was finally some weather to smile about, there was even a hint of spring in the air, high temperatures reached close to 80 degrees and lows were in the 60s. There was plenty of sunshine and the pesky winds from the north diminished, overall anglers found ideal ocean conditions with minimal swells. Water clarity fluctuated from day to day and blue water was now found further from shore. Average water temperature ranged from 69 to 71 degrees. Large concentrations of sardinas and mackerel are schooling in local waters and the most consistent fishing action recently has been while using these baits.
The cruiser fleets were switching most of their effort in the direction of San Jose del Cabo, this is where the striped marlin have been more numerous, found anywhere from Chileno to the Gordo Banks, from 4 to 14 miles offshore. At times dozens of stripers were seen tailing on the surface, more so mid-day when the breeze would pick up some. Casting live mackerel in front of these tailers proved to be the hot ticket. Sizes averaged 100 to 130 pounds. Along with the striped marlin were a few surprising sailfish and a mix of medium to quality sized dorado, still hanging around in the cooler waters. We hope that with the weather now on a warming trend that the water conditions will do the same.
Whale watching continues to be at its peak, especially for humpbacks in the areas from Gordo Banks to Iman. The same areas where sportfishing fleets have been concentrated, these whale at times were putting on incredible displays of aerobatics. Other interests seen were turtles, sea lions, porpoise, manta rays and flying fish.
The panga fleets out of La Playita found the most consistent action switching from the Inner Gordo Banks. This is where they were finding big schools pf yellowfin tuna, some days the fish would come up and feed early and on other days the bite did not happen until late morning, but on most days anglers were able to find good action for tuna ranging from 20 to 40 pounds. Anglers had success on both live and dead sardinas. Also the fish were striking mackerel, but not as aggressively as they were the smaller baitfishes. In the same vicinity of La Fortuna and Iman Banks there was improved bottomfish action for a mix of pargo, cabrilla, bonita and amberjack, still not in large numbers, but a good sign that more of these fish are now showing up in the fish counts. Anglers found that yo-yo style jigs were starting to produce, as well as various baits off the bottom rock piles.
With offshore conditions being nice the fishing productive there were not many anglers targeting inshore, where there has still not been much of any consistent action reported.
The combined La Playita panga fleet sent out approximately 63 pangas for the week and anglers accounted for a fish count of: 3 sailfish, 11 striped marlin, 28 dorado, 58 pargo,
265 yellowfin tuna, 16 amberjack, 22 cabrilla, 32 bonita and 12 hammerhead shark.
Good fishing, Eric
