GORDO BANKS PANGAS
January 10, 2021
This past week we definitely noticed that the crowds of tourists which had
flooded the region over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday season, have
dropped off considerably and it looks like the coming winter months will
continue along such patterns, as the world wide situation with the ongoing
Covid pandemic continues, as vaccines have just started to be administered
and in additional there have been new strains of the same virus breaking
out, we will all hope for the best, that this situation stabilizes and we
can once again begin to return to our normal routines.
Cooler winter season conditions are now prevailing, high temperatures
averaging about 75 degrees and with lows of 55 degrees. Though overall the
climate has been very pleasant, definitely a comfortable winter
environment, with warm clear and sunny skies. The northern winds resided
early in the week and ocean conditions were much more comfortable. The cold
and green currents continue to progressing move in a southern direction
from north of Los Frailes, now these currents have now pushed as far as Red
Hill off of San Jose del Cabo. Ocean temperature locally is now in the 68
to 71 degree range.
The Gordo Banks for the last several weeks has been producing the best
overall fishing action. With lots of juvenile sized wahoo concentrated on
this high spot, anglers were finding excellent action for fish in the 8 to
15 lb., occasionally larger. Casting chrome patterned jigs was probably the
most productive technique, also sardinas, ballyhoo, caballito and trolled
Rapalas. There has been heavy pressure on these grounds, since the word of
the action spreads quickly and then we have the spear fishermen, who for
some unschooled reason believe that it is perfectly okay to move in and get
in the water with their spears directly next to where the already congested
rod and reel angler fleets are concentrated, established, while mainly
drift fishing, strange unprecedented situation has now developed. What
happened to any etiquette or reasonable sense? We thought that there were
regulations in place where this activity was to be keep a certain safe
distance apart to avoid any conflicts or injury.
With cold green current now upon the Gordo Banks the action has slowed and
become far less consistent than in previous weeks, this will be time when
fleets start to concentrate more along the shore for sierra, as well as the
shallow water structure, for a variety of species. Striped marlin action
will be the main option further offshore, as this action will be now more
prevalent in the direction of the Sea of Cortez and not on the Pacific. As
the marlins predominate food source has now migrating in this same
direction.
There are still some dorado being encountered, though in the cooler green
conditions, the numbers are much less. Sizes varied, a few nicer sized
bulls were accounted for, found on the same marlin grounds further from
shore. In the coming weeks the key to offshore success will be to find the
best looking conditions and concentrate on these locations.
Recently we have not seen much off the bottom besides some bonito, smaller
red snapper and triggerfish. Maybe this will be the year that we see a
strong run of yellowtail appear on local grounds. We will optimistically
wait and see what develops this winter season. In the meantime there have
strong numbers of whales being sighted, this is now peak season to view
these mammals in local waters.
Good fishing, Eric
